Cātumasutta untranslated
Cātumasutta. Preached at the Amalakīvana in Cātumā. Some new members of the Saṅgha, dwelling near the Buddha, made so much noise that they were summoned and asked to leave at once. But the Sākiyans of Cātumā and Brahma Sahampati interceded on their behalf and they were allowed to return.
The Buddha then preached to them that just as four terrors await the man who enters the water –
- waves,
- crocodiles,
- whirlpools
- and sharks –
so are there four terrors awaiting the monk –
- temper,
- gluttony,
- the pleasures of the senses
- and women. MN.i.456ff; on this see Mil.209.
Cātumā. A Sākiyan village containing a mote-hall; near it was the Amalakīvana where the Buddha once stayed and preached the Cātumasutta (MN.i.456f.; MNa.ii.660).
