Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Lobhaṁ, bhikkhave, anabhijānaṁ aparijānaṁ tattha cittaṁ avirājayaṁ appajahaṁ abhabbo dukkhakkhayāya. Lobhañca kho, bhikkhave, abhijānaṁ parijānaṁ tattha cittaṁ virājayaṁ pajahaṁ bhabbo dukkhakkhayāyā”ti.
“Not directly knowing and not completely comprehending greed, with the mind not detaching from it and without abandoning it, one is incapable of ending suffering. Directly knowing and completely comprehending greed, with the mind detaching from it and by abandoning it, one is capable of ending suffering.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Yena lobhena luddhāse,
sattā gacchanti duggatiṁ;
Taṁ lobhaṁ sammadaññāya,
pajahanti vipassino;
Pahāya na punāyanti,
imaṁ lokaṁ kudācanan”ti.
“Overcome by greed, through which
beings go to an unfortunate destination;
completely comprehending greed,
those seeing clearly abandon it.
Having abandoned it, they do not return
to this world at any time.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
