mn97:2.1 Now at that time Venerable Sāriputta was wandering in the Southern Hills together with a large Saṅgha of mendicants.
BAGIAN 2
mn97:2.2 Then a certain mendicant who had completed the rainy season residence in Rājagaha went to the Southern Hills, where he approached Venerable Sāriputta, and exchanged greetings with him.
mn97:2.3 When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side. Sāriputta said to him,
mn97:2.4 “Reverend, I hope the Buddha is healthy and strong?”
mn97:2.5 “He is, reverend.”
mn97:2.6 “And I hope that the mendicant Saṅgha is healthy and strong.”
mn97:2.7 “It is.”
mn97:2.8 “Reverend, at the rice checkpoint at the city gate there is a brahmin named Dhanañjāni.
mn97:2.9 I hope that he is healthy and strong?”
mn97:2.10 “He too is well.”
mn97:2.11 “But is he diligent?”
mn97:2.12 “How could he possibly be diligent?
mn97:2.13 Dhanañjāni robs the brahmins and householders in the name of the king, and he robs the king in the name of the brahmins and householders.
mn97:2.14 His wife, a lady of faith who he married from a family of faith, has passed away.
mn97:2.15 And he has taken a new wife who has no faith.”
mn97:2.16 “Oh, it’s bad news
mn97:2.17 to hear that Dhanañjāni is negligent.
mn97:2.18 Hopefully, some time or other I’ll get to meet him, and we can have a discussion.”
