175. koṭigāme saccakathā (Mv.VI.29.1)
The Discussion of the Truths at Koṭi Village

[75] athakho bhagavā yena koṭigāmo tenupasaṅkami.

Then the Blessed One went to Koṭi Village.

tatra sudaṁ bhagavā koṭigāme viharati.

There he stayed near Koṭi Village.

tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi catunnaṁ bhikkhave ariyasaccānaṁ ananubodhā appaṭivedhā evamidaṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ sandhāvitaṁ saṁsaritaṁ mamañceva tumhākañca

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.

katamesaṁ catunnaṁ

“Which four?

dukkhassa bhikkhave ariyasaccassa ananubodhā appaṭivedhā evamidaṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ sandhāvitaṁ saṁsaritaṁ mamañceva tumhākañca

“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.

dukkhasamudayassa ariyasaccassa .pe.

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

dukkhanirodhassa ariyasaccassa .pe.

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

dukkhanirodhagāminiyā paṭipadāya ariyasaccassa ananubodhā appaṭivedhā evamidaṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ sandhāvitaṁ saṁsaritaṁ mamañceva tumhākañca

“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) tayidaṁ bhikkhave dukkhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ anubuddhaṁ paṭividdhaṁ dukkhasamudayo ariyasaccaṁ anubuddhaṁ paṭividdhaṁ dukkhanirodho ariyasaccaṁ anubuddhaṁ paṭividdhaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā ariyasaccaṁ anubuddhaṁ paṭividdhaṁ

“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.

ucchinnā bhavataṇhā khīṇā bhavanettī natthidāni punabbhavoti.

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

[76] catunnaṁ ariyasaccānaṁ

yathābhūtaṁ adassanā

saṁsitaṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ

tāsu tāsveva jātisu.

“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.

tāni etāni diṭṭhāni

bhavanettī samūhatā

ucchinnaṁ mūlaṁ dukkhassa

natthidāni punabbhavoti.

These are now seen,

the guide to becoming is removed,

crushed is the root of suffering & stress.

There is now no further-becoming.”
