Aṅguttara Nikāya — Discursos Numerados — 4.20 — A Meal Assigner
Ler no Une Sacra1“Mendicants, a meal assigner who has four qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there. What four? They make decisions prejudiced by favoritism, hostility, stupidity, and cowardice. A meal assigner who has these four qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there.
2A meal designator who has four qualities is placed in heaven as if delivered there. What four? They make decisions unprejudiced by favoritism, hostility, stupidity, and cowardice. A meal assigner who has these four qualities is placed in heaven as if delivered there.
3All those people with unbridled sensuality,
unprincipled, with no respect for principle,
led astray by favoritism or hostility, <j>stupidity or cowardice,
are called ‘an assembly of the dregs’:
4that’s what was said by the ascetic who knows.
And so those praiseworthy true persons,
standing on principle, doing nothing wrong,
not led astray by favoritism or hostility, <j>stupidity or cowardice,
are called ‘an assembly of the cream’:
that’s what was said by the ascetic who knows.”
