Roots of Dispute (2nd)

“Kati nu kho, bhante, vivādamūlānī”ti?

“Sir, how many roots of dispute are there?”

“Dasa kho, upāli, vivādamūlāni.

“Upāli, there are ten roots of disputes.

Katamāni dasa?

What ten?

Idhupāli, bhikkhū anāpattiṁ āpattīti dīpenti, āpattiṁ anāpattīti dīpenti, lahukaṁ āpattiṁ garukāpattīti dīpenti, garukaṁ āpattiṁ lahukāpattīti dīpenti, duṭṭhullaṁ āpattiṁ aduṭṭhullāpattīti dīpenti, aduṭṭhullaṁ āpattiṁ duṭṭhullāpattīti dīpenti, sāvasesaṁ āpattiṁ anavasesāpattīti dīpenti, anavasesaṁ āpattiṁ sāvasesāpattīti dīpenti, sappaṭikammaṁ āpattiṁ appaṭikammāpattīti dīpenti, appaṭikammaṁ āpattiṁ sappaṭikammāpattīti dīpenti.

It’s when a mendicant explains what is not an offense as an offense, and what is an offense as not an offense. They explain a light offense as a heavy offense, and a heavy offense as a light offense. They explain a grave offense as a minor offense, and a minor offense as a grave offense. They explain a curable offense as an incurable offense, and an incurable offense as a curable offense. They explain an offense requiring amends as an offense not requiring amends, and an offense not requiring amends as an offense requiring amends.

Imāni kho, upāli, dasa vivādamūlānī”ti.

These are the ten roots of dispute.”

Tatiyaṁ.
