[297]

[1][olds] Thus have I heard:

Once the Exalted One was dwelling near Sāvatthī,
at Jeta Grove,
in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.

There the Exalted One addressed the monks, saying:

"Monks."

"Yes, lord," they replied,
and the Exalted One said:

"Monks, save one give up six things,
one cannot realize arahantship.

What six?

Sloth,
torpor,
flurry,
worry,
disbelief
and heedlessness.

Verily, monks, save one give up these six,
one cannot realize arahantship.'

 

§

 

But if one give up six things,
one can realize arahantship.

What six?

Sloth,
torpor,
flurry,
worry,
disbelief
and heedlessness.

Verily, monks, if one give up these six,
one can realize arahantship.'
