[100] 6. Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Sāvatthī, in Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park. Now on that occasion the Venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja was seated not far from the Blessed One, having folded his legs crosswise and set his body erect — a forest-dweller (āraññaka), an almsfood-eater (piṇḍapātika), a wearer of rag-robes (paṃsukūlika), a wearer of no more than the three robes (tecīvarika), of few wishes, content, secluded, aloof from company, of aroused energy (vīriya), an exponent of the ascetic practices (dhutavāda), devoted to the higher mind (adhicitta). The Blessed One saw the Venerable Piṇḍolabhāradvāja seated not far away, having folded his legs crosswise and set his body erect — a forest-dweller, an almsfood-eater, a wearer of rag-robes, a wearer of no more than the three robes, of few wishes, content, secluded, aloof from company, of aroused energy, an exponent of the ascetic practices, devoted to the higher mind.
Then the Blessed One, having understood the meaning of this, on that occasion uttered this inspired utterance (udāna):
Not insulting, not harming,
and restraint in the Pātimokkha;
moderation in food,
and a secluded bed and seat;
and application to the higher mind —
this is the teaching of the Buddhas.
The sixth.
