“नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, पथवीधातुया अस्सादो अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता पथवीधातुया सारज्जेय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि पथवीधातुया अस्सादो, तस्मा सत्ता पथवीधातुया सारज्जन्ति। नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, पथवीधातुया आदीनवो अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता पथवीधातुया निब्बिन्देय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि पथवीधातुया आदीनवो, तस्मा सत्ता पथवीधातुया निब्बिन्दन्ति। नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, पथवीधातुया निस्सरणं अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता पथवीधातुया निस्सरेय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि पथवीधातुया निस्सरणं, तस्मा सत्ता पथवीधातुया निस्सरन्ति।
“No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, pathavīdhātuyā assādo abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā pathavīdhātuyā sārajjeyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi pathavīdhātuyā assādo, tasmā sattā pathavīdhātuyā sārajjanti. No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, pathavīdhātuyā ādīnavo abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā pathavīdhātuyā nibbindeyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi pathavīdhātuyā ādīnavo, tasmā sattā pathavīdhātuyā nibbindanti. No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, pathavīdhātuyā nissaraṇaṁ abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā pathavīdhātuyā nissareyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi pathavīdhātuyā nissaraṇaṁ, tasmā sattā pathavīdhātuyā nissaranti.
“Bhikkhus, if there were no gratification in the earth element, sentient beings wouldn’t be aroused by it. But since there is gratification in the earth element, sentient beings are aroused by it. If the earth element had no drawback, sentient beings wouldn’t grow disillusioned with it. But since the earth element has a drawback, sentient beings do grow disillusioned with it. If there were no escape from the earth element, sentient beings wouldn’t escape from it. But since there is an escape from the earth element, sentient beings do escape from it.
नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, आपोधातुया अस्सादो अभविस्स …पे… नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, तेजोधातुया …पे… नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, वायोधातुया अस्सादो अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता वायोधातुया सारज्जेय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि वायोधातुया अस्सादो, तस्मा सत्ता वायोधातुया सारज्जन्ति। नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, वायोधातुया आदीनवो अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता वायोधातुया निब्बिन्देय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि वायोधातुया आदीनवो, तस्मा सत्ता वायोधातुया निब्बिन्दन्ति। नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, वायोधातुया निस्सरणं अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता वायोधातुया निस्सरेय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि वायोधातुया निस्सरणं, तस्मा सत्ता वायोधातुया निस्सरन्ति।
No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, āpodhātuyā assādo abhavissa …pe… no cedaṁ, bhikkhave, tejodhātuyā …pe… no cedaṁ, bhikkhave, vāyodhātuyā assādo abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā vāyodhātuyā sārajjeyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi vāyodhātuyā assādo, tasmā sattā vāyodhātuyā sārajjanti. No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, vāyodhātuyā ādīnavo abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā vāyodhātuyā nibbindeyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi vāyodhātuyā ādīnavo, tasmā sattā vāyodhātuyā nibbindanti. No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, vāyodhātuyā nissaraṇaṁ abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā vāyodhātuyā nissareyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi vāyodhātuyā nissaraṇaṁ, tasmā sattā vāyodhātuyā nissaranti.
If there were no gratification in the water element … If there were no gratification in the fire element … If there were no gratification in the air element …
यावकीवञ्चिमे, भिक्खवे, सत्ता इमासं चतुन्नं धातूनं अस्सादञ्च अस्सादतो आदीनवञ्च आदीनवतो निस्सरणञ्च निस्सरणतो यथाभूतं न अब्भञ्ञंसु, नेव ताविमे, भिक्खवे, सत्ता सदेवका लोका समारका सब्रह्मका सस्समणब्राह्मणिया पजाय सदेवमनुस्साय निस्सटा विसंयुत्ता विप्पमुत्ता विमरियादिकतेन चेतसा विहरिंसु।
Yāvakīvañcime, bhikkhave, sattā imāsaṁ catunnaṁ dhātūnaṁ assādañca assādato ādīnavañca ādīnavato nissaraṇañca nissaraṇato yathābhūtaṁ na abbhaññaṁsu, neva tāvime, bhikkhave, sattā sadevakā lokā samārakā sabrahmakā sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya nissaṭā visaṁyuttā vippamuttā vimariyādikatena cetasā vihariṁsu.
As long as sentient beings don’t truly understand these four elements’ gratification, drawback, and escape for what they are, they haven’t escaped from this world—with its gods, Māras, and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans—and they don’t live detached, liberated, with a mind free of limits.
यतो च खो, भिक्खवे, सत्ता इमासं चतुन्नं धातूनं अस्सादञ्च अस्सादतो आदीनवञ्च आदीनवतो निस्सरणञ्च निस्सरणतो यथाभूतं अब्भञ्ञंसु, अथ, भिक्खवे, सत्ता सदेवका लोका समारका सब्रह्मका सस्समणब्राह्मणिया पजाय सदेवमनुस्साय निस्सटा विसंयुत्ता विप्पमुत्ता विमरियादिकतेन चेतसा विहरन्ती”ति।
Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, sattā imāsaṁ catunnaṁ dhātūnaṁ assādañca assādato ādīnavañca ādīnavato nissaraṇañca nissaraṇato yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññaṁsu, atha, bhikkhave, sattā sadevakā lokā samārakā sabrahmakā sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya nissaṭā visaṁyuttā vippamuttā vimariyādikatena cetasā viharantī”ti.
But when sentient beings truly understand these four elements’ gratification, drawback, and escape for what they are, they’ve escaped from this world—with its gods, Māras, and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans—and they live detached, liberated, with a mind free of limits.”
