A Tangle
“අන්තෝජටා බහිජටා, ජටාය ජටිතා පජා; තං තං ගෝතම පුච්ඡාමි, කෝ ඉමං විජටයේ ජටන්”ති.
“Tangled within, tangled without: these people are tangled in tangles. I ask you this, Gotama: who can untangle this tangle?”
“සීලේ පතිට්ඨාය නරෝ සපඤ්ඤෝ, චිත්තං පඤ්ඤඤ්ච භාවයං; ආතාපී නිපකෝ භික්ඛු, සෝ ඉමං විජටයේ ජටං.
“A wise person grounded in ethics, developing the mind and wisdom, a keen and alert bhikkhu—they can untangle this tangle.
යේසං රාගෝ ච දෝසෝ ච, අවිජ්ජා ච විරාජිතා; ඛීණාසවා අරහන්තෝ, තේසං විජටිතා ජටා.
Those in whom greed, hate, and ignorance have faded away; the perfected ones with defilements ended—they have untangled the tangle.
යත්ථ නාමඤ්ච රූපඤ්ච, අසේසං උපරුජ්ඣති; පටිඝං රූපසඤ්ඤා ච, ඒත්ථේසා ඡිජ්ජතේ ජටා”ති.
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.”
