सावत्थियं विहरति।
Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.
At Sāvatthī.
“अनमतग्गोयं, भिक्खवे, संसारो। पुब्बा कोटि न पञ्ञायति अविज्जानीवरणानं सत्तानं तण्हासंयोजनानं सन्धावतं संसरतं। सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, पुरिसो इमं महापथविं कोलट्ठिमत्तं कोलट्ठिमत्तं मत्तिकागुळिकं करित्वा निक्खिपेय्य: ‘अयं मे पिता, तस्स मे पितु अयं पिताऽति, अपरियादिन्नाव भिक्खवे, तस्स पुरिसस्स पितुपितरो अस्सु, अथायं महापथवी परिक्खयं परियादानं गच्छेय्य।
“Anamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro. Pubbā koṭi na paññāyati avijjānīvaraṇānaṁ sattānaṁ taṇhāsaṁyojanānaṁ sandhāvataṁ saṁsarataṁ. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, puriso imaṁ mahāpathaviṁ kolaṭṭhimattaṁ kolaṭṭhimattaṁ mattikāguḷikaṁ karitvā nikkhipeyya: ‘ayaṁ me pitā, tassa me pitu ayaṁ pitā’ti, apariyādinnāva bhikkhave, tassa purisassa pitupitaro assu, athāyaṁ mahāpathavī parikkhayaṁ pariyādānaṁ gaccheyya.
“Bhikkhus, transmigration has no known beginning. No first point is found of sentient beings roaming and transmigrating, shrouded by ignorance and fettered by craving. Suppose a person was to make the whole earth into clay balls the size of jujube seeds. They’d lay them down, saying: ‘This is my father, this is my grandfather.’ The whole earth would run out before that person’s fathers and grandfathers.
तं किस्स हेतु? अनमतग्गोयं, भिक्खवे, संसारो। पुब्बा कोटि न पञ्ञायति अविज्जानीवरणानं सत्तानं तण्हासंयोजनानं सन्धावतं संसरतं। एवं दीघरत्तं वो, भिक्खवे, दुक्खं पच्चनुभूतं तिब्बं पच्चनुभूतं ब्यसनं पच्चनुभूतं, कटसी वड्ढिता। यावञ्चिदं, भिक्खवे, अलमेव सब्बसङ्खारेसु निब्बिन्दितुं, अलं विरज्जितुं, अलं विमुच्चितुन्”ति।
Taṁ kissa hetu? Anamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro. Pubbā koṭi na paññāyati avijjānīvaraṇānaṁ sattānaṁ taṇhāsaṁyojanānaṁ sandhāvataṁ saṁsarataṁ. Evaṁ dīgharattaṁ vo, bhikkhave, dukkhaṁ paccanubhūtaṁ tibbaṁ paccanubhūtaṁ byasanaṁ paccanubhūtaṁ, kaṭasī vaḍḍhitā. Yāvañcidaṁ, bhikkhave, alameva sabbasaṅkhāresu nibbindituṁ, alaṁ virajjituṁ, alaṁ vimuccitun”ti.
Why is that? Transmigration has no known beginning. No first point is found of sentient beings roaming and transmigrating, shrouded by ignorance and fettered by craving. For such a long time you have undergone suffering, agony, and disaster, swelling the cemeteries. This is quite enough for you to become disillusioned, dispassionate, and freed regarding all conditions.”
