The Great Chapter - 22 sattāhaṁ ekapallaṅkena nisīdi vimuttisukhapaṭisaṁvedī. he sat in one cross-legged posture for seven days experiencing the happiness of liberation. 37 Atha kho aññataro huhuṅkajātiko brāhmaṇo Then a certain brāhmaṇa who was a grumbler by nature 38 yena Bhagavā tenupasaṅkami, approached the Gracious One, upasaṅkamitvā Bhagavatā saddhiṁ sammodi, and after approaching he exchanged greetings with the Gracious One, sammodanīyaṁ kathaṁ sārāṇīyaṁ vītisāretvā ekam-antaṁ aṭṭhāsi. and after exchanging courteous talk 39 and greetings, he stood on one side. Ekam-antaṁ ṭhito kho so brāhmaṇo Bhagavantaṁ etad-avoca: While standing on one side that brāhmaṇa said this to the Gracious One: “Kittāvatā nu kho bho Gotama brāhmaṇo hoti “To what extent, dear Gotama, is one a brāhmaṇa Katame ca pana brāhmaṇakaraṇā dhammā” ti And again what things make one a brāhmaṇa” Atha kho Bhagavā, etam-atthaṁ viditvā, Then the Gracious One, having understood the significance of it, tāyaṁ velāyaṁ imaṁ udānaṁ udānesi: on that occasion uttered this exalted utterance: “Yo brāhmaṇo bāhitapāpadhammo, “That brāhmaṇa who has barred wickedness, 40 37 Jā Nid states that it is now five weeks since the Awakening, the first week having been spent in blissful contemplation, the second worshipping the Bodhi Tree, the third walking in the jewelled walkway, and the fourth reflecting on the Abhidhamma collection; exactly where the first section recorded above fits in is not clear, unless it is taken as the conclusion of the last section. 38 Described by the commentary as being a diṭṭhamaṅgala, one who believes that luck arises through what is seen, like seeing a lucky black cat in the morning, and says that he was a grumbler through conceit and through anger. 39 ChS adds: huhuṅkajātiko ti vuccati, huhuṅkajātiko ti pi paṭhantī ti tabbaṇṇanā; he spoke grumblingly, and he spoke in praise of speaking grumblingly, but this is unknown to the other texts. 40 There is a pun on bāhita (barred) and brāhmaṇa, which is nearly lost in Pāḷi owing to the reintroduction of the -r- element. In the original language it must have been *bāhmaṇa, or something very similar, where the pun would have been more obvious.
I. The First Teachings - 23 Nihuhuṅkako nikkasāvo yatatto, Not grumbling, free from blemish, self-restrained, Vedantagū vusitabrahmacar i yo, With perfect understanding, (and) the spiritual life accomplished, Dhammena so Brahmavādaṁ vadeyya, Righteously he might speak a word about the Brahman, 41 Yassussadā natthi kuhiñci loke” ti. For him there is no arrogance 42 anywhere in the world.” 43 Ajapālakathā Niṭṭhitā The Story about the Goatherd’s (Tree) is finished Mucalindakathā 3: The Story about the Mucalinda (Tree) 44 Atha kho Bhagavā sattāhassa accayena, Then with the passing of seven days, the Gracious One, 45 tamhā samādhimhā vuṭṭhahitvā, after arising from that concentration, Ajapālanigrodhamūlā yena Mucalindo tenupasaṅkami, approached the Mucalinda (tree) from the root of the Goatherd’s Banyan (tree), upasaṅkamitvā Mucalindamūle o and after approaching the root of the Mucalinda (tree) 46 41 Comm: “brāhmaṇo, ahan”-ti etaṁ vādaṁ dhammena vadeyya; he might righteously speak this word, saying “I am a brāhmaṇa.” This may be the meaning, but it is not what it says, as Brahma- cannot be equal to brāhmaṇa-. 42 Comm: rāgussado dosussado mohussado mānussado diṭṭhussado ti ime ussadā natthi; there is no arrogance like the arrogance owing to passion, hatred, delusion, conceit or views. 43 This verse differs somewhat from the parallel verse in Mahāvastu, see Uruvilvā to Ṛṣipatana elsewhere on this website. 44 This section is parallel to Mucalindasuttaṁ Udāna 2.1. 45 The opening to this discourse is dissimilar to the Udāna, but similar to the opening passages in the first three discourses of the Udāna. 46 Scientific name: Barringtonia acutangula; according to the commentary the Mucalinda tree was east of the Bodhi tree.
