5: The Book of the Fives

XXI. With Kimbila — AN 5.210: Unmindful

1“Mendicants, there are these five drawbacks of falling asleep unmindful and unaware. What five? You sleep badly and wake miserably. You have bad dreams. The deities don’t protect you. And you emit semen. These are the five drawbacks of falling asleep unmindful and unaware.

2There are these five benefits of falling asleep mindful and aware. What five? You sleep well and wake happily. You don’t have bad dreams. The deities protect you. And you don’t emit semen. These are the five benefits of falling asleep mindful and aware.”

1"Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā muṭṭhassatissa asampajānassa niddaṁ okkamayato. Katame pañca? Dukkhaṁ supati, dukkhaṁ paṭibujjhati, pāpakaṁ supinaṁ passati, devatā na rakkhanti, asuci muccati. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā muṭṭhassatissa asampajānassa niddaṁ okkamayato.

2Pañcime, bhikkhave, ānisaṁsā upaṭṭhitassatissa sampajānassa niddaṁ okkamayato. Katame pañca? Sukhaṁ supati, sukhaṁ paṭibujjhati, na pāpakaṁ supinaṁ passati, devatā rakkhanti, asuci na muccati. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ānisaṁsā upaṭṭhitassatissa sampajānassa niddaṁ okkamayato"ti.

Dasamaṁ.

Kimilavaggo paṭhamo.

3Kimilo dhammassavanaṁ,
ājānīyo balaṁ khilaṁ;
Vinibandhaṁ yāgu kaṭṭhaṁ,
gītaṁ muṭṭhassatinā cāti.
