PREFACE Among the Minor Rock Edicts of A s o k a the one with which we are concerned here is known as Bhābrul Edict. It is also known as the second Bairāt Rock Edict. Bairāț (originally Vairāța, belonging to Virāța, the country or its king) or Virāțapura is the ancient capital of the Matsya Deśa connected with the Mahābhārata story. In that town the five Pāņdavas lived incognito for one year. This Bairāt is in the Jaipur state in Rājputānā, 41 miles north of Jaipur, 25 miles west of Alwar, and 8} miles east, as the crow flies, from the camping ground at Bhābrū. The town of Bairāt is in a valley enclosed in concentric lines of hills. There is a pyramid of black rocks, one mile N.E. of the town. It is called Pandu's Hill." At the foot of it, there is an isolated block. On the southern side of it, there is an imperfect version of the 1st Edict as known at Rupnath and at Sahasaram. This Edict is called the first Bairāt Edict. It was discovered in 1872-73 by Carlle yle. Bijak Pahār is the name of another hill of the same town. On the top of this in 1840 Capt. Burt discovered the second Bairāț Rock Edict or Bhābrū Edict which is now before us. 1 It is often called Bhābrā, but not correctly, as pointed out by V. Smith (Early History of India, 3rd Edition, Oxford. 1914: p. 158, foot note). In the Archaeological Survey of India Vol. VI, pp. 96, 108, the name is Babero. Sometimes it is called Bairāt, or Bairāt-Bhābrā Edict: 2 Archacological Survey of India, Vol, VI: Report of a Tour in Eastern Rajputana in 1871-72 and 1872-73 by A, C. Le Carlle yle, Calcutta, 1878, B-1617 B BUDDHIST TEXTS As the place of the Edict is 12 miles from a camping station named Bhābrū on the old route from Delhi to Jaipur, it is called Bhābrū Edict. That isolated block on which the Edict was inscribed was conveyed to Calcutta down the Jumna and the Ganges and is now in the premises of the Royal Asiatic Society .of Bengal. The Edict was first published in JASB, 1840, p. 67, by Capt. M. Kitto with the aid of the learned Pundit ka mala kant.' Since then it has been published and discussed by different scholars. There is an excellent facsimile of the inscription published by Senert in the Journal Asiatique, 1887, t. ix, pp. 498ff., as well as by Hultzsch in his Inscriptions of A soka. The facsimile given in the present book is taken from Hultzsch. The Edict is in Brāhmi character. It is more than 40 years since I happened to reach somewhere a suggestion made by a writer on the Inscriptions of A sok a to the effect that a collection in a volume of all the canonical texts referred to or recommended by A sok a in the present Edict, together with their English translation would be welcome by readers. But seeing that it is not done by any one, so far as my information goes, I myself have undertaken it and I offer it to my readers as best as I have been able to do it. With regard to the readings as well as the as the explanations of some words in the Edict, as we all know, scholars are widely divided. Different are also their opinions on the identification of the texts referred to by A s o k a,, each one advancing one's own grounds. It has been discussed for years by scholars in this country and abroad and undoubtedly it will further be discussed in the future. I have, how. ever, not done so the only object before me being to give my readers a popular volume containing the Budddist texts referred to by A sok a together with their English translation ag said above. With reference to the text of the Edict, I have taken ÞREFACE It is a copy it as published by Woolner (Asoka : Text and Glossary, Panjab University Oriental Publication, Pt. II) comparing it with that published by the University of Calcutta (The Inscriptions of Asoka, Pt. II). In doubtful cases I have adopted the readings of Hultzsch. I have given here a facsimi.e of the Edict. of the one given by Hultzsch in his work. For those who know Sanskrit, I have also given its chāyā, i.e., approximate and easily understandable rendering in that language. In regard to the identifications with Buddhist Texts alluded to by A so k a, mosty I have accepted the views of Winternitz and some others. It is, however, to be noted that the first text in the Edict, i.e., Vinayasamukasa, so far as I can see, is not yet satisfactorily identified, and as such it should have been excluded from the present collection; yet, simply in order to present a complete volume I have included it agreeing with the views of some scholars. The identifications are as follows : (1). Vinayasamukasa (Pali Vinayasamukkamsa, Skt. Vinayasamutkarşa). It is the principal sermon