oh monks,( vocative pl.),
Adanta Untamed
Mahato (dat. S. Of mahanta) great, big
Anatthāya (anattho - disadvantage)
saṃvattatīti (leads to, conductive to with dative of object)

Oh monks an untamed mind leads to a great disadvantage
Ó mniši, nezkrocená mysl vede k velké nevýhodě

Question 16

Nâhaṃ, bhikkhave, aññaṃ ekadhammaṃ pi samanupassāmi yaṃ evaṃ adantaṃ, aguttaṃ, arakkhitaṃ, asaṃvutaṃ, mahato anatthāya saṃvattati yathayidaṃ, bhikkhave, cittaṃ. Cittaṃ, bhikkhave, aguttaṃ, arakkhitaṃ, asaṃvutaṃ, mahato anatthāya saṃvattatîti.

Answer 16

Nâhaṃ, - n + aham - not I
bhikkhave,

aguttaṃ, (gopeti) unguarded
arakkhitaṃ, (rakkhati) unprotected

mahato anatthāya - great disadvantage,
saṃvattati (/vat - vatta (turning)- saṃvatta) leads to
yathayidaṃ (yathā - as + idaṃ - this)
, bhikkhave, cittaṃ. Cittaṃ, bhikkhave, aguttaṃ, arakkhitaṃ, asaṃvutaṃ, mahato anatthāya saṃvattatîti.

Not I, Oh Bhikkhus, another one thing even recognize which indeed untamed, unguarded, unprotected unrestrained great disadvantage leads to as this mind oh bhikkhus.

Oh monks, I do not see even one other thing which when so untamed, unguarded unprotected, and unrestrained leads to great harm as this, oh monks, the mind. The mind oh monks untamed, unguarded unprotected, and unrestrained leads to great harm.

bhikkhave, micchādiṭṭhi. Micchādiṭṭhikassa, bhikkhave, anuppannā ceva kusalā dhammā
n’ūppajjanti, uppannā ca kusalā dhammā parihāyanti.

Answer 18

Monks, I don not percieve any single mental state by which non-arisen wholesome mental states arise or arisen wholesome mental states decrease other than that of wrong view.
