F. Section on the nine charnel grounds

(1)
Furthermore, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body,
cast away in a charnel ground, one day dead, or two days dead or three
days dead, swollen, bluish and festering, he considers this very kāya (body): “This kāya (body) also is of such a nature, it is going to become like this, and is not free from such a condition.” 

Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body)internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya (Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena (sapindus detergens)in kāya (body), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena (sapindus detergens) in kāya (body); or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” sati is present in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa and mere paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling to anything in the world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body).


(2)
Furthermore, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body,
cast away in a charnel ground, being eaten by crows, being eaten by
hawks, being eaten by vultures, being eaten by herons, being eaten by
dogs, being eaten by tigers, being eaten by panthers, being eaten by
various kinds of beings, he considers this very kāya (body): “This kāya (body) also is of such a nature, it is going to become like this, and is not free from such a condition.”


Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body)internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya (Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena (sapindus detergens)in kāya (body), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena (sapindus detergens) in kāya (body); or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” sati is present in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa and mere paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling to anything in the world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body).


(3)
Furthermore, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body,
cast away in a charnel ground, a squeleton with flesh and blood, held
together by tendons, he considers this very kāya (body): “This kāya (body) also is of such a nature, it is going to become like this, and is not free from such a condition.”


Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body)internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya (Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena (sapindus detergens)in kāya (body), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena (sapindus detergens) in kāya (body); or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” sati is present in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa and mere paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling to anything in the world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body).


(4)

DäGHA NIKâYA IV
INTRODUCTION
TO THE
SOöADAöôA SUTTA



THIS Dialogue comes very
appropriately immediately after the Ambaññha. That dealt with the
general question of pride of birth, or social position. This deals with
the special question of what is the essential quality which makes a man a
Brahman. The conclusion is, no doubt, substantially the same. But there
is a difference, and the difference is instructive.


In trying to gain over Ambaññha to his
(the Buddha’s) view of the essential distinctionÞrather than birth or
social positionÞbetween man and man, Gotama includes the whole list as
set out above in the thirteen divisions of the Sàma¤¤aphala.
[1] In
trying to gain over Soõadaõóa to his (the Buddha’s) view of what is the
essential quality that makes a man a Brahman, he gives the same
details, but puts the Jhànas (the states of Ecstasy) not under Conduct, but under pa¤¤à (intelligence).

The reason seems to be simply that the verse, on which the exposition
in the Ambaññha turns, mentions only Wisdom and Conduct (containing no
word for Intelligence), and that it is not thought accurate to put the
states of Ecstasy (which are Indian, not specially Buddhist) under
Wisdom. It is true that the Buddhist position is that `goodness is a
function of intelligence, as beauty is of health’ (to quote the words of
Matthew Bassendine). But under Intelligence they always distinguish two
phasesÞthe enquiring, and necessarily therefore doubting, activity, of
the mind; and the final stage of emancipation and peace when the laws of
the universe are clearly seen, and firmly grasped, and cheerfully
acquiesced in.

[\q 138/] It is this latter phase which they call Wisdom (vijjà) [2] Þthe contrary of the avijjà,
which is ignorance of the action of karma, of the Four Noble Truths,
and of the doctrine of the âsavas or Intoxications. The man who knows
these; who, finally and permanently out of the jungle and in the open,
quite beyond the stage of `wasting his wonder on the fabulous soul,’ has
attained to, and remains in this state of Nirvàõa in Arahatship, is not
only, in Buddhist terminology, called a Brahman, but is, in fact,
declared to be the only true Brahman.


It is amazing that Soõadaõóa, as
learned as he is wealthy, does not see that this, the logical outcome of
the Buddha’s argument, and carefully led upto in the final paragraph of
the exposition,
[3]
is really incompatible with the supremacy of the Brahmans in the
ordinary sense of that word. He is baffled by the skill with which he is
gradually led on, by the usual Socratic method adopted in so many of
the Dialogues, to accept one self-evident truth after another. There is
indeed nothing, till we come to that last paragraph, which any
intelligent Brahman could not, with safety, and with due regard to his
own doctrine, fully accept. In other words, the doctrine of Brahman
supremacy was intellectually indefensible. It was really quite
inconsistent with the ethical standard of the times, which the Brahmans,
in common with the rest of the people, fully accepted.,

Our Sutta is by no means the only one in which the same, or a
similar, argument leads upto the same, or a similar, conclusion. It will
aid us in understanding the real gist of our Sutta to mention one or
two of these.

In the Tikaõõa and Jàõussoõi Suttas of the Aïguttara [4] the
question put by the Buddha is: `What sort of person do you Brahmans
acknowledge to be a òevijja Brahman (a Brahman with threefold lore)?’


The answer of each of the Brahmans is,
in the words of our Sutta, Section 4: `A Brahman well born on both
sides, of pure descent, through the father and through the mother, back
through seven generations, with no slur put upon him, and no reproach,
in respect of birthÞa repeater (of the sacred words) knowing the mystic
verses by heart, one who has mastered the Three Vedas, with the indices,
the ritual, the phonology, and the exegesis (as a fourth), and with the
[\q 139/] legends as a fifthÞa man learned in the (etymologies of the)
words and in the grammar, versed in Lokàyata (Nature-lore)
[5] and in the theory of the signs on the body of a great man.’

