At Sāvatthī.Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“Sir, they speak of ‘impermanence’.“‘aniccaṁ, aniccan’ti, bhante, vuccati. What has impermanent nature?”Katamaṁ nu kho, bhante, aniccan”ti?

“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are impermanent.“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, aniccaṁ, vedanā aniccā, saññā aniccā, saṅkhārā aniccā, viññāṇaṁ aniccaṁ.

Seeing this …Evaṁ passaṁ …pe… They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
