1 Sāvatthinidānaṃ. "Rūpaṃ, bhikkhave, aniccaṃ. Yadaniccaṃ taṃ dukkhaṃ; yaṃ dukkhaṃ tadanattā; yadanattā taṃ ‘netaṃ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti evametaṃ yathābhūtaṃ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṃ. Vedanā … saññā … sankhārā … viññāṇaṃ aniccaṃ. Yadaniccaṃ taṃ dukkhaṃ; yaṃ dukkhaṃ tadanattā; yadanattā taṃ ‘netaṃ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti evametaṃ yathābhūtaṃ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṃ.

2 Evaṃ passaṃ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako rūpasmimpi nibbindati, vedanāyapi … saññāyapi … sankhāresupi … viññāṇasmimpi nibbindati. Nibbindaṃ virajjati; virāgā vimuccati. Vimuttasmiṃ vimuttamiti ñāṇaṃ hoti. ‘Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā’ti pajānāti. Yāvatā, bhikkhave, sattāvāsā, yāvatā bhavaggaṃ, ete aggā, ete seṭṭhā lokasmiṃ yadidaṃ arahanto"ti.

3 Idamavoca bhagavā. Idaṃ vatvāna sugato athāparaṃ etadavoca satthā: 

4 "Sukhino vata arahanto,
taṇhā tesaṃ na vijjati;
Asmimāno samucchinno,
mohajālaṃ padālitaṃ.

5 Anejaṃ te anuppattā,
cittaṃ tesaṃ anāvilaṃ;
Loke anupalittā te,
brahmabhūtā anāsavā.

6 Pañcakkhandhe pariññāya,
satta saddhammagocarā;
Pasaṃsiyā sappurisā,
puttā buddhassa orasā.

7 Sattaratanasampannā,
Tīsu sikkhāsu sikkhitā;
Anuvicaranti mahāvīrā,
Pahīnabhayabheravā.

8 Dasahangehi sampannā,
mahānāgā samāhitā;
Ete kho seṭṭhā lokasmiṃ,
taṇhā tesaṃ na vijjati.

9 Asekhañāṇamuppannaṃ,
antimoyaṃ samussayo;
Yo sāro brahmacariyassa,
tasmiṃ aparapaccayā.

10 Vidhāsu na vikampanti,
vippamuttā punabbhavā;
Dantabhūmimanuppattā,
te loke vijitāvino.

11 Uddhaṃ tiriyaṃ apācīnaṃ,
nandī tesaṃ na vijjati;
Nadanti te sīhanādaṃ,
buddhā loke anuttarā"ti.

Catutthaṃ.