Whereupon the Buddha rejoins that in the teaching of the Arahats the
`threefold lore’ is different; and on being asked what it is, answers in
the words of sections 93, 95, and 97 of the Sàma¤¤a-phala Sutta, which
are quoted as the last three paragraphs of his exposition in our Sutta,
that is to say,


a. The knowledge of one’s own previous births.

b. The knowledge of other people’s previous births.

c. The knowledge of the Four Truths, and of the Four Intoxications (âsavas), leading on to the emancipation of Arahatship.

The only difference is that at the end of each section, and after the
words setting forth the emancipation, the following sentence is added:

`This first (or second, or third) lore hath he required. Ignorance is
dispelled within him, and wisdom has been born. The darkness has been
dissipated, the light has appeared. (And all this) inasmuch as he has
continued in earnestness, in zeal, in mastery of himself.’

And at the end of the whole the following verses are also added:


`Him do they honour whose heartÞunswerving in goodness, and wise,
Given to earnest thoughtÞrests in his own control,
Pacified, stedfast. And him resolute, able in method,
Threefold in knowledge, dispelling the darkness, the conqueror of Death, who
Lived for the weal of gods and of men delivered from folly,
Him of the threefold lore, mindful and self-possessed,
Him do they honour, the Buddha, our Gotama, wearing now,
Conqueror, too, of Birth, the last of his mortal frames!’
`Tis he who is a Bràhmaõa indeed
Who knows the births that he has lived before;
And sees (with Heavenly Eye) the states of bliss,
And states of woe, that other men pass through;
Has reached the end of all rebirths, become
A sage, perfect in insight, Arahat,
In these three modes of knowledge threefold wise.

[\q 140/]


Him do I call a Brahman, threefold wise,
And not the man who mutters o’er again
The mystic verse so often muttered through before.’

How important a place this doctrine occupied in early Buddhism is
made evident by the fact that this latter stanza, with variations at the
close, is so constantly repeated. We find it in the 99th Sutta of the
Itivuttaka (p. 100) and in the 91st Sutta of the Majjhima (the Brahmàya
Sutta). And it is quoted also, not only in this Sutta in the Aïguttara,
and in another Sutta in the Saüyutta (I, 167), but also in the
collection of verses from the Piñakas called the Dhammapada (verse
423);. and also in the other collection of such verses (probably
belonging to some other school of Buddhists), now preserved in the
oldest MS. yet discovered in India, the so-called Kharoshñhi MS.,
portions of which have simultaneously found their way, last year, to
both St. Petersburg and Paris.

The whole section of the Dhammapada, which contains this quotation,
consists of no less than forty verses, each of which, from one point of
view or another, emphasise this point of the identification, by the
Buddhists, of the Arahat with the Brahman. Twenty-seven of them are
taken from the Vàseññha Sutta of the Sutta Nipàta, in which the question
raised is precisely the same as that raised in our Sutta, and in which
`the reply, though different in details, amounts to much the same as the
reply given here.

Two conclusions force themselves upon us. It is, in the first place, a
striking proof of the high social esteem in which the Brahmans, as
such, and quite irrespective of character, were held by the masses of
the people. We have hitherto only had the views which the Brahmans held
about themselves. And very absurd they seem to readers whose own vivid
sense of superiority rests on a self-complacency quite as inexpugnable
as that of the Brahmans. Here we have evidence from an independent
source, Þevidence all the stronger because it is found in Suttas in
which the exclusive claims of the Brahmans by birth are vigorously
contested. When the Buddhists, in selecting a title of honour for those
they valued so highly, for the best of men, for the Arahats, selected
the name of Brahman, it is clear that that word, in the opinion of the
early Buddhists, conveyed to the minds of the people an exalted meaning,
a connotation of real veneration and respect. And it is not likely that
this would have been the case unless the Brahmans had, at least as
[\q 141/] a general rule, deserved itÞand on other grounds than the mere
prerogative of birth.

In the second place, if the contention of the Buddhists had been
universally acceptedÞif the word Brahman had come to mean, not only a
man of a certain descent, but exclusively a man of a certain character
and insight then the present’ caste system of India could never have
grown up. But it was obviously impossible that the contention should
succeed.

The method, adopted by all reformers, of pouring new wine into old
bottles, putting new meanings into ancient words, can only succeed under
conditions, that, in this case, were non-existent. And it is always
open to the danger that, with the old and hallowed word, the old
superstition associated with it will also survive. It was a method
largely adopted by the Buddhists; and in numerous other cases, to which I
have elsewhere called attention, adopted with success. The subsequent
language of India is full of phrases and words which bear, not the
meaning which they previously bore, but the new and higher meaning put
into them by Buddhists. But in this case the two ideas were too widely
apart, too contradictory. A physical meaning cannot be replaced by an
ethical one. The actual facts of life, which they could not alter, could
not, indeed, attempt to alter, were a constant influence, against their
view, too strong to be overcome. Brahmans by birth, many of them,
perhaps most of them, engaged in various worldly trades and occupations,
and therefore Brahmans only by birth, were so constant and so important
a factor in the daily and hourly life of the people, that the idea of
birth could not be dissociated from the word. The Buddhists failed. And
they not only failed, their very choice of the word as a title of
honour, must (through the wide influence they exercised for so many
centuries throughout and beyond the valley of the Ganges) have actually
afforded a fresh strength to the veneration which the word inspired. The
very means they adopted to lend weight to their doctrine of
emancipation became a weapon to be turned against themselves.

