1.5.1
Atha kho bhagavā vassakāraṃ brāhmaṇaṃ magadhamahāmattaṃ āmantesi:
Then the Buddha said to Vassakāra,
1.5.2
“ekamidāhaṃ, brāhmaṇa, samayaṃ vesāliyaṃ viharāmi sārandade cetiye.
“Brahmin, this one time I was staying near Vesālī at the Sārandada Shrine.
1.5.3
Tatrāhaṃ vajjīnaṃ ime satta aparihāniye dhamme desesiṃ.
There I taught the Vajjis these seven principles that prevent decline.
1.5.4
Yāvakīvañca, brāhmaṇa, ime satta aparihāniyā dhammā vajjīsu ṭhassanti, imesu ca sattasu aparihāniyesu dhammesu vajjī sandississanti, vuddhiyeva, brāhmaṇa, vajjīnaṃ pāṭikaṅkhā, no parihānī”ti.
As long as these seven principles that prevent decline last among the Vajjis, and as long as the Vajjis are seen following them, they can expect growth, not decline.”

Evaṃ vutte, vassakāro brāhmaṇo magadhamahāmatto bhagavantaṃ etadavoca:
When the Buddha had spoken, Vassakāra said to him,
1.5.6
“ekamekenapi, bho gotama, aparihāniyena dhammena samannāgatānaṃ vajjīnaṃ vuddhiyeva pāṭikaṅkhā, no parihāni.
“Worthy Gotama, if the Vajjis follow even a single one of these principles they can expect growth, not decline.
1.5.7
Ko pana vādo sattahi aparihāniyehi dhammehi.
How much more so all seven!
1.5.8
Akaraṇīyāva, bho gotama, vajjī raññā māgadhena ajātasattunā vedehiputtena yadidaṃ yuddhassa, aññatra upalāpanāya aññatra mithubhedā.
King Ajātasattu cannot defeat the Vajjis in war, unless by bribery or by sowing dissension.
1.5.9
Handa ca dāni mayaṃ, bho gotama, gacchāma, bahukiccā mayaṃ bahukaraṇīyā”ti.
Well, now, worthy Gotama, I must go. I have many duties, and much to do.”
1.5.10
“Yassadāni tvaṃ, brāhmaṇa, kālaṃ maññasī”ti.
“Please, brahmin, go at your convenience.”
1.5.11
Atha kho vassakāro brāhmaṇo magadhamahāmatto bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinanditvā anumoditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkāmi.
Then Vassakāra the brahmin, having approved and agreed with what the Buddha said, rose from his seat and left.
