“Where water and earth,
fire and air find no footing;
where long and short
minute and massive, beautiful and ugly;
where name and form
are completely held in check?”

1 Therein the answer is:

“Non-manifesting consciousness
endless entirely luminous;
here water and earth
fire and air find no footing;
here long and short
minute and massive, beautful and ugly;
here name and form
are completely held in check;
with the cessation of consciousness,
there this is held in check.”

kattha āpo ca paṭhavī
tejo vāyo na gādhati;
kattha dīghañca rassañca
aṇuṃ thūlaṃ subhāsubhaṃ;
kattha nāmañca rūpañca
asesaṃ uparujjhatīti.

1 tatra veyyākaraṇa bhavatī:

viññāṇaṃ anidassanaṃ
anantaṃ sabbato pabhaṃ;
ettha āpo ca paṭhavī
tejo vāyo na gādhati;
ettha dīghañca rassañca
aṇuṃ thūlaṃ subhāsubhaṃ;
ettha nāmañca rūpañca
asesaṃ uparujjhati;
viññāṇassa nirodhena
etthetaṃ uparujjhatīti.
