      [00:00.1] ##### <i>from the Amarvati Buddhist Monastery</i>
      <hr />
      [00:00.3] [ Ha^nda mayaṃ taṅkhaṇika-paccav`ekkhaṇa-pāṭhaṃ bhaṇāmase ]

      [00:05.1] [ Paṭisaṅkhā ] yoniso cīv`araṃ p`aṭis^evāmi,

      [00:12.8] yāvadeva s^ītass`a p`aṭighātāya,

      [00:19.4] uṇhassa p`aṭighātāya,

      [00:23.5] ḍaṃsa-mak`as`a-vātāt`ap`a-siriṃsapa--samphassānaṃ p`aṭighātāya,

      [00:33.2] yāvadeva hir^ikopina-p`aṭicchād`anatthaṃ

      [00:40.1]  Wisely reflecting, I use th`e robe:

      [00:43.6]  only to ward `off cold,

      [00:46.8]  to ward `off heat,

      [00:49.0]  to ward off the touch o`f flies, m`osquitoes, wind, b`urn`ing and cr^eeping things,

      [00:56.3]  only for the s^ake of m`odesty.

      [00:59.9] [ Paṭisaṅkhā ] yoniso piṇḍ`apātaṃ p`aṭis^evāmi,

      [01:07.7] neva d`avāya, na m`adāya, na maṇḍ`anāya, n`a v^ibhūs`anāya,

      [01:16.2] yāvadeva ^imass`a kāyass`a ṭh`itiyā, yāp`anāya, vihiṃs`ūpar^at`iyā, brahmac`ar^iyānugg`ahāya,

      [01:30.5] iti purāṇañc`a ved^anaṃ p`aṭih^aṅkhāmi, navañc`a ved^anaṃ na uppādessāmi,

      [01:41.6] yātrā c`a me bhavissati `anavajjatā c`a phāsuvihāro cā’ti

      [01:51.0]  Wisely reflecting, I use `almsfood:

      [01:55.1]  not f`or fun, not for pl`easure, not for f`attening, not for beautific^ation,

      [02:04.3]  only for th`e maintenance and n^ourishment of this b`ody,

      [02:09.5]  for keeping it h`ealthy, for helping with the H^oly Life;

      [02:15.3]  think`ing thus, ‘I will allay h^unger without over`eating, so that I may c`ontinue to live bl^amelessly and `at ease.’

      [02:27.2] [ Paṭisaṅkhā ] yoniso senās`anaṃ p`aṭis^evāmi,

      [02:35.3] yāvadeva s^ītass`a p`aṭighātāya,

      [02:41.2] uṇhassa p`aṭighātāya,

      [02:45.1] ḍaṃsa-mak`as`a-vātāt`ap`a-siriṃsapa--samphassānaṃ p`aṭighātāya,

      [02:54.4] yāvadeva utup`arissaya v`inodanaṃ p`aṭis^allānārāmatthaṃ

      [03:04.2]  Wisely reflecting, I use the l`odging:

      [03:08.4]  only to ward `off cold,

      [03:11.0]  to ward `off  heat,

      [03:12.9]  to ward off the touch `of flies, m`osquitoes, wind, b`urn`ing and cr^eeping things,

      [03:20.3]  only to remove th`e danger from w`eather,

      [03:24.0]  and f`or living in secl^usion.

      [03:27.5] [ Paṭisaṅkhā ] yoniso g`ilāna-pacc`ay`a-bhesajja-p`arikkhāraṃ p`aṭis^evāmi,

      [03:38.4] yāvadeva upp^annānaṃ veyyābādh`ikānaṃ ved`anānaṃ p`aṭighātāya,

      [03:49.8] `abyāpajjha-p`aramatāyā’ti

      [03:54.9]  Wisely reflecting, I use s`upports for the sick and m`edicinal r^equisites:

      [04:01.9]  only to ward off p`ainful f^eelings that have ar`isen,

      [04:06.8]  for th`e maximum freedom from d`isease.
