1At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, sentient beings come together and converge because of an element: the lazy with the lazy … unmindful … witless … energetic... mindful... wise...”

(All these should be treated in terms of the past, future, and present.)

1Sāvatthiyaṁ vihārati.

"Dhātusova, bhikkhave, sattā saṁsandanti samenti. Kusītā kusītehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; muṭṭhassatino muṭṭhassatīhi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; duppaññā duppaññehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; āraddhavīriyā āraddhavīriyehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; upaṭṭhitassatino upaṭṭhitassatīhi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; paññavanto paññavantehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samentī"ti … pe … .

Dvādasamaṁ.

(Sabbattha atītānāgatapaccuppannaṁ kātabbaṁ.)

Dutiyo vaggo.

2Sattimā sanidānañca,
giñjakāvasathena ca;
Hīnādhimutti caṅkamaṁ,
sagāthā assaddhasattamaṁ.

3Assaddhamūlakā pañca,
Cattāro ahirikamūlakā;
Anottappamūlakā tīṇi,
Duve appassutena ca.

4Kusītaṁ ekakaṁ vuttaṁ,
Suttantā tīṇi pañcakā;
Bāvīsati vuttā suttā,
Dutiyo vaggo pavuccatīti.
