Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: 

“‘Sekho, sekho’ti, bhante, vuccati. Kittāvatā nu kho, bhante, sekho hotī”ti? “Sikkhatīti kho, bhikkhu, tasmā sekhoti vuccati. Kiñca sikkhati? Adhisīlampi sikkhati, adhicittampi sikkhati, adhipaññampi sikkhati. Sikkhatīti kho, bhikkhu, tasmā sekhoti vuccatīti.

Sekhassa sikkhamānassa,
uju­mag­gā­nusā­rino;
Khayasmiṃ paṭhamaṃ ñāṇaṃ,
tato aññā anantarā.

Tato aññāvimuttassa,
ñāṇaṃ ve hoti tādino;
Akuppā me vimuttīti,
­bhavasaṃ­yoja­nak­khaye”ti.

Pañcamaṃ. ()
