Jetavana sutta: Jeta’s Grove

Jetavanasutta

Ādittavagga

Verses in praise of the Jetavana monastery, the Dhamma, and venerable Sāriputta, apparently spoken by the deity Anāthapiṇḍika.

“This is indeed that Jeta’s Grove,
frequented by the Saṅgha of seers,

where the King of Dhamma stayed:

it brings me joy!

Deeds, knowledge, and principle;
ethical conduct, an excellent livelihood;

by these are mortals purified,

not by clan or wealth.

That’s why an astute person,
seeing what’s good for themselves,

would examine the teaching rationally,

that’s how they become purified in that.

Sāriputta is full of wisdom,
ethics, and peace.

Even a mendicant who has crossed over

might at best equal him.”
