"Bhikkhus,there are these five kinds of forest dwellers.
What
five?
(1)One who becomes a forest dweller because of his dullness and stupidity;(2)one who becomes a forest dweller because he has evil desires,because he is driven by desire;
Papiccho icchapakato araririko hoti.Mp:"He thinks,'While I am living in the forest,they will honor me with the four requisites,thinking I'm a forest dweller.They will esteem me for my virtues,thinking that I'm conscientious and secluded,and so forth.'.Thus he is a forest dweller based on evil desire,because he is overcome by desire."(3)one who becomes a forest dweller because he is mad and mentally deranged;(4)one who becomes a forest dweller,[thinking]:'It is praised by the Buddhas and the Buddhas' disciples';(5)and one who becomes a forest dweller for the sake of fewness of desires,for the sake of contentment,for the sake of eliminating [defilements],for the sake of solitude,for the sake of simplicity.
These are the five kinds of forest dwellers.
One who becomes a forest dweller for the sake of fewness of desires,for the sake of contentment,for the sake of eliminating [defilements],for the sake of solitude,for the sake of simplicity,is the foremost,the best,the preeminent,the supreme,and the finest of these five kinds of forest dwellers.
"Just as,bhikkhus,from a cow comes milk,from milk comes curd,from curd comes butter,from butter comes ghee,and from ghee comes cream-of-ghee,which is reckoned the foremost of all these,
so one who becomes a forest dweller for the sake of fewness of desires...for the sake of simplicity,is the foremost,the best,the preeminent,the supreme,and the finest of these five kinds of forest dwellers."