of the Vinaya Pitaka, i.e., the at Benares called Dhammacakkapavattana-sutta, Vinaya Pitaka, Mahāvagga, 1.6.17-26. (2). Aliyavasa (Pali Ariyavāsa, Skt. Āryavāsa.) It is in the Sangīti-suttanta and Das'uttara-sutianta in the Dīgha Nikāya (Vol. III, pp. 269 and 291 respectively). (3). Anāgatabhaya. It is in the Angutiara Nikāya, LXXVII-LXXX (Vol. III, pp. 100 ff). (4). Munigāthā. It is the Munisutta in the Suttanipāta, verses 206-220. (5). Moneyasūta. It is the Pali Moneyyasutta in the Anguttara Nikāya, III. 120 (Vol. I, p. 273). (6). Upatisapasina (Pali Upatissapanha, Skt. Upaiişyaprašna). It is the Sāriputtasutta in the Suttanipāta, verses 955-975. sermon tii BUDDHIST TEXTS (7). Lūyhulovāda (Pali Rāhulovāda, Skt. Rāhulāvavāda). It is in the Majjhima Nikāya. No. 60. Vol. I, pp. 414-420. The latest discussion on the point is by Dr. B. M. Baru a of the University of Calcutta in his new work, Asoka and his Inscriptions. The book is indispensable. I have tried to translate the texts in. Pali mostly literally, so that the reader may form some idea of the original text. Though in many cases the translation could be abridged without any harm, I have refrained from doing so for the same purpose. But in a few cases, I have made some abridgement in order to avoid unnecessary repetition well-known in Buddhist texts. The texts collected here are mainly from the editions of the Pali Text Society and in the case of the Vinaya text, Oldenberg's edition is utilised. Now a few words as to why A sok a recommended the particular seven texts when there were so many others. What is then there of special importance? It is evident from his own words that though whatever is said by the Buddha is well-said, yet there are some texts through which the Good Law will long endure. Though the Edict was intended for the people at large, it was primarily meant for monks and puns. Therefore, the importance of the texts lies ir their contents and we are to discuss it a little, As regards the first text, Vinayasamukasa, which could not yet satisfactorily identified, as we have seen before, it is quite clear from the very word, literally meaning' Discipline par excellence,' that whatever the text may actually be, it particularly deals with rinaya, or discipline. We know from the present Edict that A sok a got it inscribed thinking that by doing so the Good Law would endure long. Here we see, among the seven texts the first place was given by A sok a to vinaya and it is very significant. We see in the proceedings of the First Rehearsal (Dhammamahā.
PRKNACK xiii sangīti, see Vinaya, Cullavagga, XI. 1. 6, 8.) that it was cinaya which was recited first, and then dhamma. And why was it that vinaya was recited first and then dhamma? We read in the Samantapāsūdikă of Buddha ghosa, in course of giving the description of the proceedings of the First Rehearsal that in the assembly M a hā kas sa pa put a question to the Order as to whether vinaya or dhamma was to be recited first, and the Order said in reply that vinaya was to be given the first place on the ground that the life oí the Buddhasāsana 'the teaching of the Buddha, Buddha,' was vinaya, as the endurance of dhamma depended on the endurance of vinaya. It is therefore quite reasonable that A sok a has first mentioned Vinayasamukasa. The second text, Aliyarusu or īryavāsa, 'the Noble State of Living,' speaks for itself. It shows how a monk is to act for his purification and spiritual advancement, controlling his body and mind, and lays special emphasis on the fact that it is his mind which is his real guard. He is also advised to eschew dogmas. All this, if observed properly, will undoubtedly lead to the fulfilment of A sok a's object. We have already seen that the object which A sok a kept in view in getting the Edict inscribed was only to dr something by which the Good Law could long endure, and quite in consonance with the spirit it was only natural that he was expected to have recommended the third text, i.e., Anāgatabhaya ‘Fears to come.' This was particularly meant for monks with a view to warning them. In instructing others the cultivation of one's body, character, mind and insight is absolutely essential on the part of the instructor, 1 vinayo nama buddhasésanassa ãyu vinaye thite såsanam thitam hoti. tasmi pathamam vinavam samgāyāma. Samantapåsädikā, l'inaya Pitaka, Vol. III, p. 289. This is to be found also in the Atthakathā8 of Buddhagh o sa XIV BUDDHIST TEXTS so that he can lead the instructed aright, otherwise it is only to bring about a disastrous consequence. It is the proper cultivation of body, character, etc. on which