In the Land of the Mallas Mallikasutta
So I have heard. Evaį¹ me sutaį¹āAt one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Mallas, near the Mallian town named Uruvelakappa. ekaį¹ samayaį¹ bhagavÄ mallesu viharati uruvelakappaį¹ nÄma mallÄnaį¹ nigamo. There the Buddha addressed the mendicants: Tatra kho bhagavÄ bhikkhÅ« Ämantesi:
āMendicants, as long as noble knowledge hasnāt arisen for a noble disciple the four faculties are not stable and fixed. āyÄvakÄ«vaƱca, bhikkhave, ariyasÄvakassa ariyaƱÄį¹aį¹ na uppannaį¹ hoti neva tÄva catunnaį¹ indriyÄnaį¹ saį¹į¹hiti hoti, neva tÄva catunnaį¹ indriyÄnaį¹ avaį¹į¹hiti hoti. But when noble knowledge has arisen for a noble disciple the four faculties become stable and fixed. Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, ariyasÄvakassa ariyaƱÄį¹aį¹ uppannaį¹ hoti, atha catunnaį¹ indriyÄnaį¹ saį¹į¹hiti hoti, atha catunnaį¹ indriyÄnaį¹ avaį¹į¹hiti hoti.
Itās just like in a bungalow. As long as the roof peak is not lifted into place, the rafters are not stable or fixed. SeyyathÄpi, bhikkhave, yÄvakÄ«vaƱca kÅ«į¹ÄgÄrassa kÅ«į¹aį¹ na ussitaį¹ hoti, neva tÄva gopÄnasÄ«naį¹ saį¹į¹hiti hoti, neva tÄva gopÄnasÄ«naį¹ avaį¹į¹hiti hoti. But when the roof peak is lifted into place, the rafters become stable and fixed. Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, kÅ«į¹ÄgÄrassa kÅ«į¹aį¹ ussitaį¹ hoti, atha gopÄnasÄ«naį¹ saį¹į¹hiti hoti, atha gopÄnasÄ«naį¹ avaį¹į¹hiti hoti.
In the same way, as long as noble knowledge hasnāt arisen for a noble disciple the four faculties are not stable and fixed. Evameva kho, bhikkhave, yÄvakÄ«vaƱca ariyasÄvakassa ariyaƱÄį¹aį¹ na uppannaį¹ hoti, neva tÄva catunnaį¹ indriyÄnaį¹ saį¹į¹hiti hoti, neva tÄva catunnaį¹ indriyÄnaį¹ avaį¹į¹hiti hoti. But when noble knowledge has arisen for a noble disciple the four faculties become stable and fixed. Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, ariyasÄvakassa ariyaƱÄį¹aį¹ uppannaį¹ hoti, atha catunnaį¹ indriyÄnaį¹ ā¦peā¦ avaį¹į¹hiti hoti.
What four? Katamesaį¹ catunnaį¹? The faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, and immersion. Saddhindriyassa, vÄ«riyindriyassa, satindriyassa, samÄdhindriyassa. When a noble disciple has wisdom, the faith, energy, mindfulness, and immersion that follow along with that become stabilized.ā PaƱƱavato, bhikkhave, ariyasÄvakassa tadanvayÄ saddhÄ saį¹į¹hÄti, tadanvayaį¹ vÄ«riyaį¹ saį¹į¹hÄti, tadanvayÄ sati saį¹į¹hÄti, tadanvayo samÄdhi saį¹į¹hÄtÄ«āti.