It is unlikely that this really mattered much. The point was only one
detail in a broad scheme which was doomed from the outset to
failureÞthat is if failure to attain immediate and lasting acceptance
can rightly be called the failure of a theory of life.

A theory which placed the ideal in Self-conquest, regarded final
salvation as obtainable in this world, and in this world [\q 142/] only,
and only by self-conquestÞa view of life that ignored the `soul’ and
brought the very gods themselves under the domain of lawÞa religious
movement which aimed its keenest shafts against all those forms of
belief in the supernatural and mysterious, appealing most strongly alike
to the hopes and to the fears of the peopleÞa philosophy that confined
itself to going back, step by step, from effect to cause, and poured
scorn on speculations as to the ultimate origin and end of all
thingsÞmight gain, by the powerful personality of its founder and the
enthusiasm and zeal of his early followers, a certain measure of
temporary success. But it fought against too many vested interests at
once, , it raised up too many enemies, it tried in `pouring new wine
into the old bottles’ to retain too much of the ancient phraseology, for
lasting victoryÞat least at that time, and in an advancing country then
assimilating to itself surrounding peoples at a lower grade of culture.
The end. was inevitable. And it was actually brought about, not by
persecution, but by the gradual weakening of the theory itself, the
gradual creeping back, under new forms and new names, of the more
popular beliefs.

The very event, which seemed, in the eyes of the world, to be the
most striking proof of the success of the new movement, the conversion
and strenuous support of Asoka, the most powerful ruler India had
hadÞindeed the first real overlord over practically the whole of
IndiaÞonly hastened the decline. The adhesion of large numbers of
nominal converts, more especially from the newly incorporated and less
advanced provinces, produced weakness, rather than strength, in the
movement for reform. The day of compromise had come. Every relaxation of
the old thoroughgoing position was widely supported by converts only
half converted. And the margin of difference between the Buddhists and
their opponents gradually faded almost entirely away. The soul theory,
step by step, gained again the upper hand. The caste system was
gradually built up into a completely organised system. The social
supremacy of the Brahmans by birth became accepted as an
incontrovertible fact. And the inflood of popular superstition which
overwhelmed the Buddhist movement, overwhelmed also the whole pantheon
of the Vedic gods. Buddhism and Brahmanism alike passed practically
away, and modern Hinduism arose on the ruins of both.

The struggle is now being renewed under conditions perhaps, on the
whole, more favourable. The tone of worldliness and love of material
comfort, the eager restlessness [\q 143/] of modern social, and economic
competition, the degradation of learning to a mere means of getting on
and making money, are no doubt all unfavourable to any movement for the
social and religious elevation of a people. But history shows, notably
in the case of the Reformation in Europe, how powerfully the contact of
two diverse views of life tends to widen the thoughts of men. Both India
and Europe in the twentieth century may be fairly expected to afford
fresh examples of the same influence. And in India the powerful aid of
the new methods of science and of historical criticism will lend their
invaluable aid to the party endeavouring, now once again, to place the
ideal, not in birth, but in character and wisdom.

Introduction


DäGHA NIKâYA IV
[CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TRUE BRAHMAN]

[III] 1. Thus have I heard. The
Blessed One once, when going on a tour through the Aïga country with a
great multitude of the brethren, with about five hundred brethren,
arrived at Campà.
[6] And there at Campà he lodged on the bank of the Gaggarà Lake. [7]

Now at that time the Brahman Soõadaõóa was dwelling at Campà, a place teeming with life, [8] with much grassland and woodland and water and corn, on a royal domain granted him by Seniya Bimbisàra, the king of Magadhà, [9] as a royal fief, with power over it as if he were the king.

2. Now the Brahmans and householders of Campà heard the news: `They
say that the Samaõa Gotama of the Sàkya clan, who went out from a Sàkya
family to adopt the religious life, has now arrived, with a great
[\q 145/] company of the brethren at Campà, and is staying there on the
shore of the Gaggarà Lake. Now regarding that venerable Gotama, such is
the high reputation that has been noised abroad: That Blessed One is an
Arahat, a fully awakened one, abounding in wisdom and goodness, happy,
with `Knowledge of the worlds, unsurpassed as a guide to mortals willing
to be led, a teacher for gods and men, a Blessed One, a Buddha. He, by
himself, thoroughly knows and sees, as it were, face to face this
universe, including the worlds above of the gods, the Brahmas, and the
Màras, and the world below with its recluses and Brahmans, its princes
and peoples, and having known it, he makes his knowledge known to
others. The truth, lovely in its origin, lovely in its progress, lovely
in its consummation, doth he proclaim, both in the spirit and in the
letter, the higher life doth he make known, in all its fullness’ and in
all its purity.

`And good is it to pay visits to Arahats like that.’

[112] And the Brahmans and householders of Campà began to leave Campà in companies and in bands from each district, [10] so that they could be counted, to go to the Gaggarà. Lake.

3. Now at that time Soõadaõóa the Brahman had gone apart to the upper
terrace of his house for his siesta, and seeing the people thus go by,
he said to his doorkeeper: `Why are the people of Campà, going forth
like this towards the Gaggarà Lake?’

Then the doorkeeper told him the news. And he said: `Then, good
doorkeeper, go to the Brahmans and householders of Campà, and say to
them: ßSoõadaõóa the Brahman desires them to wait. He will himself come
to see the Samaõa Gotama.û’

`Very well, Sir,’ said the doorkeeper, and he did so.

