Sāvatthinidānaṁ.  At Sāvatthī.

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho rājā pasenadi kosalo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  Seated to one side, King Pasenadi said to the Buddha,
“kattha nu kho, bhante, dānaṁ dātabban”ti?  “Sir, where should a gift be given?”

“Yattha kho, mahārāja, cittaṁ pasīdatī”ti.  “Wherever your heart feels inspired, great king.”

“Kattha pana, bhante, dinnaṁ mahapphalan”ti?  “But sir, where is a gift very fruitful?”

“Aññaṁ kho etaṁ, mahārāja, kattha dānaṁ dātabbaṁ, aññaṁ panetaṁ kattha dinnaṁ mahapphalanti?  “Where a gift should be given is one thing, great king, but where a gift is very fruitful is another.
Sīlavato kho, mahārāja, dinnaṁ mahapphalaṁ, no tathā dussīle.  A gift is very fruitful when it’s given to an ethical person, not so much to an unethical person.
Tena hi, mahārāja, taññevettha paṭipucchissāmi. Yathā, te khameyya, tathā naṁ byākareyyāsi.  Well then, great king, I’ll ask you about this in return, and you can answer as you like.

Taṁ kiṁ maññasi, mahārāja,  What do you think, great king?
idha tyassa yuddhaṁ paccupaṭṭhitaṁ saṅgāmo samupabyūḷho. 
samupabyūḷho → samūpabbūḷho (bj, pts2ed); samupabbuḷho (pts1ed) Suppose you were at war, ready to fight a battle.
Atha āgaccheyya khattiyakumāro asikkhito akatahattho akatayoggo akatūpāsano bhīru chambhī utrāsī palāyī.  Then along comes an aristocrat youth who is untrained, inexpert, unfit, inexperienced. And he’s fearful, scared, nervous, quick to flee.
Bhareyyāsi taṁ purisaṁ, attho ca te tādisena purisenā”ti?  Would you employ such a man? Would he be of any use to you?”

“Nāhaṁ, bhante, bhareyyaṁ taṁ purisaṁ, na ca me attho tādisena purisenā”ti.  “No, sir, I would have no use for such a man.”

“Atha āgaccheyya brāhmaṇakumāro asikkhito …pe…  “What about a brahmin youth,
atha āgaccheyya vessakumāro asikkhito …pe…  a peasant youth,
atha āgaccheyya suddakumāro asikkhito …pe…  or a menial youth who was similar?”

na ca me attho tādisena purisenā”ti.  “No, sir, I would have no use for such a man.”

“Taṁ kiṁ maññasi, mahārāja,  “What do you think, great king?
idha tyassa yuddhaṁ paccupaṭṭhitaṁ saṅgāmo samupabyūḷho.  Suppose you were at war, ready to fight a battle.
Atha āgaccheyya khattiyakumāro susikkhito katahattho katayoggo katūpāsano abhīru acchambhī anutrāsī apalāyī.  Then along comes an aristocrat youth who is trained, expert, fit, experienced. And he’s fearless, brave, bold, standing his ground.
Bhareyyāsi taṁ purisaṁ, attho ca te tādisena purisenā”ti?  Would you employ such a man? Would he be of any use to you?”

“Bhareyyāhaṁ, bhante, taṁ purisaṁ, attho ca me tādisena purisenā”ti.  “Yes, sir, I would have a use for such a man.”

“Atha āgaccheyya brāhmaṇakumāro …pe…  “What about a brahmin youth,
atha āgaccheyya vessakumāro …pe…  a peasant youth,
atha āgaccheyya suddakumāro susikkhito katahattho katayoggo katūpāsano abhīru acchambhī anutrāsī apalāyī.  or a menial youth who was similar?
Bhareyyāsi taṁ purisaṁ, attho ca te tādisena purisenā”ti?  Would you employ such a man? Would he be of any use to you?”

“Bhareyyāhaṁ, bhante, taṁ purisaṁ, attho ca me tādisena purisenā”ti.  “Yes, sir, I would have a use for such a man.”