discipline depends and discipline is followed by righteousness. In fact discipline and righteousness are interdependent; and so if one is lost, the other is sure to follow the suit. By recommending the fourth text, Munigāthā, A sok a set before the monks the high ideal of a Muni, which they should follow. By the fifth text, i.e., Moneyasūta, the Discourse on the State of a Muni,' A sok a wanted to impress on the mind of one who aspired to be a Muni the importance of the threefold restraint e.g., the restraint of one's body, mind and speech. Including the sixth text, i.e., Upatisapasina (i.e., Sāriputtasutta) ' the Question of Upatissa,' A so k a showed in the words of the Buddha, how a Bhikkhu was to lead his life. Finally, by referring to the seventh text, Rāghulovāda, the Instruction to Rāhula,' A sok a wanted the people to know the evil consequences of a deliberate lie, saying that there is no evil which can not be done by one who is not ashamed to tell a deliberate lie. Thus it is evident from the above that the mention in the Edict of those seven texts by A sok a who wanted the long endurance of Good Law was quite appropriate. I am indebted to my predecessors for what I have taken from their book. I am also really thankful to my friend, Sri Sailendranath Mitra, M.A., Secretary, Councils of Post-Graduate Teaching in Arts and Science, Calcutta University, for the help I have derived from him in various ways. Lastly I am very g'ad specially to express my deep sense of gratitude to Dr. Sya m a prasad Mookerjee, M.A., PEEFACE XV B.L., D.Litt., LL.D., Barrister-at-Law, Minister, Government of India, formerly President, Council of Post-Graduate Teaching in Arts, University of Calcutta, under whose benign and sympathetic patronage the book is included in the publications of the University.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE EDICT
1
King Priyadarsin of Magadha having saluted the
Samgha wishes them good health and happy living.
It is known to you, O Revered Sirs, how great are my
reverence for, and faith in Buddha, Dharma and Samgha.
Whatever, Revered Sirs, is said by the Blessed Buddha is
well-said. Yet, Revered Sirs, whatever I may point out
thinking 'Thus the good Dharma will endure for ever,' I
am entitled to do so. These are, O Revered Sirs, the texts of
Dharma :
6
(i) Vinayasamukasa Vinaya par excellence,'
(ii) Aliyavasa' Noble States of Living,'
(iii) Anāgatabhaya ' Fears to come,'
(iv) Munigāthā ' The Stanzas of a Muni,'
Moneyasūta The Discourse of the state of a Muni
(vi) Upatisapasina The Questions of Upatişya,' as well
as what is said by the Blessed Buddha concerning
falsehood in the,
(vii) Lāghulovāda The Instruction to Rāhula.'
These texts of Dharma I desire. Why? Because
numerous men of whom the majority are monks, as well as
nuns may frequently listen to, and realise (them). For
this reason, Revered Sirs, I get this inscribed, so that
they may know my intention.
1 Tuiterally meaning 'one who looks on (all) as dear.'

VINAYA SAMUKASA DISCIPLINE PAR EXCELLENCE 6 6 1. Then the Blessed One addressed the Bhikkhus belonging to a group of five : These two extremes, O Bhikkhus, are not to be resorted to by one who has renounced the world. What are these two ? The attachment to worldly enjoyment, which is vile, sexual, vulgar, ignoble and unprofitable; and the devotion to self-mortification which is painful, ignoble and unprofitable. Without having recourse to these extremes, 0 Bhikkhus, the Tathāgata has perfectly understood the Middle Path which opens one's eyes, produces knowledge and is for tranquillization, wisdom, en. lightenment and nirvana. Which, o Bhikkhus, is the Middle Path? It is the noble Eightfold Path, viz., Right Views, Right Aspiration, Right Speech, Right Conduct, Right Livelihood, Right Endeavour, Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration. This is, o Bhikkhus, that Middle Path which is perfectly understood by Tathāgata, and which open's one's eyes, produces knowledge and is for tranquillization, wisdom, enlightenment and nirvāņa. 3. Suffering, O Bhikkhus, is a Noble Truth.' Birth is suffering; old age is suffering; disease is suffering; death is suffering; coming into contact with what is unpleasant is suffering; not to obtain what one desires is suffering. In short, the five aggregates of the constituent elements causing attachment' are suffering Panca upadadakkhandhi. The five khandhas or skandhas are viz. (1) rūpa 'material qualities, (2) vedana' 'feeling," (3) safnū or naina 'perception,' (4) samkhara or samskära 'co-efficients of cons. ciousness,' and (5) viññāņa or vijftāna 'consciousness.'