[113] 4. Now at that time there were about five hundred Brahmans from
different kingdoms lodging at Campà for some business or other. And
when they heard that Soõadaõóa was intending to visit the [\q 146/]
Samaõa Gotama, they went to Soõadaõóa, and asked whether that was so.

`That is my intention, Sirs. I propose to call on the Samaõa Gotama.’

`Let not the venerable Soõadaõóa do that. It is not fitting for him
to do so. If it were the venerable Soõadaõóa who went to call upon him,
then the venerable Soõadaõóa’s reputation would decrease and the Samaõa
Gotama’s would increase. This is the first reason why you, Sir, should
not call upon, him, but he upon you.’

5. And they laid before Soõadaõóa the Brahman in like manner also other considerations, to wit:

That he was well born on both sides, of pure descent through the
mother and through the father back through seven generations, with no
slur put upon him, and no reproach, in respect of birth.

That he was prosperous, well to do, and rich.

[114] That he was a repeater (of the sacred words), knowing the
mystic verses by heart, one who had mastered the Three Vedas, with the
indices, the ritual, the phonology, and the exegesis (as a fourth), and
the legends as a, fifth, learned in the words and in the grammar, versed
in Lokàyata (Nature-lore), and in the theory of the signs on the body of a great man.

That he was handsome, pleasant to look
upon, inspiring trust, gifted with great beauty of complexion, fair in
colour, fine in presence,
[11] stately [12] to behold.

That he was virtuous, increased in virtue, gifted with virtue that had waxed great.

That he had a pleasant voice and pleasing delivery, and was gifted with polite address, distinct, not husky, [13] suitable for making clear the matter in hand.

That he was the teacher of the teachers of many, [\q 147/]
instructing three hundred Brahmans in the repetition of the mystic
verses, and that many young Brahmans, from various directions and
various counties, all craving for the verses, came to learn them by
heart under him.

That he was aged, old, and well stricken in years, long-lived and full of days.

That he was honoured, held of weight, esteemed worthy, venerated and revered by Seniya Bimbisàra, the king of Magadhà.

That lie was honoured, held of weight, esteemed worthy, venerated and revered by Pokkharasàdi, the Brahman.

That he dwelt at Campà, a place teeming with life, with much
grassland and woodland and corn, on a royal fief granted him by Seniya
Bimbisàra, the king of Magadhà, as a royal gift, with power over it as
if he were the king.

For each of these reasons it was not fitting that he, Soõadaõóa the
Brahman, should call upon the Samaõa Gotama, but rather that the Samaõa
Gotama should call upon him.

6. And when they had thus spoken, Soõadaõóa said to them:

[115] `Then, Sirs, listen, and hear why it is fitting that I should
call upon the venerable Gotama, and not he should call upon me.

`Truly, Sirs, the venerable Gotama is well born on both sides, of
pure descent through the mother and the father back through seven
generations, with no slur put upon him, and no reproach in respect of
birth.

`Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama has gone forth (into the religious life), giving up the great clan of his relations. [14]

`Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama has gone
forth (into the religious life), giving up much money and gold, treasure
both buried and above the ground.

[\q 148/] `Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama, while he was still a young
man, without a grey hair on his head, in the beauty of his early
manhood, has gone forth from the household life into the homeless state.

`Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama, though his father and mother were
unwilling, and wept, their cheeks being wet with tears, nevertheless cut
off his hair and beard, and donned the yellow robes, and went out from
the household life into the homeless state.

`Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama is handsome, pleasant to look upon,
inspiring trust, gifted with great beauty of complexion, fair in colour,
fine in presence, stately to behold.

`Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama is virtuous with the virtue of the Arahats, good and virtuous, gifted with goodness and virtue.

`Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama hath a pleasant voice, and a pleasing
delivery, he is gifted with polite address, distinct, not husky,
suitable for making clear the matter in hand.

`Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama is the teacher of the teachers of many.

`Truly, Sirs the Samaõa Gotama has no passion of lust left in him, and has put away all fickleness of mind.

`Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama believes in karma, and in action, [15] he is one who puts righteousness in the forefront (of his exhortations) to the Brahman race.


`Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama went forth from a distinguished family primeval [16] among the Kshatriya clans.

[\q 149/] `Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama went forth from a family prosperous, well to do, and rich.

[116] `Truly, Sirs, people come right across the country from distant lands to ask questions of the Samaõa Gotama.

`Truly, Sirs, multitudes of heavenly beings put their trust in the Samaõa Gotama.

`Truly, Sirs, such is the high reputation noised abroad concerning
the Samaõa Gotama, that he is said to be an Arahat, exalted, fully
awakened, abounding in wisdom and righteousness, happy, with knowledge
of the worlds, a Blessed One, a Buddha.

`Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama has all the thirty two bodily marks of a Great Being.

`Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama bids all men welcome, is congenial,
conciliatory, not supercilious, accessible to all, not backward in
conversation.

`Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama is honoured, held of weight, esteemed
and venerated and revered by the four classes (of his followersÞthe
brethren and sisters of the Order, laymen and lay women).

`Truly, Sirs, many gods and men believe in the Samaõa Gotama.

`Truly, Sirs, in whatsoever village or town the Samaõa Gotama stays, there the non-humans do the humans no harm.

`Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama as the
head of an Order, of a school, as the teacher of a school, is the
acknowledged chief of all the founders of sects. Whereas some Samaõas
and Brahmans have gained a reputation by all sorts of insignificant
matters,
[17] not [\q 150/] so the Samaõa Gotama. His reputation comes from perfection in conduct and righteousness.

Truly, Sirs, the king of Magadhà, Seniya Bimbisàra, with his children
and his wives, with his people, and his courtiers, has put his trust in
the Samaõa Gotama.

`Truly, Sirs, King Pasenadi of Kosala, with his children and his
wives, with his people and his courtiers, has put his trust in the
Samaõa Gotama.

`Truly, Sirs, Pokkharasàdi the Brahman, with his children and his
wives, with his people and his intimates, has put his trust in the
Samaõa Gotama.

`Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama is honoured, held of weight,
esteemed, and venerated and revered alike by Seniya Bimbisàra, the king
of Magadhà, by Pasenadi the king of Kosala, and by Pokkharasàdi the
Brahman.

[117] `Truly, Sirs, the Samaõa Gotama has now arrived at Campà, and
is staying on the shores of the Gaggarà. Lake. But all Samaõas and
Brahmans who come into our village borders are our guests. And guests we
ought to esteem and honour, to venerate and revere. And as he is now so
come, he ought to be so treated, as a guest.

`For each and all of these considerations it is not fitting that the
Samaõa Gotama should call upon us, but rather does it behove us to call
upon him. And so far only do I know the excellencies of the Samaõa
Gotama, but these are not all of them, for his excellence is beyond
measure.’

7. And when he had thus spoken, those
Brahmans said to him: `The venerable Soõadaõóa declares the praises of
the Samaõa Gotama on such wise, that were he to be dwelling even a
hundred leagues from here, it would be enough to make a believing man go
thither to call upon him, even had he to carry a bag (for the
provisions for the journey) on his back.
[18] Let us then all go to call on the Samaõa Gotama together!’

[\q 151/] So Soõadaõóa the Brahman went out to the Gaggarà Lake with a great company of Brahmans.

8. Now the following hesitation arose
in Soõadaõóa’s mind as he passed through the wood: `Were I to ask the
Samaõa `Gotama a question, if he were to say: ßThe question ought not to
be asked so, thus ought the question to be framed; ” the company might
thereupon speak of me with disrespect, saying: ßFoolish is this
Soõadaõóa the Brahman, and inexpert. [118] He is not even able to ask a
question rightly.û But if they did so my reputation would decrease; and
with my reputation my incomings would grow less, for what we have to
enjoy, that depends on our reputation. But if the Samaõa Gotama were to
put a question to me, I might not be able to gain his approval
[19] by
my explanation of the problem. And if they were then to say to me: ßThe
question ought not to be answered so; thus ought the problem to be
explained; ” the company might thereupon speak of me with disrespect,
saying: ßFoolish is this Soõadaõóa the Brahman, and inexpert. He is not
even able to satisfy the Samaõa Gotama by his explanation of the problem
put.û But if they did so, my reputation would decrease; and with my
reputation my incomings would grow less, for what we have to enjoy, that
depends upon our reputation. But on the other hand if, having come so
far, I should turn back without calling upon the Samaõa Gotama, then
might the company speak disrespectfully of me, saying: ßFoolish is this
Soõadaõóa the Brahman, and inexpert, though obstinate with pride, he is
so afraid that he dare not call on the Samaõa Gotama. How can he turn
back after having come so far?” But if they did so, my reputation would
decrease; and with my reputation my incomings would grow less. For what
we have to enjoy, that depends upon our reputation.’

9. So Soõadaõóa the Brahman went upto where the [\q 152/] Blessed One
was. And hen he had come there he exchanged with the Blessed One the
greetings and compliments of politeness and courtesy, and took his seat
on one side. And as to the Brahmans and householders of Campà, some of
them bowed to the Blessed One and took their seats on one side; some of
them exchanged with him the greetings and compliments of politeness and
courtesy, and then took their seats on one side; some of them called out
their name and family, and then took their seats on one side; and some
of them took their seats on one side in silence.

[119] 10. Now as Soõadaõóa was seated there he was still filled with
hesitation, thinking as before set out; and he added to himself: `Oh!
would that the Samaõa Gotama would but ask me some question on my own
subject, on the threefold Vedic lore. Verily, I should then be able to
gain his approval by my exposition of the problem put!’

11. Now the Blessed One became aware in his own mind of the
hesitation in the mind of Soõadaõóa, and he thought: `This Soõadaõóa is
afflicted in his heart. I had better question him on his own doctrine.’
And he said to him: `What are the things, Brahman, which the Brahmans
say a man ought to have in order to be a Brahman, so that if he says: ßI
am a Brahman, ” he speaks accurately and does not become guilty of
falsehood?’

12. Then Soõadaõóa thought: [120] `What I wished and desired and had
in my mind and hoped forÞthat the Samaõa Gotama should put to me some
question on my own subject, on the threefold Vedic loreÞthat he now
does. Oh! that I may be able to satisfy his heart with my exposition
thereof!’

13. And drawing his body up erect, and looking round on the assembly,
he said to the Blessed One: `The Brahmans, Gotama, declare him to be a
Brahman who can accurately say ” I am a Brahman ” without being guilty
of falsehood, who has five things. And what are the five? In the first
place, Sir, a Brahman is well born on both sides, on the mother’s side
and on [\q 153/] the father’s side, of pure descent back through seven
generations, with no slur put upon him, and no reproach, in respect of
birth.

