The Ocean (2nd)
“‘समुद्दो, समुद्दोऽति, भिक्खवे, अस्सुतवा पुथुज्जनो भासति। नेसो, भिक्खवे, अरियस्स विनये समुद्दो। महा एसो, भिक्खवे, उदकरासि महाउदकण्णवो।
“‘Samuddo, samuddo’ti, bhikkhave, assutavā puthujjano bhāsati. Neso, bhikkhave, ariyassa vinaye samuddo. Mahā eso, bhikkhave, udakarāsi mahāudakaṇṇavo.
“Bhikkhus, an unlearned ordinary person speaks of the ocean. But that’s not the ocean in the training of the Noble One. That’s just a large body of water, a large sea of water.
सन्ति, भिक्खवे, चक्खुविञ्ञेय्या रूपा इट्ठा कन्ता मनापा पियरूपा कामूपसंहिता रजनीया। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, अरियस्स विनये समुद्दो। एत्थायं सदेवको लोको समारको सब्रह्मको सस्समणब्राह्मणी पजा सदेवमनुस्सा येभुय्येन समुन्ना तन्ताकुलकजाता कुलगण्ठिकजाता मुञ्जपब्बजभूता, अपायं दुग्गतिं विनिपातं संसारं नातिवत्तति …पे…।
Santi, bhikkhave, cakkhuviññeyyā rūpā iṭṭhā kantā manāpā piyarūpā kāmūpasaṁhitā rajanīyā. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ariyassa vinaye samuddo. Etthāyaṁ sadevako loko samārako sabrahmako sassamaṇabrāhmaṇī pajā sadevamanussā yebhuyyena samunnā tantākulakajātā kulagaṇṭhikajātā1 muñjapabbajabhūtā, apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ saṁsāraṁ nātivattati …pe….
There are sights known by the eye that are likable, desirable, agreeable, pleasant, sensual, and arousing. This is called the ocean in the training of the Noble One. And it’s here that this world—with its gods, Māras and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—is for the most part sunk. It’s become tangled like string, knotted like a ball of thread, and matted like rushes and reeds, and it doesn’t escape the places of loss, the bad places, the underworld, transmigration.
सन्ति, भिक्खवे, जिव्हाविञ्ञेय्या रसा …पे… सन्ति, भिक्खवे, मनोविञ्ञेय्या धम्मा इट्ठा कन्ता मनापा पियरूपा कामूपसंहिता रजनीया। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, अरियस्स विनये समुद्दो। एत्थायं सदेवको लोको समारको सब्रह्मको सस्समणब्राह्मणी पजा सदेवमनुस्सा येभुय्येन समुन्ना तन्ताकुलकजाता कुलगण्ठिकजाता मुञ्जपब्बजभूता अपायं दुग्गतिं विनिपातं संसारं नातिवत्ततीति।
Santi, bhikkhave, jivhāviññeyyā rasā …pe… santi, bhikkhave, manoviññeyyā dhammā iṭṭhā kantā manāpā piyarūpā kāmūpasaṁhitā rajanīyā. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ariyassa vinaye samuddo. Etthāyaṁ sadevako loko samārako sabrahmako sassamaṇabrāhmaṇī pajā sadevamanussā yebhuyyena samunnā tantākulakajātā kulagaṇṭhikajātā muñjapabbajabhūtā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ saṁsāraṁ nātivattatīti.
There are sounds … smells … tastes … touches … thoughts known by the mind that are likable, desirable, agreeable, pleasant, sensual, and arousing. This is called the ocean in the training of the Noble One. And it’s here that this world—with its gods, Māras and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—is for the most part sunk. It’s become tangled like string, knotted like a ball of thread, and matted like rushes and reeds, and it doesn’t escape the places of loss, the bad places, the underworld, transmigration.
यस्स रागो च दोसो च, अविज्जा च विराजिता; सो इमं समुद्दं सगाहं सरक्खसं, सऊमिभयं दुत्तरं अच्चतरि।
Yassa rāgo ca doso ca, Avijjā ca virājitā; So imaṁ samuddaṁ sagāhaṁ sarakkhasaṁ, Saūmibhayaṁ duttaraṁ accatari.
Those in whom greed, hate, and ignorance have faded away; have crossed the ocean so hard to cross, with its saltwater crocodiles and monsters,
its waves and dangers.
सङ्गातिगो मच्चुजहो निरुपधि, पहासि दुक्खं अपुनब्भवाय; अत्थङ्गतो सो न पुनेति, अमोहयी मच्चुराजन्ति ब्रूमी”ति।
Saṅgātigo maccujaho nirupadhi, Pahāsi dukkhaṁ apunabbhavāya; Atthaṅgato so na puneti, Amohayī maccurājanti brūmī”ti.
They’ve slipped their chains, given up death, and have no attachments. They’ve given up suffering,
दुतियं।
Dutiyaṁ.
