如是我闻。一时，世尊在鸯伽国游行，与大比库僧团——约五百位比库同行，到达瞻波城。在那里，世尊住在瞻波城嘎嘎拉莲花池畔。当时，苏那旦多婆罗门居住在人众稠密、草木水源丰富、谷物充足的瞻波城，这是马嘎达国的色尼亚·宾比萨拉王所赐的王领地、梵授地。

瞻波城的婆罗门居士们听闻：「实在啊，诸贤，释迦族之子沙门果德玛从释迦族出家，在鸯伽国游行，与大比库僧团——约五百位比库同行，到达了瞻波城，住在瞻波城嘎嘎拉莲花池畔。关于那位尊者果德玛，如此美好的声誉传扬开来：『他确实是世尊、阿拉汉、正等觉者、明行具足、善逝、世间解、无上调御丈夫、天人师、佛陀、世尊。』他以自己的智证，宣说包括天、魔、梵的世界，包括沙门、婆罗门、天人的众生。他说法初善、中善、后善，有义有文，宣示圆满清净的梵行。善哉，得见如此阿拉汉！」于是瞻波城的婆罗门居士们从瞻波城出来，成群结队地前往嘎嘎拉莲花池。

当时，苏那旦多婆罗门正在高楼上午休。苏那旦多婆罗门看见瞻波城的婆罗门居士们从瞻波城出来，成群结队地前往嘎嘎拉莲花池。见后，他问侍者：「侍者，为什么瞻波城的婆罗门居士们从瞻波城出来，成群结队地前往嘎嘎拉莲花池呢？」「尊者，有释迦族之子沙门果德玛从释迦族出家，在鸯伽国游行，与大比库僧团——约五百位比库同行，到达了瞻波城，住在瞻波城嘎嘎拉莲花池畔。关于那位尊者果德玛，如此美好的声誉传扬开来：『他确实是世尊、阿拉汉、正等觉者、明行具足、善逝、世间解、无上调御丈夫、天人师、佛陀、世尊。』他们就是为了见他而去。」「那么，侍者，你去告诉那些瞻波城的婆罗门居士们：『苏那旦多婆罗门说：「请诸位稍等。苏那旦多婆罗门也要去拜见沙门果德玛。」』」

于是世尊以心了知苏那旦多婆罗门心中的思虑后，心中想：「这位苏那旦多婆罗门被自己的心所困扰。不如我就苏那旦多婆罗门自己所擅长的三明经典来提问吧。」于是世尊对苏那旦多婆罗门说：「婆罗门，婆罗门们认定一个人为婆罗门需要具备几个条件，才能说『我是婆罗门』而正确地说，且不犯妄语呢？」
§307

于是苏那旦多婆罗门心想：「正是我们所期望的、所渴望的、所希求的、所盼望的——『啊，愿沙门果德玛就我所擅长的三明经典来提问，我定能以回答令他满意。』——沙门果德玛正就我所擅长的三明经典来提问。我一定能以回答令他满意。」

于是苏那旦多婆罗门挺起身子，环顾众人后，对世尊说：「尊者果德玛，婆罗门们认定一个人为婆罗门需要具备五个条件，才能说『我是婆罗门』而正确地说，且不犯妄语。哪五个呢？尊者果德玛，在此，婆罗门父母双方善生、血统纯正、七代以来出身无瑕、无可指责的；是诵经者、持咒者，通达三吠陀以及词汇释义、仪轨、语音分析和古传说为第五的经典，精通句法和文法，通晓顺世论和大人相；容貌端正、令人喜悦、令人欢喜，具足最上的肤色之美，梵色梵容，仪表堂堂，非凡相貌；持戒、戒增上、具足增上戒；聪明有慧，是执勺者中第一或第二位。尊者果德玛，具备这五个条件，婆罗门们认定一个人为婆罗门，才能说『我是婆罗门』而正确地说，且不犯妄语。」

如是说已，苏那旦多婆罗门对世尊说：「请尊者果德玛且住，请尊者果德玛沉默，我自己会以正法回答他们。」于是苏那旦多婆罗门对那些婆罗门说：「尊者们不要这样说，尊者们不要这样说——『尊者苏那旦多否定了容貌，否定了咒颂，否定了出身。尊者苏那旦多完全倒向了沙门果德玛的主张。』我并没有否定容貌、咒颂或出身。」

当时，苏那旦多婆罗门的外甥鸯伽迦青年正坐在那群人中。于是苏那旦多婆罗门对那些婆罗门说：「各位看到这位鸯伽迦青年——我们的外甥吗？」「是的，尊者。」「鸯伽迦青年确实容貌端正、令人喜悦、令人欢喜，具足最上的肤色之美，梵色梵容，仪表堂堂，在这群人中，除了沙门果德玛外，没有人在容貌上能与他相比。鸯伽迦青年是诵经者、持咒者，通达三吠陀以及词汇释义、仪轨、语音分析和古传说为第五的经典，精通句法和文法，通晓顺世论和大人相。我就是教他咒颂的。鸯伽迦青年父母双方善生、血统纯正、七代以来出身无瑕、无可指责的。我知道他的母系和父系。然而，如果鸯伽迦青年杀生、偷盗、邪淫、妄语、饮酒，那么容貌、咒颂、出身对他有什么用呢？诸贤，只有当婆罗门持戒、戒增上、具足增上戒，聪明有慧，是执勺者中第一或第二位，以这两个条件，婆罗门们才认定一个人为婆罗门，能说『我是婆罗门』而正确地说，且不犯妄语。」

