Pali - Every few days - [B049]
Gair/Karunatillake - Chapter 4 � Readings
Ex. 1. (Part 5 of 5)
Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattaaro sama.nabraahma.naana.m
upakkilesaa, yehi upakkilesehi upakkili.t.thaa eke
sama.nabraahma.naa na tapanti, na bhaasanti, na
virocantiiti.
Indeed these, monks, are the four defilements of
Brahmins and recluses, tainted with which, some
Brahmins and recluses do not shine, are not lustrous,
and are dim.
Sura.m pivanti meraya.m
pa.tisevanti methuna.m
Rajata.m jaataruupa.m ca
saadiyanti aviddasu
Micchaajiivena jiivanti
eke sama.nabraahma.naa.
Some Brahmins and recluses drink wine and liquor,
Indulge in sexual intercourse,
Ignorantly appropriate gold and silver,
And live by wrong livelihood.
(A.N. 4.5.10. [4.50] Rohitassavaggo,
Upakkilesasutta.m)
Metta,
John
