“No hetaṃ, bhante”.

“Evaṃ passaṃ, bhikkhu, sutavā ariyasāvako cakkhusmimpi nibbindati, sotasmimpi nibbindati … pe … manasmimpi nibbindati. Nibbindaṃ virajjati; virāgā vimuccati; vimuttasmiṃ vimuttamiti ñāṇaṃ hoti. ‘Khīṇā jāti … pe … nāparaṃ itthattāyā’ti pajānātī”ti.

Idamavoca bhagavā. Attamano so bhikkhu bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinandi. Imasmiñca pana vey­yāka­ra­ṇas­miṃ bhaññamāne tassa bhikkhuno virajaṃ vītamalaṃ dhammacakkhuṃ udapādi: “yaṃ kiñci samuda­ya­dhammaṃ sabbaṃ taṃ nirodhadhamman”ti.
