Sārajjasutta  Timidity

“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu sārajjaṁ okkanto hoti. 
okkanto → okkamanto (mr)
“Mendicants, a mendicant with five qualities is overcome by timidity.
Katamehi pañcahi?  What five?
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu assaddho hoti, dussīlo hoti, appassuto hoti, kusīto hoti, duppañño hoti.  It’s when a mendicant is faithless, unethical, with little learning, lazy, and witless.
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu sārajjaṁ okkanto hoti.  A mendicant with these five qualities is overcome by timidity.

Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu visārado hoti.  A mendicant with five qualities is self-assured.
Katamehi pañcahi?  What five?
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddho hoti, sīlavā hoti, bahussuto hoti, āraddhavīriyo hoti, paññavā hoti.  It’s when a mendicant is faithful, ethical, learned, energetic, and wise.
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu visārado hotī”ti.  A mendicant with these five qualities is self-assured.”

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
