A Duality (1st)
“द्वयं वो, भिक्खवे, देसेस्सामि। तं सुणाथ।
“Dvayaṁ vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi. Taṁ suṇātha.
“Bhikkhus, I will teach you a duality. Listen …
किञ्च, भिक्खवे, द्वयं? चक्खुञ्चेव रूपा च, सोतञ्चेव सद्दा च, घानञ्चेव गन्धा च, जिव्हा चेव रसा च, कायो चेव फोट्ठब्बा च, मनो चेव धम्मा च—इदं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, द्वयं।
Kiñca, bhikkhave, dvayaṁ? Cakkhuñceva rūpā ca, sotañceva saddā ca, ghānañceva gandhā ca, jivhā ceva rasā ca, kāyo ceva phoṭṭhabbā ca, mano ceva dhammā ca—idaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, dvayaṁ.
And what is a duality? It’s just the eye and sights, the ear and sounds, the nose and smells, the tongue and tastes, the body and touches, and the mind and thoughts. This is called a duality.
यो, भिक्खवे, एवं वदेय्य: ‘अहमेतं द्वयं पच्चक्खाय अञ्ञं द्वयं पञ्ञपेस्सामीऽति, तस्स वाचावत्थुकमेवस्स। पुट्ठो च न सम्पायेय्य। उत्तरिञ्च विघातं आपज्जेय्य। तं किस्स हेतु? यथा तं, भिक्खवे, अविसयस्मिन्”ति।
Yo, bhikkhave, evaṁ vadeyya: ‘ahametaṁ dvayaṁ paccakkhāya aññaṁ dvayaṁ paññapessāmī’ti, tassa vācāvatthukamevassa. Puṭṭho ca na sampāyeyya. Uttariñca vighātaṁ āpajjeyya. Taṁ kissa hetu? Yathā taṁ, bhikkhave, avisayasmin”ti.
Bhikkhus, suppose someone was to say: ‘I’ll reject this duality and describe another duality.’ They’d have no grounds for that, they’d be stumped by questions, and, in addition, they’d get frustrated. Why is that? Because they’re out of their element.”

Navamaṁ.
