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

“Cattārome, bhikkhave, taṇhuppādā, yattha bhikkhuno taṇhā uppajjamānā uppajjati.“Monks, there are these four birthplaces of craving where a monk’s craving, when taking birth, takes birth. Katame cattāro?Which four? Cīvarahetu vā, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno taṇhā uppajjamānā uppajjati;Either for the sake of cloth a monk’s craving, when taking birth, takes birth. piṇḍapātahetu vā, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno taṇhā uppajjamānā uppajjati;Or for the sake of alms food a monk’s craving, when taking birth, takes birth. senāsanahetu vā, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno taṇhā uppajjamānā uppajjati;Or for the sake of lodging a monk’s craving, when taking birth, takes birth. itibhavābhavahetu vā, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno taṇhā uppajjamānā uppajjati.
itibhavābhavahetu → itibhagavābh-, C. (pts note) | bhikkhave → Om. D. E. (pts note) | itibhavābhavahetu → iti bhavābhavahetu (th)Or for the sake of becoming or not becoming this or that a monk’s craving, when taking birth, takes birth. Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro taṇhuppādā yattha bhikkhuno taṇhā uppajjamānā uppajjatī”ti.
bhikkhuno → y- bhikkhave t-, B. C.; Pa. has great confusion in the prose part of this sutta. (pts note)These are the four birthplaces of craving where a monk’s craving, when taking birth, takes birth.”

Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Taṇhādutiyo puriso, dīghamaddhāna saṁsaraṁ;
dīghamaddhāna → dīghamaddhānaṁ (pts) | dīgham-addhānaṁ → All MSS. except Pa. have addhāna. (pts note) | saṁsaraṁ → -sāraṁ, P. Pa. (pts note)With craving his companion, a man wanders on a long, long time. Itthabhāvaññathābhāvaṁ, saṁsaraṁ nātivattati.
saṁsaraṁ → saṁsāraṁ (bj, cck, sya-all, pts) | saṁsāraṁ → saṁsaraṁ, B. (pts note)Neither in this state here nor anywhere else does he go beyond the wandering- on.

Etamādīnavaṁ ñatvā, taṇhaṁ dukkhassa sambhavaṁ;
etamādīnavaṁ → evamādīnavaṁ (bj, pts) | etamādīnavaṁ → evam-ādīnavaṁ (pts) taṇhaṁ → taṇhā (sya-all, pts) | dukkhassa → taṇhaṁ d-, M.; taṇhāhetussa, Pa. (pts note)Knowing this drawback– that craving brings stress into play– Vītataṇho anādāno, sato bhikkhu paribbaje”ti.
paribbajeti → paribbaje (pts)free from craving, devoid of clinging, mindful, the monk lives the mendicant life.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
Cat.7 → This whole sutta occurs also in Aṅguttara Nikāya-Tik. 31, and Cat. 63: the Tikanipāta contains the more original version, being in accordance with the gāthās. The second sentence of the present sutta (sapubbadevatāni) is additional. * The whole sutta occurs Aṅgutt.-Nik. Cat. 9. (pts note)

Chaṭṭhaṁ.
