Paṭhamabrahmacariyasuttaṃ Leading a Holy Life and the Fruits thereof
Sāvatthinidānaṃ. This was laid down in Sāvatthi.
“Brahmacariyañca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi,
brahmacariyaphalāni ca.
“I will teach you, Bhikkhus, what is the holy life
and what are the fruits of the holy life.
Taṃ suṇātha. Katamañca,
bhikkhave, brahmacariyaṃ?
Therefore listen! What,
Bhikkhus, is the holy life?
Ayameva ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo, seyyathidaṃ–
sammādiṭṭhi …pe… sammāsamādhi.
It is this very Noble Eightfold Path, which is
right view, … right concentration.
Idaṃ vuccati, bhikkhave, brahmacariyaṃ. This is, Bhikkhus, what is called the holy life.
Katamāni ca, bhikkhave, brahmacariyaphalāni? What, Bhikkhus, are the fruits of the holy life?
Sotāpattiphalaṃ,
sakadāgāmiphalaṃ,
anāgāmi
phalaṃ, arahattaphalaṃ.
These are the fruit of entering the stream,
the fruit of once-returning,
the fruit of non-returning and
the fruit of becoming an arahant.
imāni vuccanti, bhikkhave,
brahmacariyaphalānī”ti.
These, Bhikkhus, are the fruits of the holy life.”

Sāvatthinidānaṃ. This was laid down in Sāvatthi.
“Brahmacariyañca vo, bhikkhave,
desessāmi, brahmacariyatthañca.
Taṃ suṇātha.
“I will teach you, Bhikkhus, what is the holy life
and what is the purpose of the holy life.
Therefore listen!
Katamañca, bhikkhave, brahmacariyaṃ? What, Bhikkhus, is the holy life?
Ayameva ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo, seyyathidaṃ–
sammādiṭṭhi …pe… sammāsamādhi
It is this very Noble Eightfold Path, which is
right view, … right concentration.
Idaṃ vuccati, bhikkhave, brahmacariyaṃ. This is, Bhikkhus, what is called the holy life.
Katamo ca, bhikkhave, brahmacariyattho? What, Bhikkhus, is the purpose of the holy life?
Yo kho, bhikkhave, rāgakkhayo
dosakkhayo mohakkhayo.
It is the destruction of craving, the destruction
of ill-will and the destruction of delusion.
ayaṃ vuccati, bhikkhave, brahmacariyattho”ti. This, Bhikkhus, is the purpose of the holy life.”
