Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Ekadhammaṁ, bhikkhave, pajahatha; ahaṁ vo pāṭibhogo anāgāmitāya. Katamaṁ ekadhammaṁ? Mānaṁ, bhikkhave, ekadhammaṁ pajahatha; ahaṁ vo pāṭibhogo anāgāmitāyā”ti.
“Abandon one thing; I am your guarantor for non-returning. What one thing? Abandon conceit; I am your guarantor for non-returning.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Yena mānena mattāse,
sattā gacchanti duggatiṁ;
Taṁ mānaṁ sammadaññāya,
pajahanti vipassino;
Pahāya na punāyanti,
imaṁ lokaṁ kudācanan”ti.
“Overcome by conceit, through which
beings go to an unfortunate destination;
completely comprehending conceit,
those seeing clearly abandon it.
Having abandoned it, they do not come again
to this world at any time.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
