7.2.12 Khomadussasutta

Evaṃ me sutaṃ—  ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sakkesu viharati khomadussaṃ nāmaṃ sakyānaṃ nigamo. Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya khomadussaṃ nigamaṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. Tena kho pana samayena khomadussakā brāhmaṇagahapatikā sabhāyaṃ sannipatitā honti kenacideva karaṇīyena, devo ca ekamekaṃ phusāyati. Atha kho bhagavā yena sā sabhā tenupasaṅkami. Addasaṃsu khomadussakā brāhmaṇagahapatikā bhagavantaṃ dūratova āgacchantaṃ. Disvāna etadavocuṃ—

“ke ca muṇḍakā samaṇakā, ke ca sabhādhammaṃ jānissantī”ti? Atha kho bhagavā khomadussake brāhmaṇagahapatike gāthāya ajjhabhāsi—

“Nesā sabhā yattha na santi santo,
Santo na te ye na vadanti dhammaṃ;
Rāgañca dosañca pahāya mohaṃ,
Dhammaṃ vadantā ca bhavanti santo”ti.

Evaṃ vutte, khomadussakā brāhmaṇagahapatikā bhagavantaṃ etadavocuṃ—

“abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama, abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama. Seyyathāpi, bho gotama, nikkujjitaṃ vā ukkujjeyya, paṭicchannaṃ vā vivareyya, mūḷhassa vā maggaṃ ācikkheyya, andhakāre vā telapajjotaṃ dhāreyya—  ‘cakkhumanto rūpāni dakkhantī’ti; evamevaṃ bhotā gotamena anekapariyāyena dhammo pakāsito. Ete mayaṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ saraṇaṃ gacchāma dhammañca bhikkhusaṃghañca. Upāsake no bhavaṃ gotamo dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupete saraṇaṃ gate”ti.

Upāsakavaggo dutiyo.

Tassuddānaṃ

Kasi udayo devahito,
Aññataramahāsālaṃ;
Mānatthaddhaṃ paccanīkaṃ,
Navakammi kaṭṭhahāraṃ;
Mātuposakaṃ bhikkhako,
Saṅgāravo ca khomadussena dvādasāti.

Brāhmaṇasaṃyuttaṃ samattaṃ.
