Sobhanasutta

“Cattārome, bhikkhave, viyattā vinītā visāradā bahussutā dhammadharā dhammānudhammappaṭipannā saṅghaṁ sobhenti.

Katame cattāro?

Bhikkhu, bhikkhave, viyatto vinīto visārado bahussuto dhammadharo dhammānudhammappaṭipanno saṅghaṁ sobheti.

Bhikkhunī, bhikkhave, viyattā vinītā visāradā bahussutā dhammadharā dhammānudhammappaṭipannā saṅghaṁ sobheti.

Upāsako, bhikkhave, viyatto vinīto visārado bahussuto dhammadharo dhammānudhammappaṭipanno saṅghaṁ sobheti.

Upāsikā, bhikkhave, viyattā vinītā visāradā bahussutā dhammadharā dhammānudhammappaṭipannā saṅghaṁ sobheti.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro viyattā vinītā visāradā bahussutā dhammadharā dhammānudhammappaṭipannā saṅghaṁ sobhentīti.

Yo hoti viyatto ca visārado ca,

Bahussuto dhammadharo ca hoti;

Dhammassa hoti anudhammacārī,

Sa tādiso vuccati saṅghasobhano.

Bhikkhu ca sīlasampanno,

bhikkhunī ca bahussutā;

Upāsako ca yo saddho,

yā ca saddhā upāsikā;

Ete kho saṅghaṁ sobhenti,

ete hi saṅghasobhanā”ti.

Sattamaṁ.
