1.2Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:Seated to one side, that mendicant said to the Buddha:

1.3“atthi nu kho, bhante, kiñci rūpaṁ yaṁ rūpaṁ niccaṁ dhuvaṁ sassataṁ avipariṇāmadhammaṁ sassatisamaṁ tatheva ṭhassati?“Sir, is there any form at all that’s permanent, everlasting, eternal, imperishable, and will last forever and ever?1.4Atthi nu kho, bhante, kāci vedanā yā vedanā niccā dhuvā sassatā avipariṇāmadhammā sassatisamaṁ tatheva ṭhassati?Is there any feeling …1.5Atthi nu kho, bhante, kāci saññā …pe…perception …1.6keci saṅkhārā, ye saṅkhārā niccā dhuvā sassatā avipariṇāmadhammā sassatisamaṁ tatheva ṭhassanti?choices …1.7Atthi nu kho, bhante, kiñci viññāṇaṁ, yaṁ viññāṇaṁ niccaṁ dhuvaṁ sassataṁ avipariṇāmadhammaṁ sassatisamaṁ tatheva ṭhassatī”ti?consciousness at all that’s permanent, everlasting, eternal, imperishable, and will last forever and ever?”

1.8“Natthi kho, bhikkhu, kiñci rūpaṁ, yaṁ rūpaṁ niccaṁ dhuvaṁ sassataṁ avipariṇāmadhammaṁ sassatisamaṁ tatheva ṭhassati.“Mendicant, there is no form at all that’s permanent, everlasting, eternal, imperishable, and will last forever and ever.1.9Natthi kho, bhikkhu, kāci vedanā …There’s no feeling …1.10kāci saññā …perception …1.11keci saṅkhārā …pe…choices …1.12kiñci viññāṇaṁ, yaṁ viññāṇaṁ niccaṁ dhuvaṁ sassataṁ avipariṇāmadhammaṁ sassatisamaṁ tatheva ṭhassatī”ti.consciousness at all that’s permanent, everlasting, eternal, imperishable, and will last forever and ever.”

2.1Atha kho bhagavā parittaṁ nakhasikhāyaṁ paṁsuṁ āropetvā taṁ bhikkhuṁ etadavoca:Then the Buddha, picking up a little bit of dirt on his fingernail, said to that mendicant:

2.2“ettakampi kho, bhikkhu, rūpaṁ natthi niccaṁ dhuvaṁ sassataṁ avipariṇāmadhammaṁ sassatisamaṁ tatheva ṭhassati.“There’s not even this much of any form that’s permanent, everlasting, eternal, imperishable, and will last forever and ever.2.3Ettakañcepi, bhikkhu, rūpaṁ abhavissa niccaṁ dhuvaṁ sassataṁ avipariṇāmadhammaṁ, nayidaṁ brahmacariyavāso paññāyetha sammā dukkhakkhayāya.If there were, this living of the spiritual life for the complete ending of suffering would not be found.2.4Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhu, ettakampi rūpaṁ natthi niccaṁ dhuvaṁ sassataṁ avipariṇāmadhammaṁ, tasmā brahmacariyavāso paññāyati sammā dukkhakkhayāya”.But since there isn’t, this living of the spiritual life for the complete ending of suffering is found.
