1.1PTS 4.158“‘Samuddo, samuddo’ti, bhikkhave, assutavā puthujjano bhāsati.“Mendicants, an unlearned ordinary person speaks of the ocean.1.2Neso, bhikkhave, ariyassa vinaye samuddo.But that’s not the ocean in the training of the Noble One.1.3Mahā eso, bhikkhave, udakarāsi mahāudakaṇṇavo.That’s just a large body of water, a large sea of water.

1.4Santi, bhikkhave, cakkhuviññeyyā rūpā iṭṭhā kantā manāpā piyarūpā kāmūpasaṁhitā rajanīyā.There are sights known by the eye, which are likable, desirable, agreeable, pleasant, sensual, and arousing.1.5Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ariyassa vinaye samuddo.This is called the ocean in the training of the Noble One.1.6Etthāyaṁ sadevako loko samārako sabrahmako sassamaṇabrāhmaṇī pajā sadevamanussā yebhuyyena samunnā tantākulakajātā kulagaṇṭhikajātā muñjapabbajabhūtā, apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ saṁsāraṁ nātivattati …pe….And it’s here that this world—with its gods, Māras, and divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—is for the most part sunk. It’s become tangled like string, knotted like a ball of thread, and matted like rushes and reeds, and it doesn’t escape the places of loss, the bad places, the underworld, transmigration.

2.1Santi, bhikkhave, jivhāviññeyyā rasā …pe… santi, bhikkhave, manoviññeyyā dhammā iṭṭhā kantā manāpā piyarūpā kāmūpasaṁhitā rajanīyā.There are sounds … smells … tastes … touches … ideas known by the mind, which are likable, desirable, agreeable, pleasant, sensual, and arousing.2.2Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ariyassa vinaye samuddo.This is called the ocean in the training of the Noble One.2.3Etthāyaṁ sadevako loko samārako sabrahmako sassamaṇabrāhmaṇī pajā sadevamanussā yebhuyyena samunnā tantākulakajātā kulagaṇṭhikajātā muñjapabbajabhūtā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ saṁsāraṁ nātivattatīti.And it’s here that this world—with its gods, Māras, and divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—is for the most part sunk. It’s become tangled like string, knotted like a ball of thread, and matted like rushes and reeds, and it doesn’t escape the places of loss, the bad places, the underworld, transmigration.

3.1Yassa rāgo ca doso ca,Those in whom greed, hate, and ignorance¹3.2Avijjā ca virājitā;have faded away;3.3So imaṁ samuddaṁ sagāhaṁ sarakkhasaṁ,have crossed the ocean so hard to cross,3.4Saūmibhayaṁ duttaraṁ accatari.with its saltwater crocodiles and monsters, <j>its waves and dangers.

4.1Saṅgātigo maccujaho nirupadhi,They’ve slipped their chains, given up death, and have no attachments.4.2Pahāsi dukkhaṁ apunabbhavāya;They’ve given up suffering, <j>so there are no more future lives.4.3Atthaṅgato so na puneti,They’ve disappeared, and cannot be measured;4.4Amohayī maccurājanti brūmī”ti.and they’ve confounded the King of Death, I say.”
