Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Tīṇimāni, bhikkhave, cakkhūni. Katamāni tīṇi? Maṁsacakkhu, dibbacakkhu, paññācakkhu— imāni kho, bhikkhave, tīṇi cakkhūnī”ti.
“There are these three eyes. What are the three? The physical eye, the divine eye, and the eye of wisdom. These are the three eyes.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Maṁsacakkhu dibbacakkhu,
paññācakkhu anuttaraṁ;
Etāni tīṇi cakkhūni,
akkhāsi purisuttamo.
“The physical eye, the divine eye,
and the eye of wisdom—unsurpassed;
these three eyes
are declared by the best of men.
Maṁsacakkhussa uppādo,
maggo dibbassa cakkhuno;
Yato ñāṇaṁ udapādi,
paññācakkhu anuttaraṁ;
Yassa cakkhussa paṭilābhā,
sabbadukkhā pamuccatī”ti.
The arising of the physical eye [comes first],
[then] the path to the divine eye;
when insight arises,
the unsurpassed eye of wisdom is realized;
whoever gains that eye,
is freed from all suffering.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