24 ENGLISH TRANSLATION 4. 'O Bhikkhus, the cause of suffering is a Noble Truth. It is thirst (tanhã, trsnā) that leads to rebirth, accompanied by pleasure and lust, finding its delight here and there. (This is three-fold). The thirst for sensuous pleasure, the thirst for existence, and the thirst for nonexistence. 6 5. ' Again, O Bhikkhus, the cessation of suffering is a Noble Truth. It is the complete cessation of thirst, the destruction of it, the abandoning of it, the giving up of it, the deliverance from it, and the doing away with it. 6. Again, O Bhikkhus, the path that leads to the cessation of suffering is a Noble Truth. And it is that Noble Eight-fold Path, viz., Right View, Right Aspiration, Right Speech, Right Conduct, Right Livelihood, Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration. 7. Now among the doctrines which formerly had not been heard of my eyes were opened, I had the knowledge, I had the wisdom, I had the higher knowledge and I had the light that (i) suffering is a Noble Truth, that (ii) it must be perfectly understood, and that (iii) it has perfectly been understood by me. 8. ' Again, O Bhikkhus, my eyes were opened and I had the light that (i) the cause of suffering is a Noble Truth that (ii) it must be abandoned, and that (iii) it has been abandoned by me. 9. Again, O Bhikkhus, my eyes were opened and I had the light that (i) the cessation of suffering, is a Noble Truth, that (ii) the cessation of suffering must be realised, and that (iit) it has been realised by me. 10. Again, O Bhikkhus, my eyes were opened and I had the light that (i) the Path which leads to the cessation of suffering is á Noble Truth, (ii) that it must be meditated upon, and thať (iii) it has been done so by me:
ALIYAVASA 26 6 11. As long as, O Bhikkhus, I had not the true and well-purified knowledge and insight into these four Noble Truths which are three-fold and as such have the twelve forms, so long, O Bhikkhus, I did not know that I had obtained the highest enlightenment in the world of gods, of Māra and of Brahmā, and among all people including Samamas (recluses), Brāhmaṇas, gods and men. 12. But since, 0 Bhikkhus, I possessed the true and well-purified knowledge and insight into these four Noble Truths which are three-fold and as such have the twelve forms, I know, 0 Bhikkhus, that I have obtained the highest enlightenment in the world of gods, of Māra 1 and of Brahmā; and among all peoples, including Samaņas (Buddhist monks), Brāhmaṇas, gods and men. 13. And this knowledge and insight arose in my inind : The emancipation of my mind cannot be shaken, this is my last birth, there is now no rebirth for me".' 14. Thus the Blessed One said. And the Bhikkhus belonging to the group of the five were delighted and rejoiced at the words of the Blessed One. II ALIYAVASA THE NOBLE STATES OF LIVING . ten noble states of living. Here, friends, a monk is devoid of five qualities, is endowed with six qualities, has one guard and a four-fold recourse. He rejects individual opinions (dogmas), completely gives up desires, · The Tempter, the Ruler of the highest of the six Kamadevalokas. 1617 B.
26 ENGLISH TRANSLATION has pure thoughts, gets the action of the body tranquillized and has his mind and insight well emancipated. 2. How, O friends, is a monk devoid of the five qualities? Here, friends, the sensuality of a monk is given up and so are his malevolence, sloth and torpor, excitement, worry and doubt. Thus, indeed, friends, a monk becomes devoid of the five qualities. 3. How', O friends, is a monk cndowed with the six qualiites? Here, friends, a monk having seen material forms with his eyes is neither delighted, nor displeased, but remains indifferent, mindful and attentive. Similarly having heard a sound with his ear, having perceived odour with his nose, having experienced taste with his tongue. having touched the tangible by the body, and having known an idea with the mind he is neither delighted, nor displeased, and remains indifferent and attentive. Thus, () friend, a monk is endowed with six qualities. 4. And how has, ( friends, a monk one guard? A monk, friends, has a guard in his thoughtful mind. Thus, indeed ,friends, a monk has one guard. 5. How' has, friends, a monk four-fold recourse? Here a monk, friends, having considered pursues something, accepts something, puts away something, and avoids something. Thus indeed, friends, a monk has four-fold recourse. 6. How does a monk, friends, reject the individual opinions (dogmas)? Here; friends, all those individual opinions which are held by different Samanas and Brāhmaṇas are dismissed, put away, given up, ejected, let go, rejected and abandoned by the monk. Thus, O friends, a monk rejects the individual opinions. 7. And how does a monk, ( friends, completely give up desires? Here, friends, a monk abandons his desire for worldly enjoyment, desire for rebirth and desire for practis- - ANAGAT'ABHAYA 27 ing religious life (brahmacurya). Thus, V friends, does a monk completely give up his desires. 8. And how has a monk, O friends, pure thoughts? Here, O friends, the sensual ideas, the malicious ideas, and the cruel ideas are abandoned. Thus, friends, a monk has pure thoughts. 9. And how does he tranquillize the actions of the body? Because of the elimination of pleasure and pain he attains to and abides in a state of meditation known as the Fourth Meditation (caturtha dhyāna). On account of the previous disappearance of both mental pain and pleasure it is a state neither of pain, nor of pleasure, but of pure indifference and mindfulness. Thus, friends, the monk tranquillizes the actions of the body. 10. And how does a monk, friends, have his mind and insight well-emancipated : His mind is emancipated from attachment, from hatred and illusion. Thus, O friends, a monk has his mind well-emancipated. 11. And how does he have his insight emancipated ? Here, O friends, a monk understands that his attachment, hatred and illusion are eliminated, are cut off at the very root and become like the stump of a palm tree, non-existent and unable to grow again in future. Thus, ( friends, a monk has his insight well-emancipated. III ANĀGATABHAYA FEARS TO COME 1. These are the five fears to come, O monks, which have not yet arisen, but will arise in future. These are to be understood by you and having understood them you are to strive for their avoidance." What are the five?
