At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Then the wanderer Vacchagotta said to the Buddha:

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho vacchagotto paribbājako bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“What is the cause, Master Gotama, what is the reason why these various misconceptions arise in the world? That is:

“ko nu kho, bho gotama, hetu, ko paccayo, yānimāni anekavihitāni diṭṭhigatāni loke uppajjanti—

the cosmos is eternal, or not eternal …

sassato lokoti vā, asassato lokoti vā …pe…

after death, a Realized One neither exists nor doesn’t exist.”

neva hoti na na hoti tathāgato paraṁ maraṇāti vā”ti?

“Vaccha, it is because of not knowing feeling, its origin, its cessation, and the practice that leads to its cessation

“Vedanāya kho, vaccha, aññāṇā, vedanāsamudaye aññāṇā, vedanānirodhe aññāṇā, vedanānirodhagāminiyā paṭipadāya aññāṇā;

that these various misconceptions arise in the world.

evamimāni anekavihitāni diṭṭhigatāni loke uppajjanti—

 

sassato lokoti vā, asassato lokoti vā …pe…

 

neva hoti na na hoti tathāgato paraṁ maraṇāti vāti.

This is the cause, this is the reason.”

Ayaṁ kho, vaccha, hetu, ayaṁ paccayo, yānimāni anekavihitāni diṭṭhigatāni loke uppajjanti—

 

sassato lokoti vā, asassato lokoti vā …pe…

 

neva hoti na na hoti tathāgato paraṁ maraṇāti vā”ti.
