SN 1.7 Not Comprehending – Appaṭividitasutta

 

At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Standing to one side, that deity recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho sā devatā bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:

“Those who don’t comprehend the teachings,

“Yesaṁ dhammā appaṭividitā,

who may be led astray by the doctrines of others;

Paravādesu nīyare;

asleep, they have not woken up:

Suttā te nappabujjhanti,

it is time for them to wake!”

Kālo tesaṁ pabujjhitun”ti.

“Those who clearly comprehend the teachings,

“Yesaṁ dhammā suppaṭividitā,

who won’t be led astray by the doctrines of others;

Paravādesu na nīyare;

they’ve woken up, they rightly know,

Te sambuddhā sammadaññā,

they live smoothly in the rough.”

Caranti visame saman”ti.
