At Sāvatthī.
Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
Then a bhikkhu went up to the Buddha … and asked him,
Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu …pe… ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
“Sir, may the Buddha please teach me Dhamma in brief. When I’ve heard it, I’ll live alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute.”
“sādhu me, bhante, bhagavā saṅkhittena dhammaṁ desetu …pe… ātāpī pahitatto vihareyyan”ti.
“When you identify, bhikkhu, you’re bound by Māra.
“Maññamāno kho, bhikkhu, baddho mārassa;
Not identifying, you’re free from the Wicked One.”
amaññamāno mutto pāpimato”ti.
“Understood, Blessed One! Understood, Holy One!”
“Aññātaṁ, bhagavā, aññātaṁ, sugatā”ti.
“But how do you see the detailed meaning of my brief statement?”
“Yathā kathaṁ pana tvaṁ, bhikkhu, mayā saṅkhittena bhāsitassa vitthārena atthaṁ ājānāsī”ti?
“Sir, when you identify with form you’re bound by Māra.
“Rūpaṁ kho, bhante, maññamāno baddho mārassa;
Not identifying, you’re free from the Wicked One.
amaññamāno mutto pāpimato.
When you identify with feeling …
Vedanaṁ …
perception …
saññaṁ …
saṅkhāra …
saṅkhāre …
consciousness, you’re bound by Māra.
viññāṇaṁ maññamāno baddho mārassa;
Not identifying, you’re free from the Wicked One.
amaññamāno mutto pāpimato.
That’s how I understand the detailed meaning of the Buddha’s brief statement.”
Imassa khvāhaṁ, bhante, bhagavatā saṅkhittena bhāsitassa evaṁ vitthārena atthaṁ ājānāmī”ti.
“Good, good, bhikkhu!
“Sādhu sādhu, bhikkhu.
It’s good that you understand the detailed meaning of what I’ve said in brief like this.
Sādhu kho tvaṁ, bhikkhu, mayā saṅkhittena bhāsitassa vitthārena atthaṁ ājānāsi.
When you identify with form you’re bound by Māra.
Rūpaṁ kho, bhikkhu, maññamāno baddho mārassa;
Not identifying, you’re free from the Wicked One.
amaññamāno mutto pāpimato.
When you identify with feeling …
Vedanaṁ …
perception …
saññaṁ …
saṅkhāra …
saṅkhāre …
consciousness, you’re bound by Māra.
viññāṇaṁ maññamāno baddho mārassa;
Not identifying, you’re free from the Wicked One.
amaññamāno mutto pāpimato.
This is how to understand the detailed meaning of what I said in brief.” …
Imassa kho, bhikkhu, mayā saṅkhittena bhāsitassa evaṁ vitthārena attho daṭṭhabbo”ti …pe…
And that bhikkhu became one of the perfected.
aññataro ca pana so bhikkhu arahataṁ ahosīti.
