1"Tīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. Katamehi tīhi? Akusalena kāyakammena, akusalena vacīkammena, akusalena manokammena – 

imehi kho, bhikkhave, tīhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.

2Tīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge. Katamehi tīhi? Kusalena kāyakammena, kusalena vacīkammena, kusalena manokammena – 

imehi kho, bhikkhave, tīhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge"ti.

Paṭhamaṁ.
