1.2“Saṁyojaniyesu, bhikkhave, dhammesu assādānupassino viharato taṇhā pavaḍḍhati.“There are things that tighten the fetters. When you concentrate on the gratification provided by these things, your craving grows.¹1.3Taṇhāpaccayā upādānaṁ;Craving is a requirement for grasping.1.4upādānapaccayā bhavo;Grasping is a requirement for continued existence.1.5bhavapaccayā jāti;Continued existence is a requirement for rebirth.1.6jātipaccayā jarāmaraṇaṁ sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā sambhavanti.Rebirth is a requirement for old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress to come to be.1.7Evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti.That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.

2.1Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, telañca paṭicca vaṭṭiñca paṭicca telappadīpo jhāyeyya.Suppose an oil lamp depended on oil and a wick to burn.2.2Tatra puriso kālena kālaṁ telaṁ āsiñceyya vaṭṭiṁ upasaṁhareyya.And from time to time someone would pour oil in and adjust the wick.2.3Evañhi so, bhikkhave, telappadīpo tadāhāro tadupādāno ciraṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ jaleyya.Fed and fuelled by that, the oil lamp would burn for a long time.

2.4Evameva kho, bhikkhave, saṁyojaniyesu dhammesu assādānupassino viharato taṇhā pavaḍḍhati.In the same way, there are things that tighten the fetters.

3.1Saṁyojaniyesu, bhikkhave, dhammesu ādīnavānupassino viharato taṇhā nirujjhati.There are things that tighten the fetters. When you concentrate on the drawbacks of these things, your craving ceases.3.2Taṇhānirodhā upādānanirodho;When craving ceases, grasping ceases.3.3upādānanirodhā bhavanirodho;When grasping ceases, continued existence ceases.3.4bhavanirodhā jātinirodho;When continued existence ceases, rebirth ceases.3.5jātinirodhā jarāmaraṇaṁ sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā nirujjhanti.When rebirth ceases, old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress cease.3.6Evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hoti.That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.

4.1Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, telañca paṭicca vaṭṭiñca paṭicca telappadīpo jhāyeyya.Suppose an oil lamp depended on oil and a wick to burn.4.2Tatra puriso na kālena kālaṁ telaṁ āsiñceyya na vaṭṭiṁ upasaṁhareyya.And no one would pour oil in and adjust the wick from time to time.4.3Evañhi so, bhikkhave, telappadīpo purimassa ca upādānassa pariyādānā aññassa ca anupahārā anāhāro nibbāyeyya.As the original fuel is used up and no more is added, the oil lamp would be extinguished due to not being fed.
