“From where do streams turn back?

“Kuto sarā nivattanti,

Where does the cycle spin no more?

kattha vaṭṭaṁ na vattati;

Where do name and form

Kattha nāmañca rūpañca,

cease with nothing left over?”

asesaṁ uparujjhatī”ti.

“Where water and earth,

“Yattha āpo ca pathavī,

fire and air find no footing.

tejo vāyo na gādhati;

From here the streams turn back;

Ato sarā nivattanti,

here the cycle spins no more;

ettha vaṭṭaṁ na vattati;

and here it is that name and form

Ettha nāmañca rūpañca,

cease with nothing left over.”

asesaṁ uparujjhatī”ti.
