Taṁyeva nidānaṁ.

Now at that time the householder Mānadinna was sick, suffering, gravely ill.

Tena kho pana samayena mānadinno gahapati ābādhiko hoti dukkhito bāḷhagilāno.

Then he addressed a man:

Atha kho mānadinno gahapati aññataraṁ purisaṁ āmantesi:

“Please, mister, go to Venerable Ānanda …” …

“ehi tvaṁ, ambho purisa …pe…

“Sir, I’m not keeping well, I’m not alright. The pain is terrible and growing, not fading; its growing is evident, not its fading.

na me, bhante, khamanīyaṁ na yāpanīyaṁ. Bāḷhā me dukkhā vedanā abhikkamanti, no paṭikkamanti; abhikkamosānaṁ paññāyati, no paṭikkamoti.

When I experience such painful feelings I meditate observing an aspect of the body—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world.

Evarūpāya cāhaṁ, bhante, dukkhāya vedanāya phuṭṭho samāno kāye kāyānupassī viharāmi ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ;

I meditate observing an aspect of feelings …

principles—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world.

dhammesu dhammānupassī viharāmi ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ.

And of the five lower fetters taught by the Buddha, I don’t see any that I haven’t given up.”

Yāni cimāni, bhante, bhagavatā pañcorambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni desitāni, nāhaṁ, bhante, tesaṁ kiñci attani appahīnaṁ samanupassāmī”ti.

“You’re fortunate, householder, so very fortunate!

“Lābhā te, gahapati, suladdhaṁ te, gahapati.

You have declared the fruit of non-return.”

Anāgāmiphalaṁ tayā, gahapati, byākatan”ti.

Dasamaṁ.
