‘Yathā vā paneke bhonto samaṇabrāhmaṇā saddhādeyyāni bhojanāni bhuñjitvā te evarūpaṃ dūteyyapahiṇagamanānuyogaṃ anuyuttā viharanti,
‘There are some ascetics and brahmins who, while enjoying food given in faith, still engage in running errands and messages.
1.19.2
seyyathidaṃ—raññaṃ, rājamahāmattānaṃ, khattiyānaṃ, brāhmaṇānaṃ, gahapatikānaṃ, kumārānaṃ “idha gaccha, amutrāgaccha, idaṃ hara, amutra idaṃ āharā”ti
This includes running errands for rulers, ministers, aristocrats, brahmins, householders, or princes who say: “Go here, go there. Take this, bring that from there.”
1.19.3
iti vā iti evarūpā dūteyyapahiṇagamanānuyogā paṭivirato samaṇo gotamo’ti—
The ascetic Gotama refrains from such errands.’
1.19.4
iti vā hi, bhikkhave, puthujjano tathāgatassa vaṇṇaṃ vadamāno vadeyya.
Such is an ordinary person’s praise of the Realized One.
