Old Age and Death
सावत्थिनिदानं।

At Sāvatthī.
एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो राजा पसेनदि कोसलो भगवन्तं एतदवोच: “अत्थि नु खो, भन्ते, जातस्स अञ्ञत्र जरामरणा”ति?
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho rājā pasenadi kosalo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “atthi nu kho, bhante, jātassa aññatra jarāmaraṇā”ti?
Seated to one side, King Pasenadi said to the Buddha, “Sir, for someone who has been reborn, is there any exemption from old age and death?”
“नत्थि खो, महाराज, जातस्स अञ्ञत्र जरामरणा। येपि ते, महाराज, खत्तियमहासाला अड्ढा महद्धना महाभोगा पहूतजातरूपरजता पहूतवित्तूपकरणा पहूतधनधञ्ञा, तेसम्पि जातानं नत्थि अञ्ञत्र जरामरणा। येपि ते, महाराज, ब्राह्मणमहासाला …पे… गहपतिमहासाला अड्ढा महद्धना महाभोगा पहूतजातरूपरजता पहूतवित्तूपकरणा पहूतधनधञ्ञा, तेसम्पि जातानं नत्थि अञ्ञत्र जरामरणा। येपि ते, महाराज, भिक्खू अरहन्तो खीणासवा वुसितवन्तो कतकरणीया ओहितभारा अनुप्पत्तसदत्था परिक्खीणभवसंयोजना सम्मदञ्ञाविमुत्ता, तेसम्पायं कायो भेदनधम्मो निक्खेपनधम्मो”ति।
“Natthi kho, mahārāja, jātassa aññatra jarāmaraṇā. Yepi te, mahārāja, khattiyamahāsālā aḍḍhā mahaddhanā mahābhogā pahūtajātarūparajatā pahūtavittūpakaraṇā pahūtadhanadhaññā, tesampi jātānaṁ natthi aññatra jarāmaraṇā. Yepi te, mahārāja, brāhmaṇamahāsālā …pe… gahapatimahāsālā aḍḍhā mahaddhanā mahābhogā pahūtajātarūparajatā pahūtavittūpakaraṇā pahūtadhanadhaññā, tesampi jātānaṁ natthi aññatra jarāmaraṇā. Yepi te, mahārāja, bhikkhū arahanto khīṇāsavā vusitavanto katakaraṇīyā ohitabhārā anuppattasadatthā parikkhīṇabhavasaṁyojanā sammadaññāvimuttā, tesampāyaṁ kāyo bhedanadhammo nikkhepanadhammo”ti.
“Great king, for someone who has been reborn, there’s no exemption from old age and death. Even for well-to-do aristocrats, brahmins, or householders—rich, affluent, and wealthy, with lots of gold and silver, lots of property and assets, and lots of money and grain—when they’re born, there’s no exemption from old age and death. Even for bhikkhus who are perfected—who have ended the defilements, completed the spiritual journey, done what had to be done, laid down the burden, achieved their own goal, utterly ended the fetters of rebirth, and are rightly freed through enlightenment—their bodies are liable to break up and be laid to rest.”
इदमवोच …पे…
Idamavoca …pe…
That is what the Buddha said. …
“जीरन्ति वे राजरथा सुचित्ता, अथो सरीरम्पि जरं उपेति; सतञ्च धम्मो न जरं उपेति, सन्तो हवे सब्भि पवेदयन्ती”ति।
“Jīranti ve rājarathā sucittā, Atho sarīrampi jaraṁ upeti; Satañca dhammo na jaraṁ upeti, Santo have sabbhi pavedayantī”ti.
“The fancy chariots of kings wear out, and this body too gets old. But goodness never gets old: so the true and the good proclaim.”
