Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Yassa kassaci, bhikkhave, bhikkhussa vā bhikkhuniyā vā rāgo appahīno, doso appahīno, moho appahīno—ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ‘atiṇṇo samuddaṁ saūmiṁ savīciṁ sāvaṭṭaṁ sagahaṁ sarakkhasaṁ’. Yassa kassaci, bhikkhave, bhikkhussa vā bhikkhuniyā vā rāgo pahīno, doso pahīno, moho pahīno—ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ‘atari samuddaṁ saūmiṁ savīciṁ sāvaṭṭaṁ sagahaṁ sarakkhasaṁ, tiṇṇo pāraṅgato thale tiṭṭhati brāhmaṇo’”ti.
“Whoever, whether a bhikkhu or a bhikkhunī, has not let go of passion, has not let go of aversion, and has not let go of delusion—such a person is called one who is still caught in the ocean—with its waves, currents, whirlpools, fierce beasts, and monsters. On the other hand, whoever, whether a bhikkhu or a bhikkhunī, has let go of passion, has let go of aversion, and has let go of delusion—such a person is called one who has crossed beyond the ocean—with its waves, currents, whirlpools, fierce beasts, and monsters. Having reached the far shore, such a person stands on firm ground as a sage.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Yassa rāgo ca doso ca,
Avijjā ca virājitā;
Somaṁ samuddaṁ sagahaṁ sarakkhasaṁ,
Saūmibhayaṁ duttaraṁ accatāri.
“For one in whom passion, aversion,
and ignorance have faded away,
[that one] has crossed beyond the ocean—hard to cross,
with the peril of waves, fierce beasts and monsters.
Saṅgātigo maccujaho nirūpadhi,
Pahāsi dukkhaṁ apunabbhavāya;
Atthaṅgato so na pamāṇameti,
Amohayi maccurājanti brūmī”ti.
One who has gone beyond bonds, abandoned death, being free from attachment,
has left behind suffering, and will not return to existence,
having vanished, he is beyond all measurement,
he has bewildered the King of Death, I say.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
