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:
“Yassa kāmāsavo khīṇo,
avijjā ca virājitā;
Bhavāsavo parikkhīṇo,
vippamutto nirūpadhi;
Dhāreti antimaṁ dehaṁ,
jetvā māraṁ savāhinin”ti.
“One whose taint of sensual desire is exhausted,
and ignorance has faded away;
one whose taint of becoming is completely exhausted,
is completely released and free from attachment;
he carries his final body,
having defeated Māra and his army.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
