The Second Chapter for Recitation - 61<br />

“Catunnaṁ Ar i yasaccānaṁ yathābhūtaṁ adassanā<br />

“Because of not seeing as it really is the Four Noble Truths<br />

saṁsitaṁ dīgham-addhānaṁ tāsu tāsveva jātisu.<br />

we have run along for a long time through various births.<br />

Tāni etāni diṭṭhāni bhavanetti samūhatā,<br />

(Now) these have been seen, what leads to rebirth is uprooted,<br />

ucchinnaṁ mūlaṁ dukkhassa natthi dāni punabbhavo ti.”<br />

the root of suffering has been cut off, there is no continuation in existence.”<br />

Tatra pi sudaṁ Bhagavā Koṭigāme viharanto,<br />

There also the Gracious One, while living in Koṭigāma,<br />

etad-eva bahulaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ Dhammiṁ kathaṁ karoti:<br />

spoke frequently to the monks about the Teaching, (saying):<br />

“Iti sīlaṁ, iti samādhi, iti paññā,<br />

“Such is virtue, such is concentration, such is wisdom,<br />

sīlaparibhāvito samādhi mahapphalo hoti mahānisaṁso,<br />

when virtue is well-developed it yields great fruit and brings great advantages in regard<br />

to concentration,<br />

samādhiparibhāvitā paññā mahapphalā hoti mahānisaṁsā,<br />

when concentration is well-developed it yields great fruit and brings great advantages in<br />

regard to wisdom,<br />

paññāparibhāvitaṁ cittaṁ sammad-eva āsavehi vimuccati,<br />

when wisdom is well-developed the mind is completely liberated from the pollutants,<br />

seyyathīdaṁ: kāmāsavā bhavāsavā avijjāsavā.” ti<br />

that is to say: the pollutant of sensuality, the pollutant of (craving for) continued<br />

existence, the pollutant of ignorance.”
