Yato ca khvāhaṃ, bhikkhave, evaṃ lokassa assādañca assādato ādīnavañca ādīnavato nissaraṇañca nissaraṇato yathābhūtaṃ abbhaññāsiṃ, athāhaṃ, bhikkhave, sadevake loke samārake sabrahmake sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya ‘anuttaraṃ sammāsambodhiṃ abhisambuddho’ti paccaññāsiṃ.	But when I did truly understand the world’s gratification, drawback, and escape in this way for what they are, I announced my supreme perfect awakening in this world with its gods, Māras, and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans.

“bhagavato purato ṭhassāmī”ti osīdatimeva saṃsīdatimeva, na sakkoti saṇṭhātuṃ.	“I will stand before the Buddha,” he sank and melted down, and wasn’t able to stay still.
Seyyathāpi nāma sappi vā telaṃ vā vālukāya āsittaṃ osīdatimeva saṃsīdatimeva, na saṇṭhāti;	It’s like when ghee or oil is poured on sand, it sinks and melts down, and can’t remain stable.

Ekamantaṃ ṭhitaṃ kho hatthakaṃ devaputtaṃ bhagavā etadavoca:	The Buddha said to him:


“Ye te, hatthaka, dhammā pubbe manussabhūtassa pavattino ahesuṃ, api nu te te dhammā etarahi pavattino”ti?	“Hatthaka, I wonder whether you still rehearse now the teachings that you rehearsed when you were a human being?”
“Ye ca me, bhante, dhammā pubbe manussabhūtassa pavattino ahesuṃ, te ca me dhammā etarahi pavattino;	“I still rehearse now the teachings that I rehearsed as a human being.
ye ca me, bhante, dhammā pubbe manussabhūtassa nappavattino ahesuṃ, te ca me dhammā etarahi pavattino.	And I also rehearse teachings that I didn’t rehearse as a human being.
Seyyathāpi, bhante, bhagavā etarahi ākiṇṇo viharati bhikkhūhi bhikkhunīhi upāsakehi upāsikāhi rājūhi rājamahāmattehi titthiyehi titthiyasāvakehi;	Just as the Buddha these days lives crowded by monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen; by rulers and their ministers, and teachers of other paths and their disciples,

Dūratopi, bhante, devaputtā āgacchanti hatthakassa devaputtassa santike ‘dhammaṃ sossāmā’ti.	The gods come from far away, thinking, ‘We’ll hear the teaching in the presence of Hatthaka.’
Tiṇṇāhaṃ, bhante, dhammānaṃ atitto appaṭivāno kālaṅkato.	Sir, I passed away without getting enough of three things.

While the Buddha was walking for alms near the cow-hitching place at the wavy leaf fig, he saw a disgruntled monk who was looking for pleasure in external things, unrememberful, without lucid-discerning or undistractible-lucidity, with straying mind and undisciplined faculties.
Disvā taṃ bhikkhuṃ etadavoca:	The Buddha said to him:


“Mā kho tvaṃ, bhikkhu, attānaṃ kaṭuviyamakāsi.	“Monk, don’t be bitter.
Taṃ vata, bhikkhu, kaṭuviyakataṃ attānaṃ āmagandhena avassutaṃ makkhikā nānupatissanti nānvāssavissantīti, netaṃ ṭhānaṃ vijjatī”ti.	If you’re bitter, corrupted by the stench of rotting flesh, flies will, without a doubt, plague and infest you.”
Atha kho so bhikkhu bhagavatā iminā ovādena ovadito saṃvegamāpādi.	Hearing this advice of the Buddha, that monk came to his senses.
Atha kho bhagavā bārāṇasiyaṃ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto bhikkhū āmantesi:	Then, after the meal, on his return from alms-round, the Buddha told the monks what had happened. …

“kiṃ nu kho, bhante, kaṭuviyaṃ?	“Sir, what is this ‘bitterness’?
Ko āmagandho?	What is the ‘stench of rotting flesh’?
Kā makkhikā”ti?	And what are the ‘flies’?”


