1.1Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
2.1“Jānatohaṁ, bhikkhave, passato āsavānaṁ khayaṁ vadāmi, no ajānato no apassato.“Mendicants, I say that the ending of defilements is for one who knows and sees, not for one who does not know or see.2.2Kiñca, bhikkhave, jānato, kiṁ passato āsavānaṁ khayo hoti?For one who knows and sees what?2.3Idaṁ dukkhanti, bhikkhave, jānato passato āsavānaṁ khayo hoti. Ayaṁ dukkhasamudayoti, bhikkhave, jānato passato āsavānaṁ khayo hoti. Ayaṁ dukkhanirodhoti, bhikkhave, jānato passato āsavānaṁ khayo hoti. Ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadāti, bhikkhave, jānato passato āsavānaṁ khayo hoti.The ending of defilements is for one who knows and sees suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path.2.4Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, jānato evaṁ passato āsavānaṁ khayo hotī”ti.The ending of the defilements is for one who knows and sees this.”