28 ENGLISH TRANSLATION 2. “In future, 0 monks, there will be monks without cultivating their body, their character, their mind and their insight. They will give others higher ordination. They will, however, not be able to lead the latter to higher character, higher mind and higher insight. And these latter again without cultivating their body, their character their mind and their insight will give higher ordination to yet others. And verily thus, 0 monks, owing to the debciency of discipline there is the deficiency of the doctrine (dhamma). This is the first fear, O monks, that has not yet arisen, but will arise in future. This is to be understood by you and having understood it you are to strive for its avoidance. 3. Again, O monks, there will be in future monks who without cultivating their body, their character, their mind and their insight, will give others support. They will not be able to lead the latter to higher character, higher mind and higher insight. And these latter again will give support to yet others. 4. * And verily thus, O monks, owing to the deficiency of righteousness there is the deficiency of discipline and owing to the deficiency of discipline there is the deficiency of the doctrine. This is the second fear, O monks, that has not yet arisen, but will arise in future. This is to be understood by you and having understood it you are to strive for its avoidance. 6 5. And again, O monks, there will be monks in future who without cultivating their body, their character, their mind and their insight, will enter into discussions on philosophical as well as on other matters relating to knowledge. They will fall into a dark state and will not understand them.
ANAGATABHAYA 29 6. 'And verily, v monks, owing to the deficiency of righteousness there is the deficiency of discipline and owing to the deficiency of discipline there is the deficiency of the doctrine. This is the third fear, U monks, that has not yet arisen, but will arise in future. This is to be understood by you, and having understood it you are to strive for its avoidance. 7. . And again, 0 monks , there will be in future monks who will not cultivate their body, their character, their mind and their insight. They will not like to listen to the discourses of the Tathāgata which are profound and deep in meaning and relate to the doctrine of void ; when these discourses will be recited they will not pay heed to them so as to understand them. Nor will they deem anything iri these discourses to be deserving of acceptance with regard to the truth. 8. * But there are sayings of poets, poems with beautiful vowels and consonants (lealing with profane matters and uttered by laymen. When these will be recited, they will like to listen to them and will deem that there is a thing that deserves to be accepted with regard to the truth. And verily, ( monks, owing to the deficiency of the doctrine there is the deficiency of discipline, and owing to the deficiency of discipline there is the deficiency of the doctrine. This is the fourth fear, () monks, that has not yet arisen, but will arise in future. • This is to be understood by you and having understood it you are to strive for ito avoidance. 9. 'And again, O monks, there will be in future monks who will not cultivate their body, their character, their mind and their insight. These elders will become luxurious and lethargic, and they will be the first to go astray and will 6 30 ENGLISH TRANSLATION s shirkers in seclusion. They will put forth no effort for obtaining what is not obtained, for attaining what is not attained, and for realizing what is not realized. Thus verily, O monks, owing to the deficiency of the doctrine there is the deficiency of discipline, and owing to the deficiency of discipline there is the deficiency of the doctrine. This is, 0 monks, the fifth fear that has not yet arisen, but will arise in future. This is to be understood by you and having understood it you are to strive for its avoidance. 10. These are, 0 monks, the five fears. They have not yet arisen, but will arise in future. These are to be understood by you, and having understood them you are to strive for their avoidance. $ IV MUNIGATHA STANZAS ON A SAGE 1. From acquaintance arises fear, from a householder's life arises defilement. One who has no householder's life, nor acquaintance (is a Muni). This is the view of a Muni. 2. Whosoever after having uprooted his passion that has arisen would not allow that which is about to grow, the solitarily wandering, they call a Muni; such a great sage has seen the state of peace. 3. Having considered the objects (of passions) and destroyed (their) origin one should not allow attachment to grow. Indeed he is a Muni who has the end of birth and death. He gives up evil thoughts and cannot be called by a name.
