He does not hear what he has not heard; he does not clarify what he has heard; he is not confident about some portion of what he has heard; he contracts a severe illness and affliction; and he is without friends. These, bhikkhus, are the five dangers for one who dwells devoted to lengthy wandering, to aimless wandering. Bhikkhus, there are these five benefits (ānisaṃsā) in wandering with a settled purpose.

He hears what he has not heard; he clarifies what he has heard; he is confident about some portion of what he has heard; he does not contract a severe illness and affliction; and he has friends.
