Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Tisso imā, bhikkhave, nissaraṇiyā dhātuyo. Katamā tisso? Kāmānametaṁ nissaraṇaṁ yadidaṁ nekkhammaṁ, rūpānametaṁ nissaraṇaṁ yadidaṁ āruppaṁ, yaṁ kho pana kiñci bhūtaṁ saṅkhataṁ paṭiccasamuppannaṁ nirodho tassa nissaraṇaṁ—imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso nissaraṇiyā dhātuyo”ti.
“There are these three elements of escape. What three? 1.) Renunciation is the escape from sensual pleasures, 2.) the formless [element] is the escape from forms, and for 3.) whatever is constructed, dependently arisen—its cessation is the escape from it. These are the three elements of escape.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Kāmanissaraṇaṁ ñatvā,
rūpānañca atikkamaṁ;
Sabbasaṅkhārasamathaṁ,
phusaṁ ātāpi sabbadā.
“Having known the escape from sensual pleasures,
and the surpassing of forms,
one with continuous effort
reaches the stilling of all intentional constructs.
Sa ve sammaddaso bhikkhu,
yato tattha vimuccati;
Abhiññāvosito santo,
sa ve yogātigo munī”ti.
Such a bhikkhu, seeing correctly,
is thereby well-released,
attained to perfect understanding, at peace,
the sage has overcome all bonds.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