“Abhijjhā kho, bhikkhu, kaṭuviyaṃ;	“Desire is bitterness;
byāpādo āmagandho;	ill will is the stench of rotting flesh;
pāpakā akusalā vitakkā makkhikā.	and bad, unskillful thoughts are the flies.
Taṃ vata, bhikkhu, kaṭuviyakataṃ attānaṃ āmagandhena avassutaṃ makkhikā nānupatissanti nānvāssavissantīti, netaṃ ṭhānaṃ vijjatīti.	If you’re bitter, corrupted by the stench of rotting flesh, flies will, without a doubt, plague and infest you.”

indriyesu asaṃvutaṃ;	and you’re not restrained in your sense faculties,
Makkhikānupatissanti,	flies—those lustful thoughts—

Kaṭuviyakato bhikkhu,	A monk who’s bitter,
āmagandhe avassuto;	corrupted by the stench of rotting flesh,
Ārakā hoti nibbānā,	is far from being nirvana'd,
vighātasseva bhāgavā.	frustration is their lot.


Gāme vā yadi vāraññe,	Whether in village or wilderness,
aladdhā samathamattano;	if they don’t find serenity in themselves,
Pareti bālo dummedho,	the fool, void of wisdom,
makkhikāhi purakkhato.	is honored only by flies.


Ye ca sīlena sampannā,	But those who have ethics,
paññāyūpasameratā;	lovers of wisdom and peace,
Upasantā sukhaṃ senti,	they, being peaceful, sleep well,
nāsayitvāna makkhikā”ti.	since they’ve got rid of the flies.”

Katihi nu kho, bhante, dhammehi samannāgato mātugāmo kāyassa bhedā paraṃ maraṇā apāyaṃ duggatiṃ vinipātaṃ nirayaṃ upapajjatī”ti?	How many qualities do females have so that they’re reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell?”

A female lives at home with a heart full of the stain of stinginess in the morning, envy at midday, and sexual desire in the evening.

Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho āyasmā anuruddho āyasmantaṃ sāriputtaṃ etadavoca:	When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side and said to him:
“idhāhaṃ, āvuso sāriputta, dibbena cakkhunā visuddhena atikkantamānusakena sahassaṃ lokaṃ olokemi.	“Here’s the thing, Reverend Sāriputta. With clairvoyance that is purified and surpasses the human, I survey the entire galaxy.

Atha ca pana me nānupādāya āsavehi cittaṃ vimuccatī”ti.	But my mind is not freed from the defilements by not grasping.”


“Yaṃ kho te, āvuso anuruddha, evaṃ hoti:	“Well, Reverend Anuruddha, when you say:
‘ahaṃ dibbena cakkhunā visuddhena atikkantamānusakena sahassaṃ lokaṃ volokemī’ti, idaṃ te mānasmiṃ.	‘With clairvoyance that is purified and surpasses the human, I survey the entire galaxy,’ that’s your conceit.
Yampi te, āvuso anuruddha, evaṃ hoti:	And when you say:

Sādhu vatāyasmā anuruddho ime tayo dhamme pahāya, ime tayo dhamme amanasikaritvā amatāya dhātuyā cittaṃ upasaṃharatū”ti.	It’d be good to give up these three things. Instead of focusing on them, apply your mind to the deathless.”


Atha kho āyasmā anuruddho aparena samayena ime tayo dhamme pahāya, ime tayo dhamme amanasikaritvā amatāya dhātuyā cittaṃ upasaṃhari.	After some time Anuruddha gave up these three things. Instead of focusing on them, he applied his mind to the deathless.
Atha kho āyasmā anuruddho eko vūpakaṭṭho appamatto ātāpī pahitatto viharanto nacirasseva—yassatthāya kulaputtā sammadeva agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajanti, tadanuttaraṃ—brahmacariyapariyosānaṃ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja vihāsi.	Then Anuruddha, living alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute, soon realized the supreme culmination of the spiritual path in this very life. He lived having achieved with his own insight the goal for which people from good families rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness.
“Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā”ti abbhaññāsi.	He understood: “Rebirth is ended; the spiritual journey has been completed; what had to be done has been done; there is no return to any state of existence.”
