1 Evaṃ me sutaṃ—​   ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā uruvelāyaṃ viharati najjā nerañjarāya tīre bodhirukkhamūle paṭhamābhisambuddho. Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā sattāhaṃ ekapallankena nisinno hoti vimuttisukhapaṭisaṃvedī.

2 Atha kho bhagavā tassa sattāhassa accayena tamhā samādhimhā vuṭṭhahitvā buddhacakkhunā lokaṃ volokesi. Addasā kho bhagavā buddhacakkhunā volokento satte anekehi santāpehi santappamāne, anekehi ca pariḷāhehi pariḍayhamāne – rāgajehipi, dosajehipi, mohajehipi.

3 Atha kho bhagavā etamatthaṃ viditvā tāyaṃ velāyaṃ imaṃ udānaṃ udānesi: 

4 "Ayaṃ loko santāpajāto,
Phassapareto rogaṃ vadati attato;
Yena yena hi maññati,
Tato taṃ hoti aññathā.

5 Aññathābhāvī bhavasatto loko,
Bhavapareto bhavamevābhinandati;
Yadabhinandati taṃ bhayaṃ,
Yassa bhāyati taṃ dukkhaṃ;
Bhavavippahānāya kho,
Panidaṃ brahmacariyaṃ vussati.

6 ‘Ye hi keci samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā bhavena bhavassa vippamokkhamāhaṃsu, sabbe te avippamuttā bhavasmā’ti vadāmi. ‘Ye vā pana keci samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā vibhavena bhavassa nissaraṇamāhaṃsu, sabbe te anissaṭā bhavasmā’ti vadāmi.

7 Upadhiñhi paṭicca dukkhamidaṃ sambhoti, sabbupādānakkhayā natthi dukkhassa sambhavo. Lokamimaṃ passa; puthū avijjāya paretā bhūtā bhūtaratā aparimuttā; ye hi keci bhavā sabbadhi sabbatthatāya sabbe te bhavā aniccā dukkhā vipariṇāmadhammāti.

8 Evametaṃ yathābhūtaṃ,
Sammappaññāya passato;
Bhavataṇhā pahīyati,
Vibhavaṃ nābhinandati;
Sabbaso taṇhānaṃ khayā,
Asesavirāganirodho nibbānaṃ.

9 Tassa nibbutassa bhikkhuno,
Anupādā punabbhavo na hoti;
Abhibhūto māro vijitasangāmo,
Upaccagā sabbabhavāni tādī"ti.

Dasamaṃ.

Nandavaggo tatiyo.

10 Kammaṃ nando yasojo ca,
sāriputto ca kolito;
Pilindo kassapo piṇḍo,
sippaṃ lokena te dasāti.
