Nāgitasutta untranslated

01. Nāgitasutta 01 untranslated

Nāgitasutta 01. Once, when the Buddha went to Icchānaṅgala, the Brahmin householders there came, in large numbers, to pay him their respects and made great uproar outside. When Nāgita, the Buddha’s personal attendant at the time, told him the cause of the clamour, the Buddha replied that he had nothing to do with homage; his concern was with renunciation. He went on to state five inevitable things: whosoever eats and drinks must answer the calls of nature; whosoever loves is destined to sorrow and despair; whosoever dwells on the asubha must feel disgust for the subha; whosoever sees impermanence in the six spheres of contact feels disgust for contact; whosoever sees the rise and fall in the five kinds of attachment, must feel disgust for attachment. AN.iii.31ff.

02. Nāgitasutta 02 untranslated

Nāgitasutta 02. The circumstances are the same as those of No. 1. The Buddha tells Nāgita that he is pleased with monks who do not live in the village, but who seek the forest and stave off gains and flattery, but to him the best is to walk on the highway unattached. AN.iii.341ff.; cp. ibid., iv.341ff.
