Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Tisso imā, bhikkhave, vedanā. Katamā tisso? Sukhā vedanā, dukkhā vedanā, adukkhamasukhā vedanā. Sukhā, bhikkhave, vedanā dukkhato daṭṭhabbā; dukkhā vedanā sallato daṭṭhabbā; adukkhamasukhā vedanā aniccato daṭṭhabbā. Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno sukhā vedanā dukkhato diṭṭhā hoti, dukkhā vedanā sallato diṭṭhā hoti, adukkhamasukhā vedanā aniccato diṭṭhā hoti; ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ‘bhikkhu ariyo, sammaddaso, acchecchi taṇhaṁ, vivattayi saṁyojanaṁ, sammā mānābhisamayā antamakāsi dukkhassā’”ti.
“There are these three felt experiences. What are the three? Pleasant felt experience, painful felt experience, and neither-painful-nor-pleasant felt experience. A pleasant felt experience should be seen as [ultimately] dissatisfying; a painful felt experience should be seen as a thorn; a felt experience that is neither-painful-nor-pleasant should be seen as impermanent. When a bhikkhu sees a pleasant felt experience as [ultimately] dissatisfying, a painful felt experience as a thorn, and a felt experience that is neither-painful-nor-pleasant as impermanent, he is called a ‘noble bhikkhu, one with perfect understanding, who has completely cut out craving, unraveled the fetters, and through complete comprehension of conceit, has made an end of suffering.’”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Yo sukhaṁ dukkhato adda,
Dukkhamaddakkhi sallato;
Adukkhamasukhaṁ santaṁ,
Adakkhi naṁ aniccato.
“One who sees pleasure as ultimately dissatisfying,
who sees pain as a thorn,
and who sees the peaceful,
neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling as impermanent—
Sa ve sammaddaso bhikkhu,
yato tattha vimuccati;
Abhiññāvosito santo,
sa ve yogātigo munī”ti.
That bhikkhu, through perfect understanding,
is liberated at that very point,
fully accomplished in direct knowledge, tranquil,
he is a sage who has gone beyond the yoke.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
