Vuttañhetaṃ bhagavatā ­vuttama­rahatāti me sutaṃ: 

“Makkhaṃ, bhikkhave, anabhijānaṃ aparijānaṃ tattha cittaṃ avirājayaṃ appajahaṃ abhabbo dukkhakkhayāya. Makkhañca kho, bhikkhave, abhijānaṃ parijānaṃ tattha cittaṃ virājayaṃ pajahaṃ bhabbo dukkhakkhayāyā”ti. Etamatthaṃ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṃ iti vuccati: 

“Yena makkhena makkhāse,
sattā gacchanti duggatiṃ;
Taṃ makkhaṃ sammadaññāya,
pajahanti vipassino;
Pahāya na punāyanti,
imaṃ lokaṃ kudācanan”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.

Tatiyaṃ.
