Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘anicca’.

“‘aniccaṁ, aniccan’ti, bhante, vuccati.

What is anicca?”

Katamaṁ nu kho, bhante, aniccan”ti?

“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, saṅkhāra, and consciousness are anicca.

“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, aniccaṁ, vedanā aniccā, saññā aniccā, saṅkhārā aniccā, viññāṇaṁ aniccaṁ.

Seeing this …

Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…

They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’”

nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
