Gives Birth (1st)
“කිංසු ජනේති පුරිසං, කිංසු තස්ස විධාවති; කිංසු සංසාරමාපාදි, කිංසු තස්ස මහබ්භයන්”ති.
“What gives birth to a person? What do they have that runs about? What enters transmigration? What’s their greatest fear?”
“තණ්හා ජනේති පුරිසං, චිත්තමස්ස විධාවති; සත්තෝ සංසාරමාපාදි, දුක්ඛමස්ස මහබ්භයන්”ති.
“Craving gives birth to a person. Their mind is what runs about. A sentient being enters transmigration. Suffering is their greatest fear.”