「那么，婆罗门，什么是那个戒？什么是那个慧？」「尊者果德玛，对此我们只知道这么多。善哉，若能请尊者果德玛阐明此语的义理。」「那么，婆罗门，你仔细听，好好思惟，我将说。」「好的，尊者。」苏那旦多婆罗门回答世尊。世尊如此说：「婆罗门，在此，如来出现于世，阿拉汉、正等觉者……（如同第190-212段，应如此详说）如是，婆罗门，比库成就戒。这就是那个戒，婆罗门……成就并安住于初禅那……第二禅那……第三禅那……成就并安住于第四禅那……将心导向、转向智见。这就是那个慧，婆罗门……了知『不再有此生』。这就是那个慧，婆罗门。这就是那个戒，这就是那个慧。」

苏那旦多婆罗门了知世尊已接受后，从座位起立，礼敬世尊，右绕后离去。苏那旦多婆罗门在当夜过后，在自己的住处准备了精美的副食和主食，然后通知世尊时间已到：「尊者果德玛，时间到了，食物已备好。」于是世尊在上午时分，着下衣、持钵和外衣，与比库僧团一起前往苏那旦多婆罗门的住处；到达后，在已设好的座位上坐下。苏那旦多婆罗门亲手以精美的副食和主食供养以佛陀为首的比库僧团，使其满足、尽兴。

Atha kho soṇadaṇḍo brāhmaṇo tassā rattiyā accayena sake nivesane paṇītaṃ khādanīyaṃ bhojanīyaṃ paṭiyādāpetvā bhagavato kālaṃ ārocāpesi – ‘‘kālo, bho gotama, niṭṭhitaṃ bhatta’’nti. Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṅghena yena soṇadaṇḍassa brāhmaṇassa nivesanaṃ tenupasaṅkami ; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi.

于是索那丹达婆罗门知道世尊已默许后,从座而起,礼敬世尊,行右绕礼后离去。于是索那丹达婆罗门在那夜过后,在自己的住所准备了殊妙的副食与主食,派人向世尊报时:「果德玛尊者,时间到了,食物已备办好。」于是世尊在上午时分穿好衣,拿着钵与衣,与比库僧团一起前往索那丹达婆罗门的住所;抵达后,坐在已设置的座位上。于是索那丹达婆罗门亲手以殊妙的副食与主食供养、款待以佛陀为首的比库僧团。
§321
Atha kho soṇadaṇḍo brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ bhuttāviṃ onītapattapāṇiṃ aññataraṃ nīcaṃ āsanaṃ gahetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho soṇadaṇḍo brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca – ‘‘ahañceva kho pana, bho gotama, parisagato samāno āsanā vuṭṭhahitvā bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ abhivādeyyaṃ, tena maṃ sā parisā paribhaveyya. Yaṃ kho pana sā parisā paribhaveyya, yasopi tassa hāyetha. Yassa kho pana yaso hāyetha, bhogāpi tassa hāyeyyuṃ. Yasoladdhā kho panamhākaṃ bhogā. Ahañceva kho pana, bho gotama, parisagato samāno añjaliṃ paggaṇheyyaṃ, āsanā me taṃ bhavaṃ gotamo paccuṭṭhānaṃ dhāretu. Ahañceva kho pana, bho gotama, parisagato samāno veṭhanaṃ omuñceyyaṃ, sirasā me taṃ bhavaṃ gotamo abhivādanaṃ dhāretu.

那时,索那丹达婆罗门在世尊用食完毕、手离钵后,取了某个低座,坐在一边。坐在一边的索那丹达婆罗门对世尊这样说:「果德玛尊者,如果我在大众中从座位起立礼敬果德玛尊者,那大众会轻视我。如果那大众轻视我,我的名声就会减损。如果名声减损,财富也会减损。我们的财富是依名声而得的。果德玛尊者,如果我在大众中合掌,请果德玛尊者接受这作为我从座位起立。果德玛尊者,如果我在大众中解下头巾,请果德玛尊者接受这作为我以头礼敬。果德玛尊者,如果我在乘车时从车上下来礼敬果德玛尊者,那大众会轻视我。如果那大众轻视我,我的名声就会减损。如果名声减损,财富也会减损。我们的财富是依名声而得的。果德玛尊者,如果我在乘车时举起驱象棒,请果德玛尊者接受这作为我从车上下来。果德玛尊者,如果我在乘车时放下伞盖,请果德玛尊者接受这作为我以头礼敬。」
§322
Atha kho bhagavā soṇadaṇḍaṃ brāhmaṇaṃ dhammiyā kathāya sandassetvā samādapetvā samuttejetvā sampahaṃsetvā uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkāmīti.
于是,世尊以法语开示、劝导、鼓励、使索那丹达婆罗门欢喜后,从座起立而离去。
