Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Tayome, bhikkhave, āsavā. Katame tayo? Kāmāsavo, bhavāsavo, avijjāsavo—ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo āsavā”ti.
“There are these three taints. What are the three? The taint of sensual desire, the taint of becoming, and the taint of ignorance. These are the three taints.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Samāhito sampajāno,
sato buddhassa sāvako;
Āsave ca pajānāti,
āsavānañca sambhavaṁ.
“Collected, clearly aware,
a mindful disciple of the Buddha,
discerns the taints,
and the arising of taints.
Yattha cetā nirujjhanti,
maggañca khayagāminaṁ;
Āsavānaṁ khayā bhikkhu,
nicchāto parinibbuto”ti.
Where these cease,
and the way of practice leading to their cessation,
with the cessation of taints, the bhikkhu
is satiated and completely quenched [of mental defilements].”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
