1.1PTS 2.1Evaṁ me sutaṁ—So I have heard.1.2ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā vajjīsu viharati bhaṇḍagāme.At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Vajjis at Wares Village.1.3Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:There the Buddha addressed the mendicants,1.4“bhikkhavo”ti.“Mendicants!”

1.5“Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ.“Venerable sir,” they replied.1.6Bhagavā etadavoca:The Buddha said this:

2.1“Catunnaṁ, bhikkhave, dhammānaṁ ananubodhā appaṭivedhā evamidaṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ sandhāvitaṁ saṁsaritaṁ mamañceva tumhākañca.“Mendicants, due to not understanding and not penetrating four things, both you and I have wandered and transmigrated for such a very long time.2.2Katamesaṁ catunnaṁ?What four?2.3Ariyassa, bhikkhave, sīlassa ananubodhā appaṭivedhā evamidaṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ sandhāvitaṁ saṁsaritaṁ mamañceva tumhākañca.Noble ethics,2.4Ariyassa, bhikkhave, samādhissa ananubodhā appaṭivedhā evamidaṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ sandhāvitaṁ saṁsaritaṁ mamañceva tumhākañca.immersion,2.5Ariyāya, bhikkhave, paññāya ananubodhā appaṭivedhā evamidaṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ sandhāvitaṁ saṁsaritaṁ mamañceva tumhākañca.wisdom,2.6Ariyāya, bhikkhave, vimuttiyā ananubodhā appaṭivedhā evamidaṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ sandhāvitaṁ saṁsaritaṁ mamañceva tumhākañca.and freedom.2.7Tayidaṁ, bhikkhave, ariyaṁ sīlaṁ anubuddhaṁ paṭividdhaṁ, ariyo samādhi anubuddho paṭividdho, ariyā paññā anubuddhā paṭividdhā, ariyā vimutti anubuddhā paṭividdhā, ucchinnā bhavataṇhā, khīṇā bhavanetti, natthi dāni punabbhavo”ti.These noble ethics, immersion, wisdom, and freedom have been understood and comprehended. Craving for continued existence has been cut off; the leash to existence is ended; now there’ll be no more future lives.”

3.1Idamavoca bhagavā.That is what the Buddha said.3.2Idaṁ vatvāna sugato athāparaṁ etadavoca satthā:Then the Holy One, the Teacher, went on to say:

4.1PTS 2.2“Sīlaṁ samādhi paññā ca,“Ethics, immersion, and wisdom,4.2vimutti ca anuttarā;and the supreme freedom:4.3Anubuddhā ime dhammā,these things have been understood4.4gotamena yasassinā.by Gotama the renowned.

5.1Iti buddho abhiññāya,And so the Buddha, having insight,5.2dhammamakkhāsi bhikkhunaṁ;explained this teaching to the mendicants.5.3Dukkhassantakaro satthā,The teacher made an end of suffering,5.4cakkhumā parinibbuto”ti.seeing clearly, he is fully quenched.”
