At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.

Bhikkhū, a Realized One has ten powers and four kinds of self-assurance. With these he claims the bull’s place, roars his lion’s roar in the assemblies, and turns the holy wheel.

“Dasabalasamannāgato, bhikkhave, tathāgato catūhi ca vesārajjehi samannāgato āsabhaṁ ṭhānaṁ paṭijānāti, parisāsu sīhanādaṁ nadati, brahmacakkaṁ pavatteti—

Such is form, such is the origin of form, such is the ending of form.

iti rūpaṁ iti rūpassa samudayo iti rūpassa atthaṅgamo,

Such is feeling, such is the origin of feeling, such is the ending of feeling.

iti vedanā iti vedanāya samudayo iti vedanāya atthaṅgamo,

Such is perception, such is the origin of perception, such is the ending of perception.

iti saññā iti saññāya samudayo iti saññāya atthaṅgamo,

Such are saṅkhāra, such is the origin of saṅkhāra, such is the ending of saṅkhāra.

iti saṅkhārā iti saṅkhārānaṁ samudayo iti saṅkhārānaṁ atthaṅgamo,

Such is consciousness, such is the origin of consciousness, such is the ending of consciousness.

iti viññāṇaṁ iti viññāṇassa samudayo iti viññāṇassa atthaṅgamo.

When this exists, that is; due to the arising of this, that arises.

Iti imasmiṁ sati idaṁ hoti, imassuppādā idaṁ uppajjati.

When this doesn’t exist, that is not; due to the cessation of this, that ceases. That is:

Imasmiṁ asati idaṁ na hoti, imassa nirodhā idaṁ nirujjhati.

Ignorance is a condition for saṅkhāra.

Yadidaṁ avijjāpaccayā saṅkhārā;

Saṅkhāra are a condition for consciousness. …

saṅkhārapaccayā viññāṇaṁ …pe…

That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.

evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti.

When ignorance fades away and ceases with nothing left over, saṅkhāra cease.

Avijjāya tveva asesavirāganirodhā saṅkhāranirodho;

When saṅkhāra cease, consciousness ceases. …

saṅkhāranirodhā viññāṇanirodho …pe…

That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.”

evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hotī”ti.
