A Tangle
“अन्तोजटा बहिजटा, जटाय जटिता पजा; तं तं गोतम पुच्छामि, को इमं विजटये जटन्”ति।
“Antojaṭā bahijaṭā, Jaṭāya jaṭitā pajā; Taṁ taṁ gotama pucchāmi, Ko imaṁ vijaṭaye jaṭan”ti.
“Tangled within, tangled without: these people are tangled in tangles. I ask you this, Gotama: who can untangle this tangle?”
“सीले पतिट्ठाय नरो सपञ्ञो, चित्तं पञ्ञञ्च भावयं; आतापी निपको भिक्खु, सो इमं विजटये जटं।
“Sīle patiṭṭhāya naro sapañño, Cittaṁ paññañca bhāvayaṁ; Ātāpī nipako bhikkhu, So imaṁ vijaṭaye jaṭaṁ.
“A wise person grounded in ethics, developing the mind and wisdom, a keen and alert bhikkhu—they can untangle this tangle.
येसं रागो च दोसो च, अविज्जा च विराजिता; खीणासवा अरहन्तो, तेसं विजटिता जटा।
Yesaṁ rāgo ca doso ca, avijjā ca virājitā; Khīṇāsavā arahanto, tesaṁ vijaṭitā jaṭā.
Those in whom greed, hate, and ignorance have faded away; the perfected ones with defilements ended—they have untangled the tangle.
यत्थ नामञ्च रूपञ्च, असेसं उपरुज्झति; पटिघं रूपसञ्ञा च, एत्थेसा छिज्जते जटा”ति।
Yattha nāmañca rūpañca, asesaṁ uparujjhati; Paṭighaṁ rūpasaññā ca, etthesā chijjate1 jaṭā”ti.
And where name and form cease with nothing left over; as well as impingement and perception of form: it’s there that the tangle is cut.”
