You lack confidence in some things you have learned. You contract a severe illness. You don’t have any friends. These are the five drawbacks for someone who likes long and aimless wandering.

2There are these five benefits of a reasonable amount of wandering. What five? You learn new things. You clarify what you’ve learned. You have confidence in some things you have learned. You don’t contract severe illness. You have friends. These are the five benefits of a reasonable amount of wandering.”

1"Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā dīghacārikaṁ anavatthacārikaṁ anuyuttassa viharato. Katame pañca? Assutaṁ na suṇāti, sutaṁ na pariyodāpeti, sutenekaccena avisārado hoti, gāḷhaṁ rogātaṅkaṁ phusati, na ca mittavā hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā dīghacārikaṁ anavatthacārikaṁ anuyuttassa viharato.

2Pañcime, bhikkhave, ānisaṁsā samavatthacāre. Katame pañca? Assutaṁ suṇāti, sutaṁ pariyodāpeti, sutenekaccena visārado hoti, na gāḷhaṁ rogātaṅkaṁ phusati, mittavā ca hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ānisaṁsā samavatthacāre"ti.

Paṭhamaṁ.
