- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, sentient beings come together and converge because of an element: the faithless with the faithless … shameless … imprudent … lacking immersion … witless …
2The faithful with the faithful … conscientious … prudent... possessing immersion … and the wise with the wise.”
1Sāvatthiyaṁ vihārati.
"Dhātusova, bhikkhave, sattā saṁsandanti samenti. Assaddhā assaddhehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; ahirikā ahirikehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; anottappino anottappīhi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; asamāhitā asamāhitehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; duppaññā duppaññehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti.
2Saddhā saddhehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; hirimanā hirimanehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; ottappino ottappīhi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; samāhitā samāhitehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; paññavanto paññavantehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samentī"ti.
Paṭhamaṁ.
