8.12 Suhadamitta

“Cattārome, gahapatiputta, mittā suhadā veditabbā. Upakāro mitto suhado veditabbo, samānasukhadukkho mitto suhado veditabbo, atthakkhāyī mitto suhado veditabbo, anukampako mitto suhado veditabbo.

Catūhi kho, gahapatiputta, ṭhānehi upakāro mitto suhado veditabbo. Pamattaṃ rakkhati, pamattassa sāpateyyaṃ rakkhati, bhītassa saraṇaṃ hoti, uppannesu kiccakaraṇīyesu taddiguṇaṃ bhogaṃ anuppadeti. Imehi kho, gahapatiputta, catūhi ṭhānehi upakāro mitto suhado veditabbo.

Catūhi kho, gahapatiputta, ṭhānehi samānasukhadukkho mitto suhado veditabbo. Guyhamassa ācikkhati, guyhamassa parigūhati, āpadāsu na vijahati, jīvitaṃpissa atthāya pariccattaṃ hoti. Imehi kho, gahapatiputta, catūhi ṭhānehi samānasukhadukkho mitto suhado veditabbo.

Catūhi kho, gahapatiputta, ṭhānehi atthakkhāyī mitto suhado veditabbo. Pāpā nivāreti, kalyāṇe niveseti, assutaṃ sāveti, saggassa maggaṃ ācikkhati. Imehi kho, gahapatiputta, catūhi ṭhānehi atthakkhāyī mitto suhado veditabbo.

Catūhi kho, gahapatiputta, ṭhānehi anukampako mitto suhado veditabbo. Abhavenassa na nandati, bhavenassa nandati, avaṇṇaṃ bhaṇamānaṃ nivāreti, vaṇṇaṃ bhaṇamānaṃ pasaṃsati. Imehi kho, gahapatiputta, catūhi ṭhānehi anukampako mitto suhado veditabbo”ti.

Idamavoca bhagavā. Idaṃ vatvāna sugato athāparaṃ etadavoca satthā—

“Upakāro ca yo mitto,
sukhe dukkhe ca yo sakhā;
Atthakkhāyī ca yo mitto,
yo ca mittānukampako.

Etepi mitte cattāro,
iti viññāya paṇḍito;
Sakkaccaṃ payirupāseyya,
mātā puttaṃva orasaṃ;
Paṇḍito sīlasampanno,
jalaṃ aggīva bhāsati.

Bhoge saṃharamānassa,
bhamarasseva irīyato;
Bhogā sannicayaṃ yanti,
vammikovupacīyati.

Evaṃ bhoge samāhatvā,
alamatto kule gihī;
Catudhā vibhaje bhoge,
sa ve mittāni ganthati.

Ekena bhoge bhuñjeyya,
dvīhi kammaṃ payojaye;
Catutthañca nidhāpeyya,
āpadāsu bhavissatī”ti.
