83.More DetailsCommentaries

"I ask the sage of abundant wisdom," (thus spoke Cunda, the smith's son)

"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."

84.More DetailsCommentaries

"There are four ascetics, there is no fifth," (said the Blessed One to Cunda)

"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."

85.More DetailsCommentaries

"Whom do the Buddhas call the conqueror by the path," (thus spoke Cunda, the smith's son)

"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."

86.More DetailsCommentaries

"Whoever has crossed over doubt, is free from the dart, delighting in Nibbāna, not greedy;

A leader of the world with its gods, the Buddhas call such a one a conqueror by the path.

87.More DetailsCommentaries

"Whoever here, having known the supreme as 'supreme', declares and analyses the Teaching right here;

That sage who cuts off uncertainty, without longing, they call the second monk, a path-pointer.

88.More DetailsCommentaries

"Whoever lives on the path in the well-expounded stanza of the Teaching, restrained and mindful;

Practising blameless states, they call the third monk one who lives on the path.

89.More DetailsCommentaries

"Having made a covering of those of good conduct, he is a rusher, a corrupter of families, impudent;

Deceitful, unrestrained, chaff, behaving with a semblance, he is a corrupter of the path.

90.More DetailsCommentaries

"And whoever householder has penetrated these, a learned noble disciple, wise;

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.