`Then he is a repeater (of the sacred words), knowing the mystic
verses by heart, one who has mastered the Three Vedas, with the indices,
the ritual, the phonology, and the exegesis (as a fourth), and the
legends as a fifth, learned. in the phrases and in the grammar, versed
in Lokàyata sophistry, and in the theory of the signs on the body of a
great man.

`Then he is handsome, pleasant to look upon, inspiring trust, gifted
with great beauty of complexion, fair in colour, fine in presence,
stately to behold.

`Then he is virtuous, increased in virtue, gifted with virtue that has grown great.

`Then he is learned and wise, the first, or it may be the second, among those who hold out the ladle.’ [20]

14. `But of these five things, oh Brahman, is
it possible to leave one out, and to declare the man who has the other
four to be a Brahman, to be one who can accurately, and without falling
into falsehood, claim to be a Brahman?’

`Yes, Gotama, that can be, done. We could leave out colour. [21]
For what does colour matter? [121] If he have the other fourÞgood
birth, technical training, virtue, and wisdom, as just set forth
[22] ÞBrahmans would still declare him to be a Brahman; and he could rightly, without danger of falsehood, claim to be one.’

15.’ But of these four things, oh Brahman, is it possible to leave
one out, and to declare the man who has the other three to be a Brahman,
to be one who can rightly, and without falling into falsehood, claim to
be a Brahman?’

`Yes, Gotama, that could be done. We could leave out the verses. For
what do the verses matter? If [\q 154/] he have the other threeÞgood
birth, virtue, and wisdomÞBrahmans would still declare him to be a
Brahman; and he could rightly, without danger of falsehood, claim to be
one.’

16. `But of these three things, Brahman, is it possible to leave one
out, and to declare the man who has the other two to be a Brahman, to be
one who can accurately, and without falling into falsehood, claim to be
a Brahman?’

`Yes, Gotama, that could be done. We could leave out birth. For what
does birth matter? If he have the other two ¤ virtue and wisdom ¤
Brahmans would still declare him to be a Brahman; and he could rightly,
without danger of falsehood, claim to be one.’

[122] 17. And when he had thus spoken the other Brahmans said to Soõadaõóa:

`Say not so venerable Soõadaõóa, say not so! He depreciates not only
our colour, but he depreciates our verses and our birth. Verily the
venerable Soõadaõóa is going over to the doctrine of the samaõa Gotama.’

18. Then the Blessed One said to those Brahmans: `If you, oh
Brahmans, think that Soõadaõóa is unlearned, that he speaks unfittingly,
that he is unwise, that he is unable to hold his own with me in this
matter, let him keep silence, and do you discuss with me. But if you
think him learned, able in speech, wise, able to hold his own, then do
you keep silence, and let him discuss with me.’

19. And when he had thus spoken, Soõadaõóa the Brahman said to those Brahmans:

`Let not the venerable ones say so. Say not so, Sirs. [123] I do not
depreciate either our colour, nor our verses, nor our birth.’

20. Now at that time a young Brahman named Angaka, [23]
sister’s son to Soõadaõóa the Brahman, was seated in that company. And
Soõadaõóa said to those [\q 155/] Brahmans: `Do the venerable ones see
this Angaka, our nephew?’

`Yes, Sir, we see him.’

`Well! Angaka, Sirs, is handsome, pleasant to look upon, inspiring
trust, gifted with great beauty of complexion, fair in, colour, fine in
presence, stately to beholdÞnone in this assembly is like unto him in
colour, save only the Samaõa Gotama.

`And Angaka, Sirs, is a repeater (of the sacred words), knowing the
mystic verses by heart, one who has mastered the Three Vedas, with the
indices, the ritual, the phonology, and the exegesis (as a fourth), and
the legends as a fifth, learned in the phrases and the grammar, versed
in Lokàyata (Nature-lore), and in the theory of the signs on the body of
a great manÞI myself have taught him the verses.

`And Angaka, Sirs, is well born on both sides, on the mother’s side
and on the father’s side, of pure descent back through seven
generations, with no slur put upon him, and no reproach in respect of
birthÞI myself know his forebears, on the mother’s side and on the
father’s.

`If Angaka, Sirs, should kill. living things, and take what has not
been given, and go the way of the adulterer, and speak lies, and drink
strong drink, what then, Sirs, would his colour avail him? what the
verses? what his birth?

`It is in so far, Sirs, as a Brahman is virtuous, increased in
virtue, gifted with virtue that has grown great; in so far as he is
learned and wise, the first, or it may be the second, among those who
hold out the ladle, that Brahmans would declare him, as endowed with
these two qualities, to be a Brahman, to be one who could rightly say ” I
am a Brahman” without falling into falsehood.’

21. `But of these two things, oh Brahman, is it possible to leave one
out, and to declare the man who has the other to be a Brahman, to be
one who can rightly, and without falling into falsehood, claim to be a,
Brahman?’

