Sakka In Name OnlySakkanāmasutta

At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, on the Vulture’s Peak Mountain.Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā rājagahe viharati gijjhakūṭe pabbate.

Then a spirit who was Sakka in name only went up to the Buddha, and addressed him in verse:Atha kho sakkanāmako yakkho yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:

“You’ve given up all ties,“Sabbaganthappahīnassa, and are fully freed.vippamuttassa te sato; It’s not a good idea for you, ascetic,Samaṇassa na taṁ sādhu, to be instructing others.”yadaññamanusāsasī”ti.

“No matter how you explain why“Yena kenaci vaṇṇena, people gather together, Sakka,saṁvāso sakka jāyati; it’s unworthy for a wise personNa taṁ arahati sappañño, not to think of the other with sympathy.manasā anukampituṁ.

If you instruct othersManasā ce pasannena, with a mind clear and confident,yadaññamanusāsati; your compassion and empathyNa tena hoti saṁyutto, don’t create attachments.”yānukampā anuddayā”ti.
