A TangleJaṭāsutta

“Tangled within, tangled without:“Antojaṭā bahijaṭā, these people are tangled in tangles.Jaṭāya jaṭitā pajā; I ask you this, Gotama:Taṁ taṁ gotama pucchāmi, who can untangle this tangle?”Ko imaṁ vijaṭaye jaṭan”ti.

“A wise person grounded in ethics,“Sīle patiṭṭhāya naro sapañño, developing the mind and wisdom,Cittaṁ paññañca bhāvayaṁ; a keen and alert mendicant—Ātāpī nipako bhikkhu, they can untangle this tangle.So imaṁ vijaṭaye jaṭaṁ.

Those in whom greed, hate, and ignoranceYesaṁ rāgo ca doso ca, have faded away;avijjā ca virājitā; the perfected ones with defilements ended—Khīṇāsavā arahanto, they have untangled the tangle.tesaṁ vijaṭitā jaṭā.

And where name and formYattha nāmañca rūpañca, cease with no residue left behind;asesaṁ uparujjhati; and impingement and perception of form:Paṭighaṁ rūpasaññā ca, it’s here this tangle is cut.”etthesā chijjate jaṭā”ti.