[\q 156/] [124] Not that, Gotama! For
wisdom, oh Gotama, is purified by uprightness, and uprightness is
purified by wisdom. Where there is uprightness, wisdom is there, and
where there is wisdom, uprightness is there. To the upright there is
wisdom, to the wise there is uprightness, and wisdom and goodness are
declared to be the best thing in the world.
[24]
Just, oh Gotama, as one might wash hand with hand, or foot with foot,
just even so, oh Gotama, is wisdom purified by uprightness, and
uprightness is purified by wisdom. Where there is uprightness, wisdom is
there, and where there is wisdom, uprightness is there. To the upright,
there is wisdom, to the wise there is uprightness, and wisdom and
goodness are declared to be the best thing in the world.’

22. `That is just so, oh Brahman. And I, too, say the same. But what, then, is that uprightness and what that wisdom?’

`We only know, oh Gotama, the general statement in this matter. May
the venerable Gotama be pleased to explain the meaning of the phrase.’

`Well then, oh Brahman give ear, and pay earnest attention, and I will speak.’

23.’ Very well, Sir,’ said Soõadaõóa in assent to the Blessed One. And the Blessed One said:

[Here follow the paragraphs 40Ý63 in the Sàma¤¤a phala Sutta above,
pp. 62-70 of the text; that is, the paragraph on the appearance of a
Buddha, his preaching, the conversion of the hearer, his renunciation of
the world, all the sãlas, and the paragraph on Confidence, 63. ]

`This also, oh Brahman, is that uprightness’ (sãla).

[Here follow the paragraphs on the Jhànas, beginning. [\q 157/] at So vivicc’eva kàmehi
in Section 75 Of the Sàma¤¤aphala down to the end of Section 82, then
the paragraphs on Insight arising from Knowledge, on the Mental Image,
on the Wondrous Gifts, on the Heavenly Ear, on Knowledge of the hearts
of others, on Memory of one’s own previous births, on the Divine Eye,
and on the Destruction of the Deadly Floods, all as in the
Sàma¤¤a-phala, 83-98 inclusive. ]

`This, oh Brahman, is that wisdom.’ [25]

24. When he had thus spoken, Soõadaõóa the Brahman, said to the Blessed One:

[125] `Most excellent, oh Gotama (are the words of thy mouth), most
excellent! Just as if a man were to set up that which has been thrown
down, or were to reveal that which has been hidden away, or were to
point out the right road to him who has gone astray, or were to bring a
light into the darkness so that those who had eyes could see external
formsÞjust even so has the truth been made known to me, in many a
figure, by the venerable Gotama. I, even I, betake myself to the
venerable Gotama as my guide, to the truth, and to the Order. And may
the venerable Gotama accept me as a disciple, as one who, from this day
forth, as long as life endures, has taken him as his guide. And may the
venerable Gotama grant me the favour of taking his tomorrow’s meal with
me, and also the members of the Order with him.’

Then the Blessed One signified, by silence, his consent. And
Soõadaõóa, on seeing that he had done so, arose from his seat and bowed
down before the Blessed [\q 158/] One, and walking round him with his
right hand towards him, departed thence. And at early dawn he made ready
at his house sweet food, both hard and soft, and had the time announced
to the Blessed One: `It is time, oh Gotama, and the meal is ready.’

25. Then the Blessed One, who had dressed in the early morning, put
on his outer robe, and taking his bowl with him, went with the brethren
to Soõadaõóa’s house, and sat down on the seat prepared for him. And
Soõadaõóa the Brahman satisfied the Blessed One, and the brethren, with
his own hand, with sweet food, both hard and soft, until they refused
any more. And when the Blessed One had finished his meal, and cleansed
the bowl and his hands, Soõadaõóa took a low seat, and sat down beside
him, and said:

26. `If, oh Gotama, after I have
entered the assembly, I should rise from my seat to bow down before the
venerable Gotama, then the assembly would find fault with me.
[26]
Now he with whom the assembly should find fault, his reputation would
grow less; and he who should lose his reputation, his income would grow
less. For that which we have to enjoy, that depends upon our reputation.
If then, when I am seated in the assembly, I stretch forth my joined
palms in salutation, let the venerable Gotama accept that from me as a
rising up from my seat. [126] And if when I am seated in the assembly I
take off my turban, let the venerable Gotama accept that from me as a
salutation with my head. So if, when I am in my chariot, I were to get
down from the chariot to salute the venerable Gotama, the surrounders
would find fault with me. If, then, when mounted on my chariot, I bend
down low the staff of my goad, let the venerable Gotama accept that from
me as if I had got down. And if, when mounted on my chariot, I should
wave [\q 159/] my hand, let the venerable Gotama accept that from me as
if I had bowed low in salutation!’
[27]

27. Then the Blessed One instructed and
roused and incited and gladdened Soõadaõóa the Brahman with religious
discourse, and then rose from his seat and departed thence.

Here ends the Soõadaõóa Sutta.



Notes

[1] See the summary above, PP. 57Ý59, in the Introduction to the Sàma¤¤a-phala.


[2]
The English equivalents do not exactly cover the corresponding Pàli
terms, which are not, in the texts, used always with scrupulous
distinctiveness.


[3] Section 23 of the text, and of the translation below.


[4] Vol. i, pp. 163-168.


[5] See below in the Introduction to the next Sutta.


[6]
Campà, the capital of Angà, was on the East bank of the river of the
same name (Jàt. IV, 454), which formed the Eastern boundary of Magadhà.
It was close to the modern Bagulpur, about Lat. 24′ 10′ by Long. 87′.
Like other names of famous places in India, it was used over again by
colonists in the Far East, and there means what we now call Cochin China
and Annam (I-Tsing, p. 58).


