It was well-taught by the Clear-eyed One,“Sudesito cakkhumatā, the Buddha, Kinsman of the Sun,buddhenādiccabandhunā; who has transcended all fetters,Sabbasaṁyojanātīto, and destroyed all rolling-on.sabbavaṭṭavināsano.

Emancipating, it leads across,Niyyāniko uttaraṇo, drying up the root of craving,taṇhāmūlavisosano; and, having cut off the poisonous root, <j>the slaughterhouse,Visamūlaṁ āghātanaṁ, it leads to quenching.chetvā pāpeti nibbutiṁ.

Knowing deed as deedKammaṁ kammanti ñatvāna, and result as result;vipākañca vipākato; seeing dependently originated phenomenaPaṭiccuppannadhammānaṁ, as if they were in a clear light;yathāvālokadassano; leading to the great sanctuary and peace,Mahākhemaṅgamo santo, it’s excellent at the end.pariyosānabhaddako”ti.
