If There Were No Gratification (Interior)
“नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, चक्खुस्स अस्सादो अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता चक्खुस्मिं सारज्जेय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि चक्खुस्स अस्सादो तस्मा सत्ता चक्खुस्मिं सारज्जन्ति। नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, चक्खुस्स आदीनवो अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता चक्खुस्मिं निब्बिन्देय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि चक्खुस्स आदीनवो तस्मा सत्ता चक्खुस्मिं निब्बिन्दन्ति। नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, चक्खुस्स निस्सरणं अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता चक्खुस्मा निस्सरेय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि चक्खुस्स निस्सरणं तस्मा सत्ता चक्खुस्मा निस्सरन्ति।
“No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, cakkhussa assādo abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā cakkhusmiṁ sārajjeyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi cakkhussa assādo tasmā sattā cakkhusmiṁ sārajjanti. No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, cakkhussa ādīnavo abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā cakkhusmiṁ nibbindeyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi cakkhussa ādīnavo tasmā sattā cakkhusmiṁ nibbindanti. No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, cakkhussa nissaraṇaṁ abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā cakkhusmā nissareyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi cakkhussa nissaraṇaṁ tasmā sattā cakkhusmā nissaranti.
“Bhikkhus, if there were no gratification in the eye, sentient beings wouldn’t be aroused by it. But since there is gratification in the eye, sentient beings are aroused by it. If the eye had no drawback, sentient beings wouldn’t grow disillusioned with it. But since the eye has a drawback, sentient beings do grow disillusioned with it. If there were no escape from the eye, sentient beings wouldn’t escape from it. But since there is an escape from the eye, sentient beings do escape from it.
नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, सोतस्स अस्सादो अभविस्स … नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, घानस्स अस्सादो अभविस्स … नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, जिव्हाय अस्सादो अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता जिव्हाय सारज्जेय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि जिव्हाय अस्सादो, तस्मा सत्ता जिव्हाय सारज्जन्ति। नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, जिव्हाय आदीनवो अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता जिव्हाय निब्बिन्देय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि जिव्हाय आदीनवो, तस्मा सत्ता जिव्हाय निब्बिन्दन्ति। नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, जिव्हाय निस्सरणं अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता जिव्हाय निस्सरेय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि जिव्हाय निस्सरणं, तस्मा सत्ता जिव्हाय निस्सरन्ति। नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, कायस्स अस्सादो अभविस्स … नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, मनस्स अस्सादो अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता मनस्मिं सारज्जेय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि मनस्स अस्सादो, तस्मा सत्ता मनस्मिं सारज्जन्ति। नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, मनस्स आदीनवो अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता मनस्मिं निब्बिन्देय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि मनस्स आदीनवो, तस्मा सत्ता मनस्मिं निब्बिन्दन्ति। नो चेदं, भिक्खवे, मनस्स निस्सरणं अभविस्स, नयिदं सत्ता मनस्मा निस्सरेय्युं। यस्मा च खो, भिक्खवे, अत्थि मनस्स निस्सरणं, तस्मा सत्ता मनस्मा निस्सरन्ति।
No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, sotassa assādo abhavissa … no cedaṁ, bhikkhave, ghānassa assādo abhavissa … no cedaṁ, bhikkhave, jivhāya assādo abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā jivhāya sārajjeyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi jivhāya assādo, tasmā sattā jivhāya sārajjanti. No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, jivhāya ādīnavo abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā jivhāya nibbindeyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi jivhāya ādīnavo, tasmā sattā jivhāya nibbindanti. No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, jivhāya nissaraṇaṁ abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā jivhāya nissareyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi jivhāya nissaraṇaṁ, tasmā sattā jivhāya nissaranti. No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, kāyassa assādo abhavissa … no cedaṁ, bhikkhave, manassa assādo abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā manasmiṁ sārajjeyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi manassa assādo, tasmā sattā manasmiṁ sārajjanti. No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, manassa ādīnavo abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā manasmiṁ nibbindeyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi manassa ādīnavo, tasmā sattā manasmiṁ nibbindanti. No cedaṁ, bhikkhave, manassa nissaraṇaṁ abhavissa, nayidaṁ sattā manasmā nissareyyuṁ. Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi manassa nissaraṇaṁ, tasmā sattā manasmā nissaranti.
If there were no gratification in the ear … nose … tongue … body … mind, sentient beings wouldn’t be aroused by it. But since there is gratification in the mind, sentient beings are aroused by it. If the mind had no drawback, sentient beings wouldn’t grow disillusioned with it. But since the mind has a drawback, sentient beings do grow disillusioned with it. If there were no escape from the mind, sentient beings wouldn’t escape from it. But since there is an escape from the mind, sentient beings do escape from it.
यावकीवञ्च, भिक्खवे, सत्ता इमेसं छन्नं अज्झत्तिकानं आयतनानं अस्सादञ्च अस्सादतो, आदीनवञ्च आदीनवतो, निस्सरणञ्च निस्सरणतो यथाभूतं नाब्भञ्ञंसु, नेव ताव, भिक्खवे, सत्ता सदेवका लोका समारका सब्रह्मका सस्समणब्राह्मणिया पजाय सदेवमनुस्साय निस्सटा विसञ्ञुत्ता विप्पमुत्ता विमरियादीकतेन चेतसा विहरिंसु।
Yāvakīvañca, bhikkhave, sattā imesaṁ channaṁ ajjhattikānaṁ āyatanānaṁ assādañca assādato, ādīnavañca ādīnavato, nissaraṇañca nissaraṇato yathābhūtaṁ nābbhaññaṁsu, neva tāva, bhikkhave, sattā sadevakā lokā samārakā sabrahmakā sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya nissaṭā visaññuttā vippamuttā vimariyādīkatena1 cetasā vihariṁsu.
As long as sentient beings don’t truly understand these six interior sense fields’ 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 इमेसं छन्नं अज्झत्तिकानं आयतनानं अस्सादञ्च अस्सादतो, आदीनवञ्च आदीनवतो, निस्सरणञ्च निस्सरणतो यथाभूतं अब्भञ्ञंसु, अथ, भिक्खवे, सत्ता सदेवका लोका समारका सब्रह्मका सस्समणब्राह्मणिया पजाय सदेवमनुस्साय निस्सटा विसञ्ञुत्ता विप्पमुत्ता विमरियादीकतेन चेतसा विहरन्ती”ति।
Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, sattā imesaṁ channaṁ ajjhattikānaṁ āyatanānaṁ assādañca assādato, ādīnavañca ādīnavato, nissaraṇañca nissaraṇato yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññaṁsu, atha, bhikkhave, sattā sadevakā lokā samārakā sabrahmakā sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya nissaṭā visaññuttā vippamuttā vimariyādīkatena cetasā viharantī”ti.
But when sentient beings truly understand these six interior sense fields’ 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.”