MUNIQATHA 31 4. He who having known all the abodes (i.c., different existences) desires none of them is a Muni, free from coveteousness, free from greediness. He does no longer strive, as he has reached the other shore. 5. The wise know him also to be a Muni who has overcome all, who knows all, who is wise, who is un-attached to all things, who has abandoned every thing and who is liberated owing to the extinction of desire, 6. The wise know him also to be a Muni who has the power of wisdon, who is endowed with virtuous behaviour. who is composed and delights in meditation, whose mind is wakeful and who is free from attachment, mental obstruction and human passions. 7. The wise know him also to be a Muni who wanders solitarily, whose mind is wakeful, who is not shaken by blame and praise, who does tremble like a lion at noises, is not attached (to worldly objects) like the wind to a net and is not soiled like a lotus by water, and who leads others, but is not led by others. 8. The wise know him also to be a Muni who becomes firm as the post in a bathing place, whom others praise to the utmost, who is free from passions and has senses well under his contro). 9. The wise know him also to be a Muni who is self-controlled, straight like a shuttle, and disgusted with evil actions, reflecting on what is just and unjust. 10. The wise know him also to be a Muni, whether young or middle-aged, who is self-restrained, who does not do any evil act, is self-controlled and who cannot be provoked and does not provoke anyone. 11. The wise know him also to be a Muni who lives upon what is given by others, receiving a lump of food from 32 ENGLISH TRANSLATION the top, or from the middle, or from the end of a vessel), and does not praise, nor speak unpleasantly of (the food). 12. The wise know him also to be a Muni who wanders about as a Muni abstaining from sexual intercourse, who is nowhere fettered in his youth, who refrains from pride and carelessness and is liberated. 13. The wise call him a Muni who having known the world has seen the highest truth, who having crossed the stream and the sea (of existence), has become such a person,' and who having cut off all ties is independent and has become free from passions. 14. The two are unequal; the modes of life and occupations are distant (i.e., different). One is a house-holder maintaining a wife and the other is unselfish and virtuous; the house-holder is unrestrained in regard to the destruction of other living creatures; but the Muni always protects living beings being restrained. 15. As a crested bird with the blue neck (i.e., the peacock) never attains the swiftness of the swan, even so a house-holder does not equal a Bhikkhu, a Muni living in seclusion and meditating. V MONEYASOTA THE DISCOURSE ON THE STATE OF A SAINT 1. There are, O monks, three states of a saint (Muni). What are the three? The states of a saint with regard to the body, the speech and the mind. 2. What is, O monks, the state of a saint with regard to the body?
UPATISAPASINA 33 Here, O monks, a monk abstains from taking life, abstains from taking what is not given, and abstains from adultery. This is, () monks, called the state of a saint with regard to the body. 3. What is, () monks, the state of a saint with regard to the speech? Here, () monks, a monk abstains from talking lies, from slander, from harsh speech, and from frivolous and senseless talk. This is, O monks, called the state of a saint with regard to the speech. 4. And what is, O monks, the state of a saint with regard to the mind ? Here, () monks, after the extinction of the passions csavas), a monk lives after having thoroughly known and seen and attained in this very existence the emancipation of insight which is free from the passions. This is, () monks, called the state of the saint with regard to the mind. 5. These are, O monks, the three states of a saint. He is called the all-renouncing saint who is a saint in body, in speech and in mind being possessed of the states of a saint and being free from the passions. VI UPATISAPASINA -80 said 1. Neither has been seen by me before the venerable Sāriputta,-' nor has any one heard of such a teacher who comes from the Tusita heaven, has a host of followers, and speaks so sweetly.' 2. Of the world of gods and men he is truly seen to be endowed with eyes, and it is only he who has attained the bliss (of passionlessness) having dispelled all darkness, 1617 B.
