(Mv.VI.29.1) [75] Then the Blessed One went to Koṭi Village. There he stayed near Koṭi Village. And there he addressed the monks: “It’s through not awakening to and not penetrating the four noble truths, monks, that we have transmigrated and wandered on for such a long time, you & I.

“Which four?

“It’s through not awakening to and not penetrating the noble truth of stress that we have transmigrated and wandered on for such a long time, you & I.

“It’s through not awakening to and not penetrating the noble truth of the origination of stress…

“It’s through not awakening to and not penetrating the noble truth of the cessation of stress…

“It’s through not awakening to and not penetrating the noble truth of the path of practice leading to cessation of stress that we have transmigrated and wandered on for such a long time, you & I.

(Mv.VI.29.2) “But now, this noble truth of stress has been awakened to & penetrated, the noble truth of the origination of stress has been awakened to & penetrated, the noble truth of the cessation of stress has been awakened to & penetrated, the noble truth of the path of practice leading to cessation of stress has been awakened to & penetrated.

“Craving for becoming has been crushed; the guide to becoming [i.e., clinging] is ended. There now is no further-becoming.”

[76] “From lack of vision — as they have come to be — of the four noble truths, we have wandered a long time simply in these births & those. These are now seen, the guide to becoming is removed, crushed is the root of suffering & stress. There is now no further-becoming.”
