Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, as I have heard:
“Dvīhi, bhikkhave, diṭṭhigatehi pariyuṭṭhitā devamanussā olīyanti eke, atidhāvanti eke; cakkhumanto ca passanti.
“Bhikkhus, overcome by two kinds of wrong views, gods and humans—|some get stuck::lag behind, get bogged down [olīyati]|, while others |overreach::overshoot the mark, go too far [atidhāvati]|. But those with |clear eyes::vision [cakkhumant]| see.
Kathañca, bhikkhave, olīyanti eke? Bhavārāmā, bhikkhave, devamanussā bhavaratā bhavasammuditā tesaṁ bhavanirodhāya dhamme desiyamāne cittaṁ na pakkhandati na pasīdati na santiṭṭhati nādhimuccati. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, olīyanti eke.
And how, bhikkhus, do some get stuck? Because of taking pleasure in |[continued] existence::being, becoming [bhava]|, delighting in existing, and enjoying existence, when the Dhamma is being taught for the |ending of continued existence::ending of becoming [bhavanirodha]|, the minds of some gods and humans are not |inspired::leap forth [pakkhandati]|, they do not |gain confidence:: become clear [pasīdati]|, do not |settle down::remain still [santiṭṭhati]| and do not become resolved. In this way, bhikkhus, some lag behind.
Kathañca, bhikkhave, atidhāvanti eke? Bhaveneva kho paneke aṭṭīyamānā harāyamānā jigucchamānā vibhavaṁ abhinandanti—yato kira, bho, ayaṁ attā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā ucchijjati vinassati na hoti paraṁ maraṇā; etaṁ santaṁ etaṁ paṇītaṁ etaṁ yāthāvanti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, atidhāvanti eke.
And how, bhikkhus, do some overreach? Some, distressed by existence, ashamed of it, and being disgusted by it, delight in |annihilation::nonexistence, extermination [vibhava]|, thinking: ‘Since this self, after the breakup of the body, after death, is annihilated, perishes, and does not exist after death—this is peaceful, this is excellent, this is the truth.’ In this way, bhikkhus, some overreach.
Kathañca, bhikkhave, cakkhumanto passanti? Idha bhikkhu bhūtaṁ bhūtato passati; bhūtaṁ bhūtato disvā bhūtassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, cakkhumanto passantī”ti.
And how, bhikkhus, do those with vision see? Here, a bhikkhu sees |continued conditional existence::what has come to be [bhūta]| as it actually is. Having seen continued conditional existence as it actually is, he is practicing for |disenchantment::de-illusionment, disinterest, dispassion [nibbidā]|, |fading of desire::dispassion, detachment [virāga]|, and |gradual ending::cessation, termination [nirodha]|.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Ye bhūtaṁ bhūtato disvā,
bhūtassa ca atikkamaṁ;
Yathābhūte vimuccanti,
bhavataṇhā parikkhayā.
“Having seen continued conditional existence as it actually is,
those who transcend continued conditional existence;
They are freed in accordance with |actuality::reality, suchness [yathābhūta]|,
with the |complete exhaustion::gradual and complete wearing away [parikkhaya]| of |craving::wanting, yearning, longing, attachment, lit. thirst [taṇha]|.
Sa ve bhūtapariñño so,
vītataṇho bhavābhave;
Bhūtassa vibhavā bhikkhu,
nāgacchati punabbhavan”ti.
That one, completely comprehending continued conditional existence,
is free from craving for |any state of existence::continued existence [bhavābhava]|;
With the ending of continued conditional existence,
does not arrive at any future becoming.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
