सावत्थियं विहरति।
Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.
At Sāvatthī.
“अनमतग्गोयं, भिक्खवे, संसारो। पुब्बा कोटि न पञ्ञायति अविज्जानीवरणानं सत्तानं तण्हासंयोजनानं सन्धावतं संसरतं। सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, दण्डो उपरिवेहासं खित्तो सकिम्पि मूलेन निपतति, सकिम्पि मज्झेन निपतति, सकिम्पि अन्तेन निपतति; एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, अविज्जानीवरणा सत्ता तण्हासंयोजना सन्धावन्ता संसरन्ता सकिम्पि अस्मा लोका परं लोकं गच्छन्ति, सकिम्पि परस्मा लोका इमं लोकं आगच्छन्ति।
“Anamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro. Pubbā koṭi na paññāyati avijjānīvaraṇānaṁ sattānaṁ taṇhāsaṁyojanānaṁ sandhāvataṁ saṁsarataṁ. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, daṇḍo uparivehāsaṁ khitto sakimpi mūlena nipatati, sakimpi majjhena nipatati, sakimpi antena nipatati; evameva kho, bhikkhave, avijjānīvaraṇā sattā taṇhāsaṁyojanā sandhāvantā saṁsarantā sakimpi asmā lokā paraṁ lokaṁ gacchanti, sakimpi parasmā lokā imaṁ lokaṁ āgacchanti.
“Bhikkhus, transmigration has no known beginning. No first point is found of sentient beings roaming and transmigrating, shrouded by ignorance and fettered by craving. Suppose a stick was tossed up in the air. Sometimes it’d fall on its bottom, sometimes the middle, and sometimes the end. It’s the same for sentient beings roaming and transmigrating, shrouded by ignorance and fettered by craving. Sometimes they go from this world to the other world, and sometimes they come from the other world to this world.
तं किस्स हेतु? अनमतग्गोयं, भिक्खवे, संसारो …पे… अलं विमुच्चितुन्”ति।
Taṁ kissa hetu? Anamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro …pe… alaṁ vimuccitun”ti.
Why is that? Transmigration has no known beginning. … This is quite enough for you to become disillusioned, dispassionate, and freed regarding all conditions.”
नवमं।
Navamaṁ.
