1.2“Pubbeva me, bhikkhave, sambodhā anabhisambuddhassa bodhisattasseva sato etadahosi:“Mendicants, before my awakening—when I was still unawakened but intent on awakening—I thought:1.3‘ko nu kho rūpassa assādo, ko ādīnavo, kiṁ nissaraṇaṁ?‘What’s the gratification, the drawback, and the escape when it comes to form …1.4Ko vedanāya assādo, ko ādīnavo, kiṁ nissaraṇaṁ?feeling …1.5Ko saññāya assādo, ko ādīnavo, kiṁ nissaraṇaṁ?perception …1.6Ko saṅkhārānaṁ assādo, ko ādīnavo, kiṁ nissaraṇaṁ?choices …1.7Ko viññāṇassa assādo, ko ādīnavo, kiṁ nissaraṇan’ti?and consciousness?’

1.8Tassa mayhaṁ, bhikkhave, etadahosi:Then it occurred to me:1.9‘yaṁ kho rūpaṁ paṭicca uppajjati sukhaṁ somanassaṁ, ayaṁ rūpassa assādo.‘The pleasure and happiness that arise from form: this is its gratification.1.10Yaṁ rūpaṁ aniccaṁ dukkhaṁ vipariṇāmadhammaṁ, ayaṁ rūpassa ādīnavo.That form is impermanent, suffering, and perishable: this is its drawback.1.11Yo rūpasmiṁ chandarāgavinayo chandarāgappahānaṁ, idaṁ rūpassa nissaraṇaṁ.Removing and giving up desire and greed for form: this is its escape.1.12Yaṁ vedanaṁ paṭicca uppajjati sukhaṁ somanassaṁ, ayaṁ vedanāya assādo.The pleasure and happiness that arise from feeling …1.13Yaṁ vedanā aniccā dukkhā vipariṇāmadhammā, ayaṁ vedanāya ādīnavo.1.14Yo vedanāya chandarāgavinayo chandarāgappahānaṁ, idaṁ vedanāya nissaraṇaṁ.1.15Yaṁ saññaṁ paṭicca uppajjati …pe…perception …1.16yaṁ saṅkhāre paṭicca uppajjati sukhaṁ somanassaṁ, ayaṁ saṅkhārānaṁ assādo.choices …1.17Yaṁ saṅkhārā aniccā dukkhā vipariṇāmadhammā, ayaṁ saṅkhārānaṁ ādīnavo.1.18Yo saṅkhāresu chandarāgavinayo chandarāgappahānaṁ, idaṁ saṅkhārānaṁ nissaraṇaṁ.1.19Yaṁ viññāṇaṁ paṭicca uppajjati sukhaṁ somanassaṁ, ayaṁ viññāṇassa assādo.consciousness: this is its gratification.1.20Yaṁ viññāṇaṁ aniccaṁ dukkhaṁ vipariṇāmadhammaṁ, ayaṁ viññāṇassa ādīnavo.That consciousness is impermanent, suffering, and perishable: this is its drawback.1.21Yo viññāṇasmiṁ chandarāgavinayo chandarāgappahānaṁ, idaṁ viññāṇassa nissaraṇaṁ’.Removing and giving up desire and greed for consciousness: this is its escape.’

2.1Yāvakīvañcāhaṁ, bhikkhave, imesaṁ pañcannaṁ upādānakkhandhānaṁ evaṁ assādañca assādato ādīnavañca ādīnavato nissaraṇañca nissaraṇato yathābhūtaṁ nābbhaññāsiṁ, neva tāvāhaṁ, bhikkhave, ‘sadevake loke samārake sabrahmake sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya anuttaraṁ sammāsambodhiṁ abhisambuddho’ti paccaññāsiṁ.As long as I didn’t truly understand these five grasping aggregates’ gratification, drawback, and escape in this way for what they are, I didn’t announce my supreme perfect awakening in this world with its gods, Māras, and divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans.

2.2Yato ca khvāhaṁ, bhikkhave, imesaṁ pañcannaṁ upādānakkhandhānaṁ evaṁ assādañca assādato ādīnavañca ādīnavato nissaraṇañca nissaraṇato yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññāsiṁ;But when I did truly understand these five grasping aggregates’ gratification, drawback, and escape in this way for what they are, I announced my supreme perfect awakening in this world with its gods, Māras, and divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans.2.3athāhaṁ, bhikkhave, sadevake loke samārake sabrahmake sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya anuttaraṁ sammāsambodhiṁ abhisambuddhoti paccaññāsiṁ.

2.4Ñāṇañca pana me dassanaṁ udapādi:Knowledge and vision arose in me:2.5‘akuppā me vimutti; ayamantimā jāti; natthi dāni punabbhavo’”ti.‘My freedom is unshakable; this is my last rebirth; now there’ll be no more future lives.’”
