Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Atthi, bhikkhave, ajātaṁ abhūtaṁ akataṁ asaṅkhataṁ. No cetaṁ, bhikkhave, abhavissa ajātaṁ abhūtaṁ akataṁ asaṅkhataṁ, nayidha jātassa bhūtassa katassa saṅkhatassa nissaraṇaṁ paññāyetha. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi ajātaṁ abhūtaṁ akataṁ asaṅkhataṁ, tasmā jātassa bhūtassa katassa saṅkhatassa nissaraṇaṁ paññāyatī”ti.
“There is the unborn, unbecome, unmade, and unconditioned. If there were not the unborn, unbecome, unmade, and unconditioned, there would be no discernment of escape from the born, become, made, and conditioned. But since there is the unborn, unbecome, unmade, and unconditioned, therefore the escape from the born, become, made, and conditioned is discerned.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Jātaṁ bhūtaṁ samuppannaṁ,
kataṁ saṅkhatamaddhuvaṁ;
Jarāmaraṇasaṅghāṭaṁ,
roganīḷaṁ pabhaṅguraṁ.
“That which is born, become, arisen,
made, and conditioned is not enduring;
a conglomeration of aging and dying,
a nest of disease, fragile.
Āhāranettippabhavaṁ,
nālaṁ tadabhinandituṁ;
Tassa nissaraṇaṁ santaṁ,
atakkāvacaraṁ dhuvaṁ.
That which arises from the nourishment and guide [of craving],
it is not suitable to be pleased with that;
its escape is peaceful,
beyond the realm of conjecture, and enduring.
Ajātaṁ asamuppannaṁ,
asokaṁ virajaṁ padaṁ;
Nirodho dukkhadhammānaṁ,
saṅkhārūpasamo sukho”ti.
The unborn, unarisen,
sorrowless, and stainless state;
the cessation of suffering,
the stilling of mental activities is ease.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
