9.Evaṃ me sutaṃ – ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā gayāyaṃ viharati gayāsīse.
|
I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying near Gayā at Gayā Head.

Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā jaṭilā sītāsu hemantikāsu rattīsu antaraṭṭhake himapātasamaye gayāyaṃ ummujjantipi nimujjantipi, ummujjanimujjampi karonti osiñcantipi, aggimpi juhanti – "iminā suddhī"ti.
|
And on that occasion, many ascetics–on the cold winter nights of the “Between-the-Eights,”1 when the snow was falling in Gayā–jumped up in the water, jumped down in the water, did a jumping-up-&-down in the water, poured (water over themselves), and performed the fire sacrifice, (thinking,) “Through this there is purity.”

Atha kho bhagavā etamatthaṃ viditvā tāyaṃ velāyaṃ imaṃ udānaṃ udānesi –
|
Then, on realizing the significance of that, the Blessed One on that occasion exclaimed:
|
|
|
"Na udakena sucī hotī, bahvettha nhāyatī [nahāyatī (sī.)] jano;
|
Not by water is one clean, though many people are bathing here.
|

|
Yamhi saccañca dhammo ca, so sucī so ca brāhmaṇo"ti. navamaṃ;
|
Whoever has truth & rectitude: He’s a clean one; he, a brahman.2
