“What is a person’s partner?

“Kiṁsu dutiyā purisassa hoti,

What instructs them?

Kiṁsu cenaṁ pasāsati;

Enjoying what is a mortal

Kissa cābhirato macco,

released from all suffering?”

Sabbadukkhā pamuccatī”ti.

Wisdom instructs them.

Paññā cenaṁ pasāsati;

Delighting in extinguishment a mortal

Nibbānābhirato macco,

is released from all suffering.”

Sabbadukkhā pamuccatī”ti.
