Madhurāsutta

EN
“Mendicants, there are these five drawbacks of Madhurā. What five? The ground is uneven and dusty, the hounds are fierce, the native spirits are vicious, and it’s hard to get almsfood. These are the five drawbacks of Madhurā.”
PL
“Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā madhurāyaṁ. Katame pañca? Visamā, bahurajā, caṇḍasunakhā, vāḷayakkhā, dullabhapiṇḍā. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā madhurāyan”ti.
PL
Dasamaṁ. Akkosakavaggo dutiyo. Tassuddānaṁ Akkosabhaṇḍanasīlaṁ,
PL
bahubhāṇī dve akhantiyo; Apāsādikā dve vuttā, aggismiṁ madhurena cāti.
