Then a bhikkhu went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:

Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“Sir, they speak of someone who is ‘accomplished regarding the faculties’.

“‘Indriyasampanno, indriyasampanno’ti, bhante, vuccati.

How is someone accomplished regarding the faculties defined?”

Kittāvatā nu kho, bhante, indriyasampanno hotī”ti?

“Bhikkhu, it’s when a bhikkhu develops the faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, samādhi, and wisdom that lead to peace and awakening.

“Idha, bhikkhu, bhikkhu saddhindriyaṁ bhāveti upasamagāmiṁ sambodhagāmiṁ, vīriyindriyaṁ bhāveti upasamagāmiṁ sambodhagāmiṁ, satindriyaṁ bhāveti upasamagāmiṁ sambodhagāmiṁ, samādhindriyaṁ bhāveti upasamagāmiṁ sambodhagāmiṁ, paññindriyaṁ bhāveti upasamagāmiṁ sambodhagāmiṁ.

This is how someone who is accomplished regarding the faculties is defined.”

Ettāvatā kho, bhikkhu, bhikkhu indriyasampanno hotī”ti.
