1 Ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā vajjīsu viharati koṭigāme. Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:  "catunnaṃ, bhikkhave, ariyasaccānaṃ ananubodhā appaṭivedhā evamidaṃ dīghamaddhānaṃ sandhāvitaṃ saṃsaritaṃ mamañceva tumhākañca.

2 Katamesaṃ catunnaṃ? Dukkhassa, bhikkhave, ariyasaccassa ananubodhā appaṭivedhā evamidaṃ dīghamaddhānaṃ sandhāvitaṃ saṃsaritaṃ mamañceva tumhākañca. Dukkhasamudayassa ariyasaccassa … pe … dukkhanirodhassa ariyasaccassa … pe … dukkhanirodhagāminiyā paṭipadāya ariyasaccassa ananubodhā appaṭivedhā evamidaṃ dīghamaddhānaṃ sandhāvitaṃ saṃsaritaṃ mamañceva tumhākañca. Tayidaṃ, bhikkhave, dukkhaṃ ariyasaccaṃ anubuddhaṃ paṭividdhaṃ, dukkhasamudayaṃ ariyasaccaṃ anubuddhaṃ paṭividdhaṃ, dukkhanirodhaṃ ariyasaccaṃ anubuddhaṃ paṭividdhaṃ, dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā ariyasaccaṃ anubuddhaṃ paṭividdhaṃ; ucchinnā bhavataṇhā, khīṇā bhavanetti; natthi dāni punabbhavo"ti.

3 Idamavoca bhagavā. Idaṃ vatvāna sugato athāparaṃ etadavoca satthā: 

4 "Catunnaṃ ariyasaccānaṃ,
Yathābhūtaṃ adassanā;
Saṃsitaṃ dīghamaddhānaṃ,
Tāsu tāsveva jātisu.

5 Tāni etāni diṭṭhāni,
bhavanetti samūhatā;
Ucchinnaṃ mūlaṃ dukkhassa,
natthi dāni punabbhavo"ti.

Paṭhamaṃ.
