Saį¹…gahasutta Inclusion

ā€œCattārimāni, bhikkhave, saį¹…gahavatthÅ«ni. ā€œMendicants, there are these four ways of being inclusive.

Katamāni cattāri? What four?

Dānaṁ, peyyavajjaṁ, atthacariyā, samānattatā—Giving, kindly words, taking care, and equality.

Imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri saį¹…gahavatthÅ«nÄ«ti. These are the four ways of being inclusive.

DānaƱca peyyavajjaƱca, Giving and kindly words,

atthacariyā ca yā idha; taking care here,

Samānattatā ca dhammesu, and treating equally in worldly conditions,

tattha tattha yathārahaṁ; as they deserve in each case.

Ete kho saį¹…gahā loke, These ways of being inclusive in the world

rathassāṇīva yāyato. are like a moving chariot’s linchpin.

Ete ca saį¹…gahā nāssu, If there were no such ways of being inclusive,

na mātā puttakāraṇā; neither mother nor father

Labhetha mānaṁ pūjaṁ vā, would be respected and honored

pitā vā puttakāraṇā. for what they’ve done for their children.

Yasmā ca saį¹…gahā ete, But since these ways of being inclusive do exist,

samavekkhanti paį¹‡įøitā; the astute do regard them well,

Tasmā mahattaṁ papponti, so they achieve greatness

pāsaṁsā ca bhavanti teā€ti. and are praised.ā€

Dutiyaṁ.
