Ānaṇya Sutta

Pattakammavagga Ānaṇyasutta Atha kho anāthapiṇḍiko gahapati yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.

Then, the householder Anathapindika approached the Blessed One; having approached, he paid homage to the Blessed One and sat down to one side.

Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho anāthapiṇḍikaṁ gahapatiṁ bhagavā etadavoca: “Cattārimāni, gahapati, sukhāni adhigamanīyāni gihinā kāmabhoginā kālena kālaṁ samayena samayaṁ upādāya.

While sitting to one side, the Blessed One addressed the householder Anathapindika: Householder, there are these four kinds of happiness to be attained by a layperson who enjoys sensual pleasures from time to time, from occasion to occasion.

Katamāni cattāri?

What are the four?

Atthisukhaṁ, bhogasukhaṁ, ānaṇyasukhaṁ, anavajjasukhaṁ.

The happiness of ownership, the happiness of wealth, the happiness of debtlessness, and the happiness of blamelessness.
