1.1Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.

2.1“Atthi, bhikkhave, ajātaṁ abhūtaṁ akataṁ asaṅkhataṁ.“There is, mendicants, freedom from rebirth, freedom from what has been produced, made, and conditioned.2.2No cetaṁ, bhikkhave, abhavissa ajātaṁ abhūtaṁ akataṁ asaṅkhataṁ, nayidha jātassa bhūtassa katassa saṅkhatassa nissaraṇaṁ paññāyetha.If there were no freedom from rebirth, freedom from what has been produced, made, and conditioned, then you would find no escape here from rebirth, from what has been produced, made, and conditioned.2.3Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi ajātaṁ abhūtaṁ akataṁ asaṅkhataṁ, tasmā jātassa bhūtassa katassa saṅkhatassa nissaraṇaṁ paññāyatī”ti.But since there is freedom from rebirth, freedom from what has been produced, made, and conditioned, an escape is found from rebirth, from what has been produced, made, and conditioned.”

2.4Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.The Buddha spoke this matter.2.5Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:On this it is said:

3.1“Jātaṁ bhūtaṁ samuppannaṁ,“What’s reborn, produced, and arisen,3.2kataṁ saṅkhatamaddhuvaṁ;made, conditioned, not lasting,3.3Jarāmaraṇasaṅghāṭaṁ,wrapped in old age and death,3.4roganīḷaṁ pabhaṅguraṁ.frail, a nest of disease,

4.1Āhāranettippabhavaṁ,whose inception is the leash to food:¹4.2nālaṁ tadabhinandituṁ;that’s not fit to delight in.4.3Tassa nissaraṇaṁ santaṁ,The escape from that is peaceful,4.4atakkāvacaraṁ dhuvaṁ.beyond the scope of logic, everlasting,

5.1Ajātaṁ asamuppannaṁ,where nothing is reborn or arisen,5.2asokaṁ virajaṁ padaṁ;the sorrowless, stainless state,5.3Nirodho dukkhadhammānaṁ,the cessation of all painful things,5.4saṅkhārūpasamo sukho”ti.the blissful stilling of conditions.”

6.1Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
