Paṭhama Tassa (aka Suta) Suttaṃ

Adapted from the 1995 edition of the digital version of the Sri Lanka Buddha Jayanti Tripitaka Series.

[1][pts] Evaṃ me sutaṃ:|| ||

Ekaṃ samayaṃ Bhagavā Sāvatthiyaṃ viharati Jetavane Anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.|| ||

Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena Bhagavā ten'upasaṇkami.|| ||

Upasaṃkamitvā Bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā eka-m-antaṃ nisīdi.|| ||

Eka-m-antaṃ nisinno kho so bhikkhu Bhagavantaṃ etad avoca:|| ||

"Ko nu kho bhante, hetu,||
ko paccayo||
yena-m-idh'ekacco kāyassa bhedā param maraṇā aṇḍa-jānaṃ nāgānaṃ saha-vyataṃ upapajjatī" ti?|| ||

"Idha bhikkhu ekacco kāyena dvaya-kārī hoti||
vācāya dvaya-kāri||
manasā dvaya-kāri,||
tassa sutaṃ hoti:|| ||

'Aṇḍa-jā nāgā dīghā-yukā vaṇṇa-vanto sukha-bahulā.' ti.|| ||

Tassa evaṃ hoti:|| ||

'Aho vatāhaṃ kāyassa bhedā param maraṇā aṇḍa-jānaṃ nāgānaṃ saha-vyataṃ upapa-j-jeyyan' ti.|| ||

So kāyassa bhedā param maraṇā aṇḍa-jānaṃ nāgānaṃ saha-vyataṃ uppajjati.|| ||

Ayaṃ kho bhikkhu hetu||
ayaṃ paccayo||
yena-m-idh'ekacco kāyassa bhedā param maraṇā aṇḍa-jānaṃ nāgānaṃ saha-vyataṃ upapajjatī" ti.|| ||
