3.1
Atha kho bhagavā vāseṭṭhaṃ āmantesi:
Then the Buddha said to Vāseṭṭha,
3.2
“tumhe khvattha, vāseṭṭha, brāhmaṇajaccā brāhmaṇakulīnā brāhmaṇakulā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitā, kacci vo, vāseṭṭha, brāhmaṇā na akkosanti na paribhāsantī”ti?
“Vāseṭṭha, you are both brahmins by birth and family, and have gone forth from the lay life to homelessness from a brahmin family. I hope you don’t have to suffer abuse and insults from the brahmins.”
3.3
“Taggha no, bhante, brāhmaṇā akkosanti paribhāsanti attarūpāya paribhāsāya paripuṇṇāya, no aparipuṇṇāyā”ti.
“Actually, sir, the brahmins do insult and abuse us with their typical insults to the fullest extent, holding nothing back.”
3.4
“Yathā kathaṃ pana vo, vāseṭṭha, brāhmaṇā akkosanti paribhāsanti attarūpāya paribhāsāya paripuṇṇāya, no aparipuṇṇāyā”ti?
“But how do the brahmins insult you?”
3.5
“Brāhmaṇā, bhante, evamāhaṃsu:
“Sir, the brahmins say:
3.6
‘brāhmaṇova seṭṭho vaṇṇo, hīnā aññe vaṇṇā.
‘Only brahmins are the best class; other classes are inferior.
3.7
Brāhmaṇova sukko vaṇṇo, kaṇhā aññe vaṇṇā.
Only brahmins are the light class; other classes are dark.
3.8
Brāhmaṇāva sujjhanti, no abrāhmaṇā.
Only brahmins are purified, not others.
3.9
Brāhmaṇāva brahmuno puttā orasā mukhato jātā brahmajā brahmanimmitā brahmadāyādā.
Only brahmins are the Divinity’s bosom sons, born from his mouth, born of the Divinity, created by the Divinity, heirs of the Divinity.
3.10
Te tumhe seṭṭhaṃ vaṇṇaṃ hitvā hīnamattha vaṇṇaṃ ajjhupagatā, yadidaṃ muṇḍake samaṇake ibbhe kaṇhe bandhupādāpacce.
You’ve both abandoned the best class to join an inferior class, namely these shavelings, fake ascetics, primitives, black spawn from the feet of our kinsman.
3.11
Tayidaṃ na sādhu, tayidaṃ nappatirūpaṃ, yaṃ tumhe seṭṭhaṃ vaṇṇaṃ hitvā hīnamattha vaṇṇaṃ ajjhupagatā yadidaṃ muṇḍake samaṇake ibbhe kaṇhe bandhupādāpacce’ti.
This is not right, it’s not proper!’
3.12
Evaṃ kho no, bhante, brāhmaṇā akkosanti paribhāsanti attarūpāya paribhāsāya paripuṇṇāya, no aparipuṇṇāyā”ti.
That’s how the brahmins insult us.”
