Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Bhidurāyaṁ, bhikkhave, kāyo, viññāṇaṁ virāgadhammaṁ, sabbe upadhī aniccā dukkhā vipariṇāmadhammā”ti.
“This body is fragile; consciousness is of a fading nature. All substrates of existence are impermanent, unsatisfactory, and subject to change.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Kāyañca bhiduraṁ ñatvā,
Viññāṇañca virāgunaṁ;
Upadhīsu bhayaṁ disvā,
Jātimaraṇamaccagā;
Sampatvā paramaṁ santiṁ,
Kālaṁ kaṅkhati bhāvitatto”ti.
“Having known the body as fragile,
and consciousness as of a fading nature;
having seen the danger in the substrate of existence,
one overcomes birth and death;
having attained the supreme peace,
the Awakened One calmly awaits his time.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
