Evaṃ me sutaṃ—​   ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā vesāliyaṃ viharati mahāvane kūṭā­gāra­sālāyaṃ. Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: “bhikkhavo”ti. “Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. Bhagavā etadavoca:

“Kaliṅ­ga­rūpa­dhānā, bhikkhave, etarahi licchavī viharanti appamattā ātāpino upāsanasmiṃ. Tesaṃ rājā māgadho ajātasattu vedehiputto na labhati otāraṃ na labhati ārammaṇaṃ. Bhavissanti, bhikkhave, anāga­ta­maddhā­naṃ licchavī sukhumālā muduta­luna­hattha­pādā te mudukāsu seyyāsu tūla­bibbo­hanāsu yāva­sūri­yugga­manā seyyaṃ kappissanti. Tesaṃ rājā māgadho ajātasattu vedehiputto lacchati otāraṃ lacchati ārammaṇaṃ.

Kaliṅ­ga­rūpa­dhānā, bhikkhave, etarahi bhikkhū viharanti appamattā ātāpino padhānasmiṃ. Tesaṃ māro pāpimā na labhati otāraṃ na labhati ārammaṇaṃ. Bhavissanti, bhikkhave, anāga­ta­maddhā­naṃ bhikkhū sukhumā muduta­luna­hattha­pādā. Te mudukāsu seyyāsu tūla­bibbo­hanāsu yāva­sūri­yugga­manā seyyaṃ kappissanti. Tesaṃ māro pāpimā lacchati otāraṃ lacchati ārammaṇaṃ. Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, evaṃ sikkhitabbaṃ: ‘kaliṅ­ga­rūpa­dhānā viharissāma appamattā ātāpino padhānasmin’ti. Evañhi vo, bhikkhave, sikkhitabban”ti.

Aṭṭhamaṃ.
