Dwelling at the Root of a Tree

Rukkhamūlikasutta

EN
“Mendicants, there are these five who dwell at the root of a tree. What five? One may dwell at the root of a tree because of stupidity … corrupt wishes … madness … because it is praised by the Buddhas … or for the sake of having few wishes … These are the five who dwell at the root of a tree.”
PL
“Pañcime, bhikkhave, rukkhamūlikā. Katame pañca? Mandattā momūhattā rukkhamūliko hoti …pe… idamatthitaṁyeva nissāya rukkhamūliko hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca rukkhamūlikā”ti.
PL
Tatiyaṁ.
