Katamo ca, bhikkhave, puggalo na sevitabbo na bhajitabbo na payi­rupā­si­tabbo? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo hīno hoti sīlena samādhinā paññāya. Evarūpo, bhikkhave, puggalo na sevitabbo na bhajitabbo na payi­rupā­si­tabbo aññatra anuddayā aññatra anukampā.

Katamo ca, bhikkhave, puggalo sevitabbo bhajitabbo payi­rupā­si­tabbo? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo sadiso hoti sīlena samādhinā paññāya. Evarūpo, bhikkhave, puggalo sevitabbo bhajitabbo payi­rupā­si­tabbo. Taṃ kissa hetu? Sīla­sāmañ­ña­gatā­naṃ sataṃ sīlakathā ca no bhavissati, sā ca no pavattinī bhavissati, sā ca no phāsu bhavissati. Samā­dhi­sāmañ­ña­gatā­naṃ sataṃ samādhikathā ca no bhavissati, sā ca no pavattinī bhavissati, sā ca no phāsu bhavissati. Paññā­sāmañ­ña­gatā­naṃ sataṃ paññākathā ca no bhavissati, sā ca no pavattinī bhavissati, sā ca no phāsu bhavissatīti. Tasmā evarūpo puggalo sevitabbo bhajitabbo payi­rupā­si­tabbo.

Katamo ca, bhikkhave, puggalo sakkatvā garuṃ katvā sevitabbo bhajitabbo payi­rupā­si­tabbo? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo adhiko hoti sīlena samādhinā paññāya. Evarūpo, bhikkhave, puggalo sakkatvā garuṃ katvā sevitabbo bhajitabbo payi­rupā­si­tabbo. Taṃ kissa hetu? Iti aparipūraṃ vā sīlakkhandhaṃ paripūressāmi, paripūraṃ vā sīlakkhandhaṃ tattha tattha paññāya anuggahessāmi; aparipūraṃ vā samā­dhik­khan­dhaṃ paripūressāmi, paripūraṃ vā samā­dhik­khan­dhaṃ tattha tattha paññāya anuggahessāmi; aparipūraṃ vā paññākkhandhaṃ paripūressāmi, paripūraṃ vā paññākkhandhaṃ tattha tattha paññāya anugga­hes­sāmīti. Tasmā evarūpo puggalo sakkatvā garuṃ katvā sevitabbo bhajitabbo payi­rupā­si­tabbo. Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo puggalā santo saṃvijjamānā lokasminti.

Nihīyati puriso nihīnasevī,
Na ca hāyetha kadāci tulyasevī;
Seṭṭha­mu­panamaṃ udeti khippaṃ,
Tasmā attano uttariṃ bhajethā”ti.

Chaṭṭhaṃ.
