1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, I set out seeking the gratification in form. Whatever gratification there is in form—that I discovered. I have clearly seen with wisdom just how far the gratification in form extends.

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. "Rūpassāhaṁ, bhikkhave, assādapariyesanaṁ acariṁ. Yo rūpassa assādo tadajjhagamaṁ. Yāvatā rūpassa assādo paññāya me so sudiṭṭho.

"Bhikkhus, I set out seeking the danger in form. Whatever danger there is in form—that I discovered. I have clearly seen with wisdom just how far the danger in form extends.

Rūpassāhaṁ, bhikkhave, ādīnavapariyesanaṁ acariṁ. Yo rūpassa ādīnavo tadajjhagamaṁ. Yāvatā rūpassa ādīnavo paññāya me so sudiṭṭho.

"Bhikkhus, I set out seeking the escape from form. Whatever escape there is from form—that I discovered. I have clearly seen with wisdom just how far the escape from form extends.

Rūpassāhaṁ, bhikkhave, nissaraṇapariyesanaṁ acariṁ. Yaṁ rūpassa nissaraṇaṁ tadajjhagamaṁ.

"Bhikkhus, I set out seeking the gratification in … the danger in … the escape from feeling … from perception … from volitional formations … from consciousness. Whatever escape there is from consciousness—that I discovered. I have clearly seen with wisdom just how far the escape from consciousness extends.

Yāvatā rūpassa nissaraṇaṁ paññāya me taṁ sudiṭṭhaṁ. Vedanāyāhaṁ, bhikkhave … saññāyāhaṁ, bhikkhave … saṅkhārānāhaṁ, bhikkhave … viññāṇassāhaṁ, bhikkhave, assādapariyesanaṁ acariṁ. Yo viññāṇassa assādo tadajjhagamaṁ. Yāvatā viññāṇassa assādo paññāya me so sudiṭṭho. Viññāṇassāhaṁ, bhikkhave, ādīnavapariyesanaṁ acariṁ. Yo viññāṇassa ādīnavo tadajjhagamaṁ.

"So long, bhikkhus, as I did not directly know as they really are the gratification, the danger, and the escape in the case of these five aggregates subject to clinging, I did not claim to have awakened to the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment in this world with its devas, Māra, and Brahma, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, its devas and humans. But when I directly knew all this as it really is, then I claimed to have awakened to the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment in this world with … its devas and humans.

Yāvatā viññāṇassa ādīnavo paññāya me so sudiṭṭho. Viññāṇassāhaṁ, bhikkhave, nissaraṇapariyesanaṁ acariṁ. Yaṁ viññāṇassa nissaraṇaṁ tadajjhagamaṁ. Yāvatā viññāṇassa nissaraṇaṁ paññāya me taṁ sudiṭṭhaṁ. Yāvakīvañcāhaṁ, bhikkhave, imesaṁ pañcannaṁ upādānakkhandhānaṁ assādañca assādato ādīnavañca ādīnavato nissaraṇañca nissaraṇato yathābhūtaṁ nābbhaññāsiṁ … pe … abbhaññāsiṁ.

"The knowledge and vision arose in me: ‘Unshakable is my liberation of mind; this is my last birth; now there is no more renewed existence.’"

Ñāṇañca pana me dassanaṁ udapādi: ‘akuppā me vimutti; ayamantimā jāti; natthi dāni punabbhavo’"ti.

Chaṭṭhaṁ.
