5 - Balavagga, The Fool
14 - Cittagahapati Vatthu
14 - Cittagahapati Vatthu
Asantam bhavanamiccheyya,
purekkharanca bhikkhusu;
avasesu ca issariyam,
pujam parakulesu ca.
Mameva kata mannantu,
gihi pabbajita ubho;
mamevativasa assu,
kiccakiccesu kismici;
iti balassa sankappo,
iccha mano ca vaddhati.
73: The foolish bhikkhu desires praise for qualities he does not have, precedence among bhikkhus, authority in the monasteries, and veneration from those unrelated to him.
74: "Let both laymen and bhikkhus think that things are done because of me; let them obey me in all matters, great and small." Such being the thoughts of the fool, his greed and his pride grow.
