  • 3. Chaḷindriyavagga  3. The Six Faculties

Punabbhavasutta 
Punabbhavasutta → nabbhavo or ñāṇavā (pts1ed)
Future Lives

“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, indriyāni.  “Mendicants, there are these five faculties.
Katamāni pañca?  What five?
Saddhindriyaṁ …pe… paññindriyaṁ.  The faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom.
Yāvakīvañcāhaṁ, bhikkhave, imesaṁ pañcannaṁ indriyānaṁ samudayañca atthaṅgamañca assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṁ nābbhaññāsiṁ, neva tāvāhaṁ, bhikkhave, sadevake loke samārake sabrahmake sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya ‘anuttaraṁ sammāsambodhiṁ abhisambuddho’ti paccaññāsiṁ. 
Yāvakīvañcāhaṁ → yāvakīvāhaṁ (bj) | abhisambuddho’ti paccaññāsiṁ → abhisambuddho paccaññāsiṁ (bj, sya-all, km)
As long as I didn’t truly understand these five faculties’ gratification, drawback, and escape, I didn’t announce my supreme perfect awakening in this world with its gods, Māras, and Divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans.

Yato ca khvāhaṁ, bhikkhave, imesaṁ pañcannaṁ indriyānaṁ samudayañca atthaṅgamañca assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññāsiṁ, athāhaṁ, bhikkhave, sadevake loke samārake sabrahmake sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya ‘anuttaraṁ sammāsambodhiṁ abhisambuddho’ti paccaññāsiṁ.  But when I did truly understand these five faculties’ gratification, drawback, and escape, I announced my supreme perfect awakening in this world with its gods, Māras, and Divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans.

Ñāṇañca pana me dassanaṁ udapādi:  Knowledge and vision arose in me:
‘akuppā me vimutti, ayamantimā jāti, natthi dāni punabbhavo’”ti. 
vimutti → cetovimutti (bj, pts1ed, mr)
‘My freedom is unshakable; this is my last rebirth; now there’ll be no more future lives.’”

Paṭhamaṁ.