34 ENGLISH TRANSLATION 3. Among many who are here in bondage I have approached as a seeker with a question that Buddha who has come down to this earth, who is free and guileless and has attained ' such state' (i.e., Buddhahood). 4-5. How many are the troubles which should havo no terror for the Bhikkhu who is disgusted with the world and takes his isolated seat in different dwelling places such as the root of a tree or a cemetery or the caves of a mountain? 6. How many are the dangers in the world which the Bhikkhu proceeding towards the immortal direction li.e.. nirvāņa) should overcome (living) in a dwelling place on the out-skirts (of human habitations)? 7. What are his words? What are his spheres? What are the moral practices of this resolute Bhikkhu? 8. What is the teaching having received which he becomnes concentrated, wise and mindful and blows off his own impurity as does a smith that of silver. 9. Said the Blessed One' 0, Sāriputta, I shall tell you, as I understand, what is pleasant for him who is disgusted (with the world) and takes an isolated seat in a dwelling place, wishing perfect enlightenment in accordance with the doctrine (dhamma). 10. Let not a wise and thoughtful Bhikkhu living on the out-skirts (of human habitations) be afraid of the five troubles such as flies and gad-flies, snakes, contact with (evil) men and quadrupeds. While seeking what is good he should not be afraid also of heretics, even having experienced fear and terror from them. He should overcome also other troubles 12. Afficted by sickness and hunger he should endure (them), as well as excessive heat and cold. Variously UPATISAPASINA 35 louched by them he should make a strong exertion being Tree from attachment to be. 13. He should not commit tueri, nor tell a lie; be should touch all beings, muvavie ana uumuvavie, Wald cure. And what he knows w We d suam of us mu ne savunu drive away thinking that it belongs to the back siue qui life). 14. Une should not be overcome by anger and arrogance having dug up their roots completely. He should also surely overcome what is pleasant and what is not pleasant. 15-16. Living on the out-skirts (of human habita." tions) and aiming at wisdom he should take delight in what is good and extirpate those troubles. He should overcome discontent as wel as the fear of worries : What shall I eat? Where shall I eat? Uncomfortably indeed I lay down (last night).' Where shall I lie down this night? One who is still under training and is a homeless wanderer should give up these thoughts. 17. Having had food and clothes in time he shoulck know moderation here for the sake of contentment; being guarded in those things and wandering about restrained in a viliage he should never utter hard words even if he is irritated. 18. He should be with his eyes cast down, self-controlled in his movements, devoted to meditation, very watchful with his mind composed and he should cut off the seat of (the sensual and other) thoughts and misconducts. 19. Being urged on by words (of teachers) he should be pleased with it (urging), break the stubbornness (in his mind) towards his fellow-students and should not pay heed to what the people talk about. 20. And then there in the world there are the five impurities which thoughtful person should learn to a 36 ENGLISH TRANSLATION remove. He should overcome passion for form, sound, taste, smell, and touch. 21. Having removed his attachment to these things and having his mind well-liberated and reflecting rightly ici time upon the nature of a thing (dhammu), and being intent upon one object, a thoughtful Bhikkhu should destroy darkness. --So said the Blessed One. VII LAGHCLOVĀLA THE EXHORTATION TO RAHULA . was 1. Thus I have heard : Once the Blessed One was dwelling in a locality called Kalandaka-nivāpa in Veluvana, near Rājagaha. At that time the venerable Rāhula also dwelling in a place named Ambalaţthikā. 2. Then in the evening after the retirement for meditation the Blessed One went to Ambalaţthikā where the venerable Rāhula was. The venerable Rāhula saw the Blessed One coming from a distance, and having seen (him) offered him a seat and water for (washing his) feet. When the Blessed One took his seat and washed his feet the venerable Rāhula, too, saluted him and took his seat by him. 3. Then the Blessed One having left a small quantity of water in the pot addressed the venerable Rāhula thus : 'Do you not see, Rāhula, this small quantity of water remaining in the pot?' Yes, Sir.' Even so small, 0 Rāhula, is the merit of those Samanas (recluses) who are not ashamed to tell a deliberate lie.' 4. Then having thrown out the small quantity of water left in the pot the Blessed One addressed the venerable Rāhula thus :