[7]
So called after Queen Gaggarà, who had had it excavated, says
Buddhaghosa (Sum. I, 279). He adds that on its banks was a grove of
champaka trees, so well-known for the fragrance of their beautiful white
flowers. It was under those trees that the wandering mendicants put up.


[8]
Sattussada. The meaning is really quite settled, though Fausb”ll
wrongly translates ussada `desire,’ and Oldenberg and myself `uneven,’
at S. N. 783 = Vin. I, 3. See No. 15 in the list of the thirty-two
marks. Also Jàt. IV, i88 = Dhp. A. 339; Jàt. IV, 6o = Dhp. A. 95; Jàt.
IV, 4; P. G. D. 22-44; Asl. 307.


[9] In the Buddha’s time Angà was subject to Magadhà.


[10] Perhaps in `companies and separately’; but I follow Buddhaghosa. Comp. M. I, 231; A. 11, 55.


[11] Brahma-vaccasã. With a body like that of Mahà Brahmà,’ says Buddhaghosa (p. 282). The Burmese and Siamese MSS. read vacchasã


[12] Akkhuddàvakàso, for which Buddhaghosa (pp. 282, 284) gives three contradictory explanations.


[13] Aneëagalàya. `Not slobbering,’ says Buddhaghosa.


[14]
`Eighty thousand families on the mother’s, and eighty thousand on the
father’s side,’ says BuddhaghosaÞmaking a total for the Sàkya clan of
800, 000, reckoning five to a family.


[15] Kamma-vàdã kiriya-vàdã. Compare `Vinaya Texts,’ II, 109, 112.


[16] âdãna-khattiya-kulà.
The reading is doubtful, and the Burmese MSS., after their constant
habit, have replaced it by an easy reading, abhinna-khattiya-kulà,
`unbroken Kshatriya family.’ But all the Sinhalese MSS. agree in reading
either àdina or àdãna; and if the reading had once been abhinna, it is
difficult to see how the alteration to the more difficult reading should
have occurred. Buddhaghosa skips the clause, which (if it was in the
text before him) is suggestive. He would scarcely have done so unless
the matter were really very simple. `Autonomous’ would make a good sense
in the context; but I have taken the word, in the sense of `primordial,
aboriginal,’ as being a derivative from àdi, in the same way as adhãna
is from adhi. This is simple enough; the only difficulty being, that the
word occurs nowhere else.


[17] Literally `anyhow’; `such as by wearing no clothes’ explains Buddhaghosa (p. 288).


[18] Puñaüsenàpi. Compare A. II, 183, where a precisely similar phrase occurs.


[19] Cittaü na àràdheyyaü, `win over his mind.’ Comp. M. I, 85, 34, 1; 11, 10; Mil. 25.


[20] That is, `officiate at a sacrifice by pouring out of a spoon a libation of butter, or of spirituous Soma, to the fire god.’


[21] Vaõõa, much the same as `caste,’ though that rendering is not strictly accurate. (See the Introduction to the Ambaññha. )


[22] The full text is repeated, both here and in the following sections.


[23]
This name looks suspiciously like a kind of personification of the five
Aïgas (the five characteristics) of the true Brahman as just above, 13,
set out.


[24]
Oldenberg renders this (`Buddha,’ P. 283) as follows: `The wisdom of
the upright and the uprightness of the wise have, of all uprightness and
wisdom in the world, the highest value.’ I cannot see how this can be
grammatically justified; though the sentiment is admirable enough, and
would have somewhat relieved the monotony of the paragraph. On pa¤¤àna as nominative, not genitive, see, for instance, S. I, 41, 42; Sum. 1, 171, 290; A. IV, 342.


[25]
The repetition here is nearly the same as that in the Ambaññha Sutta,
summarised above at the translation of p. 100 of the text. The only
difference is that the paragraphs 64-74 of the Sàma¤¤a-phala there
included as coming under Caraõa (Conduct) are here included under sãla (Uprightness). The jhànas, there put, not under vijjà, (Wisdom), but under Caraõa, are here put, not under sãla, but under pa¤¤à (Intelligence). In other words pa¤¤à includes all that was there included under vijjà, and the four jhànas besides. But sãla includes all that is put in the Ambaññha under sãlaÞall indeed of the eight divisions of sãla as summarised above, pp. 57-59. See Buddhaghosa’s notes at pp. 219, 268, 292.


[26]
On the ground, says Buddhaghosa (p. 292), that he would be saluting a
much younger man, one young enough to be his grandson. If this tradition
be correct, it would follow that this Sutta must be describing events
very early in the public ministry of the Buddha.


[27]
It will be seen from this section that Soõadaõóa is represented as
being a convert only to a limited extent. He still keeps on his school
of Vedic studies, and is keenly anxious to retain the good opinion of
his students, and of other Brahmans. And if that part of the Buddha’s
doctrine put before him in this Sutta be examined, it will be found to
be, with perhaps one or two exceptions, quite compatible with the best
Brahman views. No doubt if every detail were carried to its strict
logical conclusion there would be no further need for Vedic studies,
except from the historical standpoint. But those details are, on the
face of them ethical. They belong to a plane not touched on in the then
Vedic studies. They could be accepted by an adherent of the soul theory
of life. And the essential doctrines of BuddhismÞthe Path, the Truths,
and ArahatshipÞare barely even referred to.
