Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Loko, bhikkhave, tathāgatena abhisambuddho, lokasmā tathāgato visaṁyutto. Lokasamudayo, bhikkhave, tathāgatena abhisambuddho, lokasamudayo tathāgatassa pahīno. Lokanirodho, bhikkhave, tathāgatena abhisambuddho, lokanirodho tathāgatassa sacchikato. Lokanirodhagāminī paṭipadā, bhikkhave, tathāgatena abhisambuddhā, lokanirodhagāminī paṭipadā tathāgatassa bhāvitā.
“The world has been perfectly understood by the Tathāgata; the Tathāgata is disentangled from the world. The arising of the world has been perfectly understood by the Tathāgata; the arising of the world has been abandoned by the Tathāgata. The ending of the world has been perfectly understood by the Tathāgata; the ending of the world has been personally realized by the Tathāgata. The way of practice leading to the ending of the world has been perfectly understood by the Tathāgata; the way of practice leading to the ending of the world has been cultivated by the Tathāgata.
Yaṁ, bhikkhave, sadevakassa lokassa samārakassa sabrahmakassa sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya diṭṭhaṁ sutaṁ mutaṁ viññātaṁ pattaṁ pariyesitaṁ anuvicaritaṁ manasā yasmā taṁ tathāgatena abhisambuddhaṁ, tasmā ‘tathāgato’ti vuccati.
Whatever is seen, heard, sensed, cognized, accomplished, sought out, or pondered by the mind in this world with its deities, Māras, Brahmas, its ascetics and brahmins, kings and commoners, all that has been perfectly understood by the Tathāgata. Therefore, he is called the Tathāgata.
Yañca, bhikkhave, rattiṁ tathāgato anuttaraṁ sammāsambodhiṁ abhisambujjhati, yañca rattiṁ anupādisesāya nibbānadhātuyā parinibbāyati, yaṁ etasmiṁ antare bhāsati lapati niddisati, sabbaṁ taṁ tatheva hoti no aññathā, tasmā ‘tathāgato’ti vuccati.
And whatever the Tathāgata speaks, talks, or declares during the interval between the night he awakens to unsurpassed perfect awakening and the night he attains final Nibbāna in the element of Nibbāna without a remainder of clinging, all that is just so and not otherwise. Therefore, he is called the Tathāgata.
Yathāvādī, bhikkhave, tathāgato tathākārī, yathākārī tathāvādī, iti yathāvādī tathākārī yathākārī tathāvādī, tasmā ‘tathāgato’ti vuccati.
As he speaks, so he acts; as he acts, so he speaks. Therefore, one whose words match his actions and whose actions match his words is called the Tathāgata.
Sadevake, bhikkhave, loke samārake sabrahmake sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya tathāgato abhibhū anabhibhūto aññadatthudaso vasavattī, tasmā tathāgatoti vuccatī”ti.
In the world with its deities, Māras, Brahmas, its ascetics and brahmins, kings and commoners, the Tathāgata is unsurpassed, unconquered, one who sees things as they are, and wielding power. Therefore, he is called the Tathāgata.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Sabbalokaṁ abhiññāya,
sabbaloke yathātathaṁ;
Sabbalokavisaṁyutto,
sabbaloke anūpayo.
“Having directly known the whole world,
as it truly is;
disentangled from the whole world,
disinterested in the whole world—
Sa ve sabbābhibhū dhīro,
sabbaganthappamocano;
Phuṭṭhāssa paramā santi,
nibbānaṁ akutobhayaṁ.
He is the unsurpassed of all, the wise one,
liberated from all ties;
having reached the supreme peace:
Nibbāna, without fear from any quarter.
Esa khīṇāsavo buddho,
anīgho chinnasaṁsayo;
Sabbakammakkhayaṁ patto,
vimutto upadhisaṅkhaye.
He is the Awakened One, whose taints have worn away,
untroubled, with doubts cut off;
having reached the end of all actions,
he is freed with the ending of identification.
Esa so bhagavā buddho,
esa sīho anuttaro;
Sadevakassa lokassa,
brahmacakkaṁ pavattayi.
This one, the Blessed One, the Awakened One,
the unsurpassed lion;
in the world with its deities,
sets in motion the wheel of Dhamma.
Iti devā manussā ca,
ye buddhaṁ saraṇaṁ gatā;
Saṅgamma taṁ namassanti,
mahantaṁ vītasāradaṁ.
Thus, gods and humans,
who have gone to the Buddha for refuge;
having come together,
honor that great, self-assured one.
Danto damayataṁ seṭṭho,
santo samayataṁ isi;
Mutto mocayataṁ aggo,
tiṇṇo tārayataṁ varo.
Tamed, the best of those who tame;
tranquil, the sage among those who bring tranquility;
liberated, the foremost of those who liberate;
crossed over, the chief of those who help cross over.
Iti hetaṁ namassanti,
mahantaṁ vītasāradaṁ;
Sadevakasmiṁ lokasmiṁ,
natthi te paṭipuggalo”ti.
Thus they honor this great one,
the great, self-assured one;
in the world with its deities,
there is no one who equals you.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
