Siṅgālasutta

Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.

“Assuttha no tumhe, bhikkhave, rattiyā paccūsasamayaṁ jarasiṅgālassa vassamānassā”ti?

“Evaṁ, bhante”.

“Eso kho, bhikkhave, jarasiṅgālo ukkaṇḍakena nāma rogajātena phuṭṭho.

So yena yena icchati tena tena gacchati;

yattha yattha icchati tattha tattha tiṭṭhati;

yattha yattha icchati tattha tattha nisīdati;

yattha yattha icchati tattha tattha nipajjati;

sītakopi naṁ vāto upavāyati.

Sādhu khvassa, bhikkhave, yaṁ idhekacco sakyaputtiyapaṭiñño evarūpampi attabhāvapaṭilābhaṁ paṭisaṁvediyetha.

Evañhi vo, bhikkhave, sikkhitabban”ti.

Ekādasamaṁ.
