17. pavattite ca pana bhagavat dhammacakke, bhumm dev saddam anussvesu

17. And when the Lord set in motion the Wheel of Dhamma, the earthly devas proclaimed these
words,
eta bhagavat brasiya isipatane migadye anuttara dhammacakka pavattita,
appaivattiya samaena v brhmaena v devena v mrena v brahmun v kenaci v
lokasminti.
This unexcelled Wheel of Dhamma was set in motion by the Lord in Bras, at the deer park
in Isipatana, which is not to be stopped by any recluse, brahmin, deva, Mra, or Brahma, in the
world.
bhummna devna sadda sutv ctumahrjik dev saddamanussvesu ... pe ...
ctumahrjikna devna sadda sutv tvatis dev ... pe ... ym dev ... pe ... tusit dev ...
pe ... nimmnarat dev ... pe ... paranimmitavasavatt dev ... pe ... brahmakyik dev
saddamanussvesu
Having heard the words of the earthly devas, the Four Great Deva Kings proclaimed these words,
etc., and having heard the words of the Four Great Deva Kings, the devas of Tvatisa, etc., the
Yma devas, etc., the Tusita devas, etc., the devas who delight in their own creations, etc., the
devas who delight in the creations of others, etc., and the devas of the company of Brahma
proclaimed these words,
eta bhagavat brasiya isipatane migadye anuttara dhammacakka pavattita
appaivattiya samaena v brhmaena v devena v mrena v brahmun v kenaci v
lokasminti.
This unexcelled Wheel of Dhamma was set in motion by the Lord in Bras, at the deer park
in Isipatana, which is not to be stopped by any recluse, brahmin, deva, Mra, or Brahma, in the
world.
itiha, tena khaena, tena layena tena muhuttena yva brahmalok saddo abbhuggacchi.
Thereupon, at that instant, at that moment, at that second, the sound went forth from the Brahma
World.
ayaca dasasahassilokadhtu sakampi sampakampi sampavedhi; appamo ca uro obhso loke
pturahosi, atikkamma devna devnubhva.
And this ten thousand-fold world system trembled, shook, and quaked; and boundless lofty light
appeared in the world, surpassing the heavenly splendour of the devas.
atha kho bhagav ima udna udnesi
Thereupon, the Lord uttered this utterance,
asi vata, bho koao, asi vata bho koaoti.
You verily know, O Koaa, you verily know, O Koaa.
iti hida yasmato koaassa asikoao tveva nma ahosi.
Therefore, the Venerable Koaa is known as Koaa the Knowing, Asikoaa.

18. atha kho yasm asikoao dihadhammo pattadhammo viditadhammo

pariyoghadhammo tiavicikiccho vigatakathakatho vesrajjappatto aparappaccayo

18. Thereupon, Asikoaa, who had seen the Dhamma, reached the Dhamma, known the
Dhamma, penetrated into the Dhamma, surpassed doubt, departed from uncertainty, reached
confidence, not dependent upon others in regards to the doctrine of the teacher, said this to the
Lord,

labheyyha, bhante, bhagavato santike pabbajja, labheyya upasampadanti.

I would obtain, sir, the going forth in the presence of the Lord, I would obtain the higher
ordination.
ehi bhikkhti bhagav avoca svkkhto dhammo, cara brahmacariya samm dukkhassa
antakiriyyti. sva tassa yasmato upasampad ahosi.
Come, monk, said the Lord, The Dhamma is well preached, practicing noble conduct, suffering
is rightly ended. The higher ordination of the venerable one was declared.

19. atha kho bhagav tadavasese bhikkh dhammiy kathya ovadi anussi. atha kho yasmato

19. Thereupon, the Lord admonished the remaining monks, teaching with a discourse on the
Dhamma. And thereon, the Venerables Vappa and Bhaddiya, being admonished and taught with
a discourse on the Dhamma by the Lord, gave rise to the stainless and spotless eye of the Dhamma:
that whatever phenomena arise, all those phenomena are subject to cessation.

te dihadhamm pattadhamm viditadhamm pariyoghadhamm tiavicikicch

vigatakathakath vesrajjappatt aparappaccay satthussane bhagavanta etadavocu
They, who had seen the Dhamma, reached the Dhamma, known the Dhamma, penetrated into the
Dhamma, surpassed doubt, departed from uncertainty, reached confidence, not dependent upon
others in regards to the doctrine of the teacher, said this to the Lord,
labheyyma maya, bhante, bhagavato santike pabbajja, labheyyma upasampadanti.
We would obtain, sir, the going forth in the presence of the Lord, we would obtain the higher
ordination.
etha bhikkhavoti bhagav avoca svkkhto dhammo, caratha brahmacariya samm
dukkhassa antakiriyyti. sva tesa yasmantna upasampad ahosi.
Come, monks, said the Lord, The Dhamma is well preached, practicing noble conduct,
suffering is rightly ended. The higher ordination of the venerable ones was declared.

atha kho bhagav tadavasese bhikkh nhrabhatto dhammiy kathya ovadi anussi.
Thereupon, the remaining monks, who carried alms, were admonished and instructed with a
discourse on the Dhamma.
ya tayo bhikkh piya caritv haranti, tena chabbaggo ypeti.
Those three monks, having wandered for and collecting alms, nourished the six.
atha kho yasmato ca mahnmassa yasmato ca assajissa bhagavat dhammiy kathya
ovadiyamnna anussiyamnna viraja vtamala dhammacakkhu udapdi ya kici
samudayadhamma, sabba ta nirodhadhammanti.
Thereupon, the Venerable Mahnma and the Venerable Assaji, being admonished and taught
with a discourse on the Dhamma by the Lord, gave rise to the stainless and spotless eye of the
Dhamma: that whatever phenomena arise, all those phenomena are subject to cessation.
te dihadhamm pattadhamm viditadhamm pariyoghadhamm tiavicikicch

They, who had seen the Dhamma, reached the Dhamma, known the Dhamma, penetrated into the
Dhamma, surpassed doubt, departed from uncertainty, reached confidence, not dependent upon
others in regards to the doctrine of the teacher, said this to the Lord,
labheyyma maya, bhante, bhagavato santike pabbajja, labheyyma upasampadanti.
We would obtain, sir, the going forth in the presence of the Lord, we would obtain the higher
ordination.
etha bhikkhavoti bhagav avoca svkkhto dhammo, caratha brahmacariya samm
dukkhassa antakiriyyti. sva tesa yasmantna upasampad ahosi.
Come, monks, said the Lord, The Dhamma is well preached, practicing noble conduct,
suffering is rightly ended. The higher ordination of the venerable ones was declared.