LAGHULOVADA 37 6 • Do you not see, Rāhula, the small quantity of water remaining in the pot that has been thrown out?' Yes, Sir.' Thus is thrown up the merit of Samanas who are not ashamed to tell a deliberate lie.' 5. Then having the water-pot turned upside down the Blessed One addressed the venerable Rāhula thus : Do you not see, Rāhula, that this water-pot is turned upside down? 6 Yes, Sir.' Thus is turned upside down the merit of the Samanas who are not ashamed to tell a deliberate lie.' the Blessed 6. Then having turned up the water-pot One said to the venerable Rāhula : Do you not sce, Rāhula, this water-pot is empty and useless? Yes, Sir.' Thus is empty and useless, u Rähula, the merit of the Samanas who are not ashamed to tell a deliberate lie.' 7. 'Just as, 0 Rāhula, the king has a big elephant of noble birth with tusks as long as a plough-pole. His sphere is the battle field. Now when he goes to a battle-field he acts with all his linibs with the exception of his trunk, viz., the front legs, the hind legs, the front body, the hind body, the head, the ears, the tusks and the tail. Here thinks the driver of the animal : This king's elephant in the battlefield acts with all his limbs, viz., the front legs, the hind legs, the front-body, the hind-body, the head, the ears, the tusks, and the tail, but reserves the trunk; and the life of the king's elephant is not given up. When, however, the king's elephant acts with all the limbs including also the trunk, the driver of the animal thinks that the elephant of 38 ENGLISH TRANSLATION the king in the battle-field acts with all the limbs including the trunk, abandoned is thus the life of the king's elephant. Now there is nothing that cannot be done by the elephant.' Thus indeed, 0 Rāhula, I say, there is no evil that cannot be done by the man who is not ashamed to tell a deliberate lie. Therefore, O Rāhula, it is to be learnt that even in fun I shall not tell a lie.” 8. * What do you think, Rāhula, is the object of a looking glass ? It is for looking at it, Sir.' 'Even so, Rāhula, one should do an action with the body having considered it again and again; one should do a work with one's mind having considered it again and again. 9. Whatever action, 0 Rāhula, you want to do with your body is the physical action. It is to be considered : This action which I want to do with my body is physical action. It may be for the evil even of myself, or for the evil even of others, or for the evil even of both. This physical action leads to suffering and results in suffering.' If you, Rāhula, consider and understand “The act which I want to do with my body may be for the evil even of myself, or for the evil even of others, or for the evil even of both, this physical action is wrong, it leads to suffering and results in suffering." This sort of act, Rāhula, is to be avoided as much as possible. 10. “If, however, O Rāhula, you consider and understand: This act which I want to do with my body may not be for the evil even of myself, or for the evil of others or even of both, and this physical act is good leading to happiness and resulting in happiness,' then, Rāhula, this sort of action is to be done by body. 11. 'Now in doing an act with your body you are to consider : “ This act which I am going to do with my body may be for the evil even of myself, for the evil even of LAHULOVADA 39 others, and for the evil even of both. This physical act is bad leading to suffering and resulting in suffering." If, O Rāhula, you think so you should refram from such a physical act. If, however, O Rāhula, you consider and understand This act which I am doing with my body may not be for the evil even of myself, or even of others or even of both. This is a good physical action leading to happiness and resulting in happiness.' You should then undertake such a physical action. 12. Again, () Rāhula, having done a physical action you are to consider : The action which I have done with my body is for the evil even of myself, or even of others, or even of both, this physical action is wrong leading to suffering and resulting in suffering.' And if you, Rāhula, think so, this wrong action is to be confessed and disclosed and divulged to the teacher (i.e., the Teacher par excellence, Buddha), or to the wise, or to fellow students; and having confessed and disclosed and divulged it you should observe restraint in future. Again, should you, Rāhula, understand considering The action which I have done with my body is not for the evil even of myself, or even of others, or even of both, this physical action is good, leading to happiness and resulting in happiness,'' then with the very joy and gladness you may live learning day and night about the things which are right. (Here follow the sermons of the Blessed One to Rāhula on verbal and mental action exactly in the same terms in which the preceding sermon the physical action is couched. Then follows :) Samanas and Brāhmaṇas, O Rāhula, whoever in the past purified their physical, verbal and mental actions all did 30 having thus considered again and again. And Samanas and Brāhmaṇas whoever will purify their physical, verbal and mental actions in the future all will do so having thus considered again and again. And Samanas and Brāhmanas on

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
whoever are now purifying their physical, verbal and mental
actions, all are doing so having thus considered again and
again. Therefore, () Rāhula, we will purify our physical,
verbal and mental actions having thus considered again and
again. This is to be learnt.'
Thus said the Blessed One and the venerable Rāhula
was delighted with the speech.

And the word means nothing but the 'Extract from the Vinaya.' I am going very soon to show it elsewhere in details. On p. xii add be after yet.
