बाराणसियं विहरन्ति इसिपतने मिगदाये …पे…
Bārāṇasiyaṁ viharanti isipatane migadāye …pe…
At Varanasi.
“‘अविज्जा, अविज्जाऽति, आवुसो सारिपुत्त, वुच्चति। कतमा नु खो, आवुसो, अविज्जा; कित्तावता च अविज्जागतो होती”ति?
“‘avijjā, avijjā’ti, āvuso sāriputta, vuccati. Katamā nu kho, āvuso, avijjā; kittāvatā ca avijjāgato hotī”ti?
“Friend Sāriputta, they speak of this thing called ‘ignorance’. What is ignorance? And how is an ignorant person defined?”
“इधावुसो, अस्सुतवा पुथुज्जनो रूपस्स समुदयञ्च अत्थङ्गमञ्च अस्सादञ्च आदीनवञ्च निस्सरणञ्च यथाभूतं नप्पजानाति। वेदनाय …पे… सञ्ञाय … सङ्खारानं … विञ्ञाणस्स समुदयञ्च अत्थङ्गमञ्च अस्सादञ्च आदीनवञ्च निस्सरणञ्च यथाभूतं नप्पजानाति।
“Idhāvuso, assutavā puthujjano rūpassa samudayañca atthaṅgamañca assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṁ nappajānāti. Vedanāya …pe… saññāya … saṅkhārānaṁ … viññāṇassa samudayañca atthaṅgamañca assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṁ nappajānāti.
“Friend, an unlearned ordinary person doesn’t truly understand the origin, the ending, the gratification, the drawback, and the escape when it comes to form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness.
अयं वुच्चतावुसो, अविज्जा; एत्तावता च अविज्जागतो होती”ति।
Ayaṁ vuccatāvuso, avijjā; ettāvatā ca avijjāgato hotī”ti.
This is called ignorance. And this is how an ignorant person is defined.”
