1.11.1
Ekamidāhaṃ, bhaggava, samayaṃ vesāliyaṃ viharāmi mahāvane kūṭāgārasālāyaṃ.
This one time, Bhaggava, I was staying near Vesālī, at the Great Wood, in the hall with the peaked roof.
1.11.2
Tena kho pana samayena acelo kaḷāramaṭṭako vesāliyaṃ paṭivasati lābhaggappatto ceva yasaggappatto ca vajjigāme.
Now at that time the naked ascetic Kaḷāramaṭṭaka was residing in Vesālī. And in the Vajjian capital he had reached the peak of material things and fame.
1.11.3
Tassa sattavatapadāni samattāni samādinnāni honti:
He had undertaken these seven vows.
1.11.4
‘yāvajīvaṃ acelako assaṃ, na vatthaṃ paridaheyyaṃ, yāvajīvaṃ brahmacārī assaṃ, na methunaṃ dhammaṃ paṭiseveyyaṃ, yāvajīvaṃ surāmaṃseneva yāpeyyaṃ, na odanakummāsaṃ bhuñjeyyaṃ.
‘As long as I live, I will be a naked ascetic, not wearing clothes. As long as I live, I will be chaste, not having sex. As long as I live, I will consume only meat and beer, not eating rice and porridge.
1.11.5
Puratthimena vesāliṃ udenaṃ nāma cetiyaṃ, taṃ nātikkameyyaṃ, dakkhiṇena vesāliṃ gotamakaṃ nāma cetiyaṃ, taṃ nātikkameyyaṃ, pacchimena vesāliṃ sattambaṃ nāma cetiyaṃ, taṃ nātikkameyyaṃ, uttarena vesāliṃ bahuputtaṃ nāma cetiyaṃ taṃ nātikkameyyan’ti.
And I will not go past the following shrines near Vesālī: the Udena Shrine to the east, the Gotamaka to the south, the Seven Maidens to the west, and the Many Sons to the north.’
1.11.6
So imesaṃ sattannaṃ vatapadānaṃ samādānahetu lābhaggappatto ceva yasaggappatto ca vajjigāme.
And it was due to undertaking these seven vows that he had reached the peak of material things and fame.
