Elements of EscapeNissaraṇiyasutta

This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Mendicants, there are these three elements of escape.“Tisso imā, bhikkhave, nissaraṇiyā dhātuyo. What three?Katamā tisso? Renunciation is the escape from sensual pleasures. Formlessness is the escape from form. Cessation is the escape from whatever is created, conditioned, and dependently originated.Kāmānametaṁ nissaraṇaṁ yadidaṁ nekkhammaṁ, rūpānametaṁ nissaraṇaṁ yadidaṁ āruppaṁ, yaṁ kho pana kiñci bhūtaṁ saṅkhataṁ paṭiccasamuppannaṁ nirodho tassa nissaraṇaṁ— These are the three elements of escape.”imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso nissaraṇiyā dhātuyo”ti.

The Buddha spoke this matter.Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. On this it is said:Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Knowing the escape from sensuality,“Kāmanissaraṇaṁ ñatvā, and form’s transcendence,rūpānañca atikkamaṁ; one always keen touchesSabbasaṅkhārasamathaṁ, the stilling of all activities.phusaṁ ātāpi sabbadā.

That mendicant sees rightly,Sa ve sammaddaso bhikkhu, and when freed in regards to that,yato tattha vimuccati; that peaceful sage, with perfect insight,Abhiññāvosito santo, has truly slipped their yoke.”sa ve yogātigo munī”ti.

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
