11.1
Puna caparaṃ, nigrodha, tapassī aññataraṃ samaṇaṃ vā brāhmaṇaṃ vā apasādetā hoti:
Furthermore, a mortifier rebukes a certain ascetic or brahmin,
11.2
‘kiṃ panāyaṃ sambahulājīvo sabbaṃ sambhakkheti.
‘What is it with this one living in abundance, devouring everything—
11.3
Seyyathidaṃ—mūlabījaṃ khandhabījaṃ phaḷubījaṃ aggabījaṃ bījabījameva pañcamaṃ, asanivicakkaṃ dantakūṭaṃ, samaṇappavādenā’ti …pe…
plants propagated from roots, trunks, cuttings, or joints; and those from regular seeds as the fifth. According to this ascetic’s doctrine, the crown of the tooth is forked lightning!’
11.4
ayampi kho, nigrodha, tapassino upakkileso hoti.
This too is a defect in that mortifier.
11.5
Puna caparaṃ, nigrodha, tapassī passati aññataraṃ samaṇaṃ vā brāhmaṇaṃ vā kulesu sakkariyamānaṃ garukariyamānaṃ māniyamānaṃ pūjiyamānaṃ.
Furthermore, a mortifier sees a certain ascetic or brahmin being honored, respected, esteemed, and venerated among good families.
11.6
Disvā tassa evaṃ hoti:
They think,
11.7
‘imañhi nāma sambahulājīvaṃ kulesu sakkaronti garuṃ karonti mānenti pūjenti.
‘This one, who lives in abundance, is honored, respected, esteemed, and venerated among good families.
11.8
Maṃ pana tapassiṃ lūkhājīviṃ kulesu na sakkaronti na garuṃ karonti na mānenti na pūjentī’ti, iti so issāmacchariyaṃ kulesu uppādetā hoti …pe…
But I, a fervent mortifier who lives rough, am not honored, respected, esteemed, and venerated among good families.’ Thus they give rise to jealousy and stinginess regarding families.

‘idampi me tapasmiṃ idampi me tapasmin’ti …pe…
‘This is part of my mortification; this is part of my mortification.’
11.14
ayampi kho, nigrodha, tapassino upakkileso hoti.
This too is a defect in that mortifier.
11.15
Puna caparaṃ, nigrodha, tapassī kiñcideva paṭicchannaṃ sevati.

When asked whether something is acceptable to them, they say it is, even though it isn’t.
11.17
Khamamānaṃ āha: ‘nakkhamatī’ti.
Or they say it isn’t, even though it is.
