Evaṃ me sutaṃ—  ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi—

“bhikkhavo”ti.

“Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. Bhagavā etadavoca—

“Ahaṃ kho, bhikkhave, ekāsanabhojanaṃ bhuñjāmi; ekāsanabhojanaṃ kho, ahaṃ, bhikkhave, bhuñjamāno appābādhatañca sañjānāmi appātaṅkatañca lahuṭṭhānañca balañca phāsuvihārañca. Etha, tumhepi, bhikkhave, ekāsanabhojanaṃ bhuñjatha; ekāsanabhojanaṃ kho, bhikkhave, tumhepi bhuñjamānā appābādhatañca sañjānissatha appātaṅkatañca lahuṭṭhānañca balañca phāsuvihārañcā”ti.

Evaṃ vutte, āyasmā bhaddāli bhagavantaṃ etadavoca—

“ahaṃ kho, bhante, na ussahāmi ekāsanabhojanaṃ bhuñjituṃ; ekāsanabhojanañhi me, bhante, bhuñjato siyā kukkuccaṃ, siyā vippaṭisāro”ti.

“Tena hi tvaṃ, bhaddāli, yattha nimantito assasi tattha ekadesaṃ bhuñjitvā ekadesaṃ nīharitvāpi bhuñjeyyāsi. Evampi kho tvaṃ, bhaddāli, bhuñjamāno ekāsano yāpessasī”ti.

“Evampi kho ahaṃ, bhante, na ussahāmi bhuñjituṃ; evampi hi me, bhante, bhuñjato siyā kukkuccaṃ, siyā vippaṭisāro”ti. Atha kho āyasmā bhaddāli bhagavatā sikkhāpade paññāpiyamāne bhikkhusaṃghe sikkhaṃ samādiyamāne anussāhaṃ pavedesi. Atha kho āyasmā bhaddāli sabbaṃ taṃ temāsaṃ na bhagavato sammukhībhāvaṃ adāsi, yathā taṃ satthusāsane sikkhāya aparipūrakārī.

Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā bhikkhū bhagavato cīvarakammaṃ karonti—  niṭṭhitacīvaro bhagavā temāsaccayena cārikaṃ pakkamissatīti. Atha kho āyasmā bhaddāli yena te bhikkhū tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā tehi bhikkhūhi saddhiṃ sammodi. Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho āyasmantaṃ bhaddāliṃ te bhikkhū etadavocuṃ—

“idaṃ kho, āvuso bhaddāli, bhagavato cīvarakammaṃ karīyati. Niṭṭhitacīvaro bhagavā temāsaccayena cārikaṃ pakkamissati. Iṅghāvuso bhaddāli, etaṃ dosakaṃ sādhukaṃ manasi karohi, mā te pacchā dukkarataraṃ ahosī”ti.

“Evamāvuso”ti kho āyasmā bhaddāli tesaṃ bhikkhūnaṃ paṭissutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho āyasmā bhaddāli bhagavantaṃ etadavoca—

Tassa uttame jave uttame haye uttame sākhalye kāraṇaṃ kāriyamānassa hontiyeva visūkāyitāni visevitāni vipphanditāni kānici kānici, yathā taṃ akāritapubbaṃ kāraṇaṃ kāriyamānassa. So abhiṇhakāraṇā anupubbakāraṇā tasmiṃ ṭhāne parinibbāyati. Yato kho, bhaddāli, bhadro assājānīyo abhiṇhakāraṇā anupubbakāraṇā tasmiṃ ṭhāne parinibbuto hoti, tamenaṃ assadamako uttari vaṇṇiyañca pāṇiyañca anuppavecchati. Imehi kho, bhaddāli, dasahaṅgehi samannāgato bhadro assājānīyo rājāraho hoti rājabhoggo rañño aṅganteva saṅkhyaṃ gacchati.

Evameva kho, bhaddāli, dasahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu āhuneyyo hoti pāhuneyyo dakkhiṇeyyo añjalikaraṇīyo anuttaraṃ puññakkhettaṃ lokassa. Katamehi dasahi? Idha, bhaddāli, bhikkhu asekhāya sammādiṭṭhiyā samannāgato hoti, asekhena sammāsaṅkappena samannāgato hoti, asekhāya sammāvācāya samannāgato hoti, asekhena sammākammantena samannāgato hoti, asekhena sammāājīvena samannāgato hoti, asekhena sammāvāyāmena samannāgato hoti, asekhāya sammāsatiyā samannāgato hoti, asekhena sammāsamādhinā samannāgato hoti, asekhena sammāñāṇena samannāgato hoti, asekhāya sammāvimuttiyā samannāgato hoti—  imehi kho, bhaddāli, dasahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu āhuneyyo hoti pāhuneyyo dakkhiṇeyyo añjalikaraṇīyo anuttaraṃ puññakkhettaṃ lokassā”ti.

Idamavoca bhagavā. Attamano āyasmā bhaddāli bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinandīti.

Bhaddālisuttaṃ niṭṭhitaṃ pañcamaṃ.
