2.10.1
Yato kho, bhaggava, jāliyo dārupattikantevāsī imināpi opammena neva asakkhi acelaṃ pāthikaputtaṃ tamhā āsanā cāvetuṃ.
When Jāliya couldn’t get Pāṭikaputta to shift from his seat even with this simile,
2.10.2
Atha naṃ etadavoca:
he said to him:
2.10.3
‘Bhutvāna bheke khalamūsikāyo,
‘Gorged on frogs, and mice from the barn,
2.10.4
Kaṭasīsu khittāni ca koṇapāni;
and carcasses tossed in the cemetery,
2.10.5
Mahāvane suññavane vivaḍḍho,
thriving in the great, empty wood,
2.10.6
Amaññi kotthu migarājāhamasmi;
the jackal presumed “I’m the king of the beasts!”
2.10.7
Tatheva so siṅgālakaṃ anadi,
But he actually only managed to yelp,
2.10.8
Ke ca chave siṅgāle ke pana sīhanādeti.
and what’s a sad jackal’s squeal to the roar of a lion?
2.10.9
Evameva kho tvaṃ, āvuso pāthikaputta, sugatāpadānesu jīvamāno sugatātirittāni bhuñjamāno tathāgate arahante sammāsambuddhe āsādetabbaṃ maññasi.
In the same way, reverend, while living off the leavings of the Holy One, enjoying the leftovers of the Holy One, you presume to attack the Realized One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha!
2.10.10
Ke ca chave pāthikaputte, kā ca tathāgatānaṃ arahantānaṃ sammāsambuddhānaṃ āsādanā’ti.
Who are the pathetic Pāṭikaputtas to attack the Realized Ones, the perfected ones, the fully awakened Buddhas?’
