There Venerable Sāriputta addressed the mendicants: “Reverends, mendicants!” “Reverend,” they replied. Sāriputta said this:
Tatra kho āyasmā sāriputto bhikkhū āmantesi: “āvuso bhikkhave”ti. “Āvuso”ti kho te bhikkhū āyasmato sāriputtassa paccassosuṁ. Āyasmā sāriputto etadavoca:
“A mendicant with five qualities is fit to hold a discussion with their spiritual companions. What five? A mendicant is personally accomplished in ethics, and answers questions that come up when discussing accomplishment in ethics. They’re personally accomplished in immersion, … They’re personally accomplished in wisdom, … They’re personally accomplished in freedom, … They’re personally accomplished in the knowledge and vision of freedom, and they answer questions that come up when discussing accomplishment in the knowledge and vision of freedom. A mendicant with these five qualities is fit to hold a discussion with their spiritual companions.”
“Pañcahāvuso, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu alaṁ sākaccho sabrahmacārīnaṁ. Katamehi pañcahi? Idhāvuso, bhikkhu attanā ca sīlasampanno hoti, sīlasampadākathāya ca āgataṁ pañhaṁ byākattā hoti; attanā ca samādhisampanno hoti, samādhisampadākathāya ca āgataṁ pañhaṁ byākattā hoti; attanā ca paññāsampanno hoti, paññāsampadākathāya ca āgataṁ pañhaṁ byākattā hoti; attanā ca vimuttisampanno hoti, vimuttisampadākathāya ca āgataṁ pañhaṁ byākattā hoti; attanā ca vimuttiñāṇadassanasampanno hoti, vimuttiñāṇadassanasampadākathāya ca āgataṁ pañhaṁ byākattā hoti. Imehi kho, āvuso, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu alaṁ sākaccho sabrahmacārīnan”ti. Tatiyaṁ.
