Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā magadhesu viharati andhakavinde. At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Magadhans at Andhakavinda. Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ bhagavā etadavoca: Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him:
“Ye te, ānanda, bhikkhū navā acirapabbajitā adhunāgatā imaṁ dhammavinayaṁ, te vo, ānanda, bhikkhū pañcasu dhammesu samādapetabbā nivesetabbā patiṭṭhāpetabbā. “Ānanda, those bhikkhus who are junior, recently gone forth, newly come to this teaching-and-discipline should be encouraged, supported, and established in five things. Katamesu pañcasu? What five?

They should be encouraged, supported, and established in restraint in the monastic code: ‘Friends, please be virtuous.

‘Etha tumhe, āvuso, indriyesu guttadvārā viharatha ārakkhasatino nipakkasatino, sārakkhitamānasā satārakkhena cetasā samannāgatā’ti—iti indriyasaṁvare samādapetabbā nivesetabbā patiṭṭhāpetabbā.

Those bhikkhus who are junior, recently gone forth, newly come to this teaching-and-discipline should be encouraged, supported, and established in these five things.”
