820. Padahanti etenāti padhānaṃ. Sobhanaṃ padhānaṃ sammappadhānaṃ. Sammā vā padahanti etenāti sammappadhānaṃ.

（四正勤）以此而勤故为「勤」。美的勤为「正勤」；或以此而作正当的勤为「正勤」；或因无烦恼之丑故为美，因以能生利益安乐之义而取得殊胜的状态及能作最优的状态故为勤，是名「正勤」。这与精进是一同义语。即已生与未生的恶而令断与不生的作用，及未生与已生的善而令生起与存续的作用，而有四种。是故名为四正勤。
Ñ(XXII,35): By it they endeavour (padahanti), thus it is endeavour (padhāna); a good endeavour is a right (sammā) endeavour. Or alternatively: by its means people endeavour rightly (sammā padahanti), thus it is right endeavour (sammappadhāna). Or alternatively: it is good because of abandoning the unseemliness of defilement, and it is endeavour because of bringing about improvement and giving precedence (padhāna-bhāva-kāraṇa) in the sense of producing well-being and bliss, thus it is right endeavour. It is a name for energy. It accomplishes the functions of abandoning arisen unprofitable things, preventing the arising of those not yet arisen, arousing unarisen profitable things, and maintaining those already arisen; thus it is fourfold. That is why 'four right endeavours' is said.
