Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Tayome, bhikkhave, addhā. Katame tayo? Atīto addhā, anāgato addhā, paccuppanno addhā—ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo addhā”ti.
”There are these three time periods. What are the three? The past time period, the future time period, and the present time period. These are the three time periods.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Akkheyyasaññino sattā,
akkheyyasmiṁ patiṭṭhitā;
Akkheyyaṁ apariññāya,
yogamāyanti maccuno.
“Beings percipient of what can be named,
become established in the nameable;
by not completely comprehending the nameable,
they come under the yoke of death.
Akkheyyañca pariññāya,
akkhātāraṁ na maññati;
Phuṭṭho vimokkho manasā,
santipadamanuttaraṁ.
By completely comprehending the nameable,
one does not conceive the ‘one who names’;
their mind has attained to freedom,
the unsurpassed state of peace.
Sa ve akkheyyasampanno,
santo santipade rato;
Saṅkhāya sevī dhammaṭṭho,
saṅkhyaṁ nopeti vedagū”ti.
Accomplished in what can be expressed,
the wise one is devoted to the peaceful state;
firmly established in the Dhamma, they freely make use of concepts,
but no more resort to conceptualization.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
