Samaṇabrāhmaṇasutta

Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
vuttañhetaṁ → vuttaṁ hetaṁ (bjt)
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:

“Ye hi keci, bhikkhave, samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yathābhūtaṁ nappajānanti; ‘ayaṁ dukkhasamudayo’ti yathābhūtaṁ nappajānanti; ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodho’ti yathābhūtaṁ nappajānanti; ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṁ nappajānanti—
hi → (sya-all) | keci → kāci, B.; yo hi ko ci, C. (pts note) | vā → Om. D. E. (pts note) | brāhmaṇā → B. P. Pa. have always brahm-, with short a, brahmaṇatthaṁ, also other MSS.; M. has always brāhm-. (pts note) | nappajānanti → na pa-, P. Pa. (pts note) | dukkhanirodhagāminī → -ī, C. D. E.; the other MSS. -i. (pts note) | dukkhanti → dukkhan-ti (pts) | nappajānanti → na-ppajānanti (pts) | dukkhasamudayoti → dukkhasamudayo ti (pts) | dukkhanirodhoti → dukkhanirodho ti (pts) | paṭipadāti → paṭipadā ti (pts)
“Monks, any contemplatives or brahmans who do not discern, as it has come to be, that ‘This is stress,’ … that ‘This is the origination of stress,’ … that ‘This is the cessation of stress,’ who do not discern, as it has come to be, that ‘This is the path of practice leading to the cessation of stress’:
na me te, bhikkhave, samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā samaṇesu vā samaṇasammatā brāhmaṇesu vā brāhmaṇasammatā, na ca panete āyasmanto sāmaññatthaṁ vā brahmaññatthaṁ vā diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharanti.
brahmaññatthaṁ → brāhmaññatthaṁ (pts) | me → na te me, M.; the other MSS. na me te. (pts note) | vā → ceva, P. Pa. (pts note) | brāhmaṇasammatā → Om. C. (pts note) | pan-ete → te ca pana, B. (pts note) | āyasmanto → -manto, M. P. Pa.; -mantā, B. D. E.; -manti, C. (pts note) | brāhmaññatthaṁ → -attaṁ, B. P. Pa. (pts note) | + → na-ppajānanti (pts) | diṭṭheva → diṭṭhe va (pts)
to me these contemplatives & brahmans do not count as contemplatives among contemplatives or as brahmans among brahmans. Furthermore, they do not enter & remain in the goal of the contemplative life or the goal of brahmanly life, having directly known & realized it for themselves right in the here-&-now.

Ye ca kho keci, bhikkhave, samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānanti; ‘ayaṁ dukkhasamudayo’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānanti; ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodho’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānanti; ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānanti—
bhikkhave → (bj) | keci → ye hi keci, D. E.; instead of sacchikatvā . . . keci Pa. has: taṁ na-ppajānanti. (pts note) | ayaṁ → idaṁ, C. (pts note) | dukkhanirodhagāminī → -ī, D. E.; the other MSS. -i; C. omits gāminī. (pts note) | paṭipadā → patip-, P. Pa. (pts note) | dukkhanti → dukkhan-ti (pts) | dukkhasamudayoti → dukkhasamudayo ti (pts) | dukkhanirodhoti → dukkhanirodho ti (pts) | paṭipadāti → paṭipadā ti (pts)
“But any contemplatives or brahmans who discern, as it has come to be, that ‘This is stress,’ … that ‘This is the origination of stress,’ … that ‘This is the cessation of stress,’ who discern, as it has come to be, that ‘This is the path of practice leading to the cessation of stress’:
te kho me, bhikkhave, samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā samaṇesu ceva samaṇasammatā brāhmaṇesu ca brāhmaṇasammatā, te ca panāyasmanto sāmaññatthañca brahmaññatthañca diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharantī”ti.
te → te ca (sya-all) | brahmaññatthañca diṭṭheva → brāhmaññatthañca diṭṭhe va (pts) | me → te kho me, M. P.; te na kho me, B. C. Pa.; te ca kho me, D. E. (pts note) | pan-āyasmanto → -o, M. P.; the other MSS. -ā. (pts note) | sāmaññatthañca → -attañca, B. P. Pa. (pts note) | brāhmaññatthañca → brahmaṇattañca, P. Pa.; om. B. (pts note) | abhiññā → abhiññāya, C.; for the whole passage cp. Aṅgutt.-Nik. Cat. 5, 1, etc. (pts note) | viharantīti → viharatīti, B. C. (pts note) | kho me → khome (bjt)
to me these contemplatives & brahmans count as contemplatives among contemplatives and as brahmans among brahmans. Furthermore, they enter & remain in the goal of the contemplative life & the goal of the brahmanly life, having directly known & realized it for themselves right in the here-&-now.”

Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Ye dukkhaṁ nappajānanti, atho dukkhassa sambhavaṁ;
nappajānanti → na-ppajānanti (pts) atho → attho, C.; yato, B. (pts note)
Those who don’t discern stress, stress’s coming into play,
Yattha ca sabbaso dukkhaṁ, asesaṁ uparujjhati;
ca → yatthañca, D. E.; yathā ca, C.; yato ca, B. (pts note) | dukkhaṁ → dukkha (bjt)
& where it totally stops, without trace,
Tañca maggaṁ na jānanti, dukkhūpasamagāminaṁ.
dukkhūpasamagāminaṁ → dukkhupa-, B. M. P. Pa. (pts note)
who don’t know the path, the way to the stilling of stress:

Cetovimuttihīnā te, atho paññāvimuttiyā;
te → -vimuttinātena, C.; -vimuttisampannā, B. (pts note) atho → attho, B. C. (pts note)
lowly in their awareness-release & discernment-release,
Abhabbā te antakiriyāya, te ve jātijarūpagā.
abhabbā → bhabbā, Pa. (pts note) ve → na te, B. C. (pts note) | jātijarūpagā → -jarupa-, B.; B. C. D. E. add ti. (pts note)
incapable of making an end, they’re headed to birth & aging.

Ye ca dukkhaṁ pajānanti, atho dukkhassa sambhavaṁ;
ca → Om. B. (pts note) atho → yato, B. C. M. P. Pa. (pts note)
But those who discern stress, stress’s coming into play,
Yattha ca sabbaso dukkhaṁ, asesaṁ uparujjhati;
yattha → yatta, B. (pts note)
& where it totally stops, without trace,
Tañca maggaṁ pajānanti, dukkhūpasamagāminaṁ.
dukkhūpasamagāminaṁ → dukkhupa-, B. P. Pa. (pts note)
who discern the path, the way to the stilling of stress:

Cetovimuttisampannā, atho paññāvimuttiyā;
atho → attho, C. (pts note)
consummate in their awareness-release & discernment-release,
Bhabbā te antakiriyāya, na te jātijarūpagā”ti.
bhabbā → bhabbā, M.; the other MSS. sabbā. (pts note) jātijarūpagāti → jātijarūpagā (pts)
capable of making an end, they are not headed to birth & aging.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
ti → -jarupa-, P. Pa.; B. has the two last gāthās twice, the first time very corrupt. (pts note)

Catutthaṁ.
