Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Tisso imā, bhikkhave, kāmūpapattiyo. Katamā tisso? Paccupaṭṭhitakāmā, nimmānaratino, paranimmitavasavattino—imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso kāmūpapattiyo”ti.
“There are these three rebirths in the sensual realm. What three? 1.) Those who enjoy pleasures that have presented themselves, 2.) those who delight in their own creations, and 3.) those who wield power over the creations of others—these are the three rebirths in the sensual realm.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Paccupaṭṭhitakāmā ca,
ye devā vasavattino;
Nimmānaratino devā,
ye caññe kāmabhogino;
Itthabhāvaññathābhāvaṁ,
saṁsāraṁ nātivattare.
“Those who enjoy pleasures that have presented themselves,
and the gods who wield power over others’ creations;
deities who delight in their own creations,
and others indulging in sensual pleasures;
in this or another existence,
they do not go beyond cyclic existence.
Etamādīnavaṁ ñatvā,
kāmabhogesu paṇḍito;
Sabbe pariccaje kāme,
ye dibbā ye ca mānusā.
Having understood this drawback
in sensual gratification, the wise one—
lets go of all sensual pleasures,
whether divine or human.
Piyarūpasātagadhitaṁ,
chetvā sotaṁ duraccayaṁ;
Asesaṁ parinibbanti,
asesaṁ dukkhamaccaguṁ.
Formerly bound to the pleasure of beloved forms,
and later having cut across the current hard to cross;
without remainder, they are completely quenched,
having fully transcended suffering.
Ariyaddasā vedaguno,
sammadaññāya paṇḍitā;
Jātikkhayamabhiññāya,
nāgacchanti punabbhavan”ti.
Seers of the noble truths, accomplished in wisdom,
the wise who possess perfect knowledge;
having directly known the wearing away of rebirth,
they no longer return to renewed existence.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
