AN 10.12

Pañcaṅgasutta

“Pañcaṅgavippahīno, bhikkhave, bhikkhu pañcaṅgasamannāgato imasmiṁ dhammavinaye ‘kevalī vusitavā uttamapuriso’ti vuccati. Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu pañcaṅgavippahīno hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno kāmacchando pahīno hoti, byāpādo pahīno hoti, thinamiddhaṁ pahīnaṁ hoti, uddhaccakukkuccaṁ pahīnaṁ hoti, vicikicchā pahīnā hoti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu pañcaṅgavippahīno hoti.

Five Factors

“Mendicants, in this teaching and training a mendicant who has given up five factors and possesses five factors is called consummate, accomplished, a supreme person. And how has a mendicant given up five factors? It’s when a mendicant has given up sensual desire, ill will, dullness and drowsiness, restlessness and remorse, and doubt. That’s how a mendicant has given up five factors.

Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu pañcaṅgasamannāgato hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu asekhena sīlakkhandhena samannāgato hoti, asekhena samādhikkhandhena samannāgato hoti, asekhena paññākkhandhena samannāgato hoti, asekhena vimuttikkhandhena samannāgato hoti, asekhena vimuttiñāṇadassanakkhandhena samannāgato hoti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu pañcaṅgasamannāgato hoti.

And how does a mendicant have five factors? It’s when a mendicant has the entire spectrum of an adept’s ethics, immersion, wisdom, freedom, and knowledge and vision of freedom. That’s how a mendicant has five factors.

Pañcaṅgavippahīno kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu pañcaṅgasamannāgato imasmiṁ dhammavinaye ‘kevalī vusitavā uttamapuriso’ti vuccati.

In this teaching and training a mendicant who has given up five factors and possesses five factors is called consummate, accomplished, a supreme person.

Kāmacchando ca byāpādo, thinamiddhañca bhikkhuno; Uddhaccaṁ vicikicchā ca, sabbasova na vijjati.

Sensual desire, ill will, dullness and drowsiness, restlessness, and doubt are not found in a mendicant at all.

Asekhena ca sīlena, asekhena samādhinā; Vimuttiyā ca sampanno, ñāṇena ca tathāvidho.

That sort are accomplished in an adept’s ethics, an adept’s immersion, and freedom and knowledge.

Sa ve pañcaṅgasampanno, pañca aṅge vivajjayaṁ; Imasmiṁ dhammavinaye, kevalī iti vuccatī”ti.

Possessing these five factors, and rid of five factors, in this teaching and training they’re called ‘consummate’.”
