Ekamantaį¹ į¹hitÄ kho sÄ devatÄ bhagavato santike imaį¹ gÄthaį¹ abhÄsi: Standing to one side, that deity spoke this verse in the Buddhaās presence: Standing to one side, that devatÄ recited this verse in the presence of the Blessed One:
āKati jÄgarataį¹ suttÄ, āHow many sleep among the waking? āHow many are asleep when others are awake?
kati suttesu jÄgarÄ; How many wake among the sleeping? How many are awake when others sleep?
Katibhi rajamÄdeti, By how many do you gather dust? By how many does one gather dust?
katibhi parisujjhatÄ«āti. By how many are you cleansed?ā By how many is one purified?ā
āPaƱca jÄgarataį¹ suttÄ, āFive sleep among the waking. This verse is found in IsibhÄsiyÄiį¹ 29.2, where it is attributed to the Jain VardhamÄna MahÄvÄ«ra. His explanation there takes the āfiveā as the senses, which for the āwakingā sages are āasleepā (i.e. restrained), while the unawakened āsleepā in ignorance while their āawakenedā senses run riot. The Pali commentaries, on the other hand, take them as the five spiritual faculties on the side of awakening, in contrast with the five hindrances.āFive are asleep when others are awake;
paƱca suttesu jÄgarÄ; Five wake among the sleeping. Five are awake when others sleep.
PaƱcabhi rajamÄdeti, By five you gather dust. By five things one gathers dust,
paƱcabhi parisujjhatÄ«āti. By five youāre cleansed.ā By five things one is purified. ā