“Evameva kho, mahārāja, yasmā kasmā cepi kulā agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajito hoti, so ca hoti pañcaṅgavippahīno pañcaṅgasamannāgato, tasmiṁ dinnaṁ mahapphalaṁ hoti. 
yasmā kasmā cepi → yasmā cepi (bj, sya-all, km, mr) “In the same way, a gift to anyone who has given up five factors and possesses five factors is very fruitful, no matter what family they’ve gone forth from.

Katamāni pañcaṅgāni pahīnāni honti?  What are the five factors they’ve given up?
Kāmacchando pahīno hoti, byāpādo pahīno hoti, thinamiddhaṁ pahīnaṁ hoti, uddhaccakukkuccaṁ pahīnaṁ hoti, vicikicchā pahīnā hoti.  Sensual desire, ill will, dullness and drowsiness, restlessness and remorse, and doubt.
Imāni pañcaṅgāni pahīnāni honti.  These are the five factors they’ve given up.

Katamehi pañcahaṅgehi samannāgato hoti?  What are the five factors they possess?
Asekkhena sīlakkhandhena samannāgato hoti, asekkhena samādhikkhandhena samannāgato hoti, asekkhena paññākkhandhena samannāgato hoti, asekkhena vimuttikkhandhena samannāgato hoti, asekkhena vimuttiñāṇadassanakkhandhena samannāgato hoti.  The entire spectrum of an adept’s ethics, immersion, wisdom, freedom, and knowledge and vision of freedom.
Imehi pañcahaṅgehi samannāgato hoti.  These are the five factors they possess.

Iti pañcaṅgavippahīne pañcaṅgasamannāgate dinnaṁ mahapphalan”ti.  I say that a gift to anyone who has given up these five factors and possesses these five factors is very fruitful.”

Idamavoca bhagavā …pe…  That is what the Buddha said.
satthā:  Then the Holy One, the Teacher, went on to say:

“Issattaṁ balavīriyañca, 
Issattaṁ → issatthaṁ (bj, sya-all, km, pts2ed) | balavīriyañca → balaviriyañca (bj, sya-all, km, pts2ed) “Any youth skilled at archery,
yasmiṁ vijjetha māṇave;  powerful and vigorous,
Taṁ yuddhattho bhare rājā,  would be employed by a king going to war—
nāsūraṁ jātipaccayā.  one is not a coward by reason of birth.

Tatheva khantisoraccaṁ,  Just so, whoever is settled
dhammā yasmiṁ patiṭṭhitā;  in the qualities of patience and gentleness,
Ariyavuttiṁ medhāviṁ,  a clever person with noble conduct,
hīnajaccampi pūjaye.  should be venerated even if they’re low born.

Kāraye assame ramme,  You should build lovely hermitages
vāsayettha bahussute;  and settle learned people in them.
Papañca vivane kayirā,  You should set up water supplies in barren regions
dugge saṅkamanāni ca.  and passages in places hard to travel.

Annaṁ pānaṁ khādanīyaṁ,  Food, drink, edibles,
vatthasenāsanāni ca;  clothes, and lodgings
Dadeyya ujubhūtesu,  should be given to the sincere ones,
vippasannena cetasā.  with a clear and confident heart.

Yathā hi megho thanayaṁ,  The thundering rain cloud,
vijjumālī satakkaku;  its hundred peaks wreathed in lightning,
Thalaṁ ninnañca pūreti,  pours down over the rich earth,
abhivassaṁ vasundharaṁ.  soaking the uplands and valleys.

Tatheva saddho sutavā,  So too an astute person,
abhisaṅkhacca bhojanaṁ;  faithful and learned,
Vanibbake tappayati,  should prepare a meal to satisfy
annapānena paṇḍito.  supplicants with food and drink.

Āmodamāno pakireti,  Rejoicing, they strew gifts about,
detha dethāti bhāsati;  crying ‘Give! give!’
Taṁ hissa gajjitaṁ hoti,  For that is their thunder,
devasseva pavassato;  like rain sent from the heavens.
Sā puññadhārā vipulā,  That stream of merit so abundant
dātāraṁ abhivassatī”ti.  showers down on the giver.”
