The Discourse on Cunda
"The Buddha, the lord of the Teaching, devoid of craving;
The highest of bipeds, the excellent among charioteers, how many ascetics are there in the world? Please tell me that."
"I reveal them to you, being asked as a witness;
The conqueror by the path, the one who points out the path, one who lives on the path, and the corrupter of the path."
"How is the one who points out the path incomparable;
Being asked, tell me about one who lives on the path, and also reveal to me the corrupter of the path."
A leader of the world with its gods, the Buddhas call such a one a conqueror by the path.
That sage who cuts off uncertainty, without longing, they call the second monk, a path-pointer.
Practising blameless states, they call the third monk one who lives on the path.
Deceitful, unrestrained, chaff, behaving with a semblance, he is a corrupter of the path.
Having known 'not all are like this,' thus having seen, his faith does not diminish;
For how could one make the uncorrupted equal to the corrupted, the pure equal to the impure?"
The Discourse on Cunda is concluded as fifth.
