Mahakhandhako, The Great Chapter sections 1-4

The Great Chapter - 80
Bhagavā anupubbikathaṁ kathesi,
the Gracious One spoke about the gradual teaching,
seyyathīdaṁ: dānakathaṁ sīlakathaṁ saggakathaṁ,
that is to say: talk about giving, talk about virtue, talk about heaven,
kāmānaṁ ādīnavaṁ okāraṁ saṅkilesaṁ,
the danger, degradation, and defilement of sensual desires,
nekkhamme ānisaṁsaṁ pakāsesi.
and the advantages of renunciation, (these) he explained.
Yadā Bhagavā aññāsi Yasaṁ kulaputtaṁ
When the Gracious One knew that the young man Yasa
kallacittaṁ muducittaṁ vinīvaraṇacittaṁ udaggacittaṁ pasannacittaṁ,
had a ready mind, a pliable mind, an open mind, an uplifted mind, a confident mind,
atha yā Buddhānaṁ sāmukkaṁsikā Dhammadesanā taṁ pakāsesi:
he explained to him the Dhamma teaching the Awakened Ones have discovered
themselves:
Dukkhaṁ Samudayaṁ Nirodhaṁ Maggaṁ.
Suffering, Origination, Cessation, Path.
Seyyathā pi nāma suddhaṁ vatthaṁ apagatakāḷakaṁ
Just as it is known that a clean cloth without a stain
sammad-eva rajanaṁ paṭiggaṇheyya,
will take the dye well,
evam-eva Yasassa kulaputtassa tasmiṁ yeva āsane,
just so to the young man Yasa on that very seat,
virajaṁ vītamalaṁ Dhammacakkhuṁ udapādi:
the dust-free, stainless Vision-of-the-Dhamma arose: 138
“Yaṁ kiñci samudayadhammaṁ,
“Whatever has the nature of arising,
sabban-taṁ nirodhadhamman.”-ti
all that has the nature of ceasing.”
138 Jā Nid says that he became a Stream-Enterer (Sotāpanna) that night and became a Worthy
One (Arahanta) the next day. Th. 117 records Yasa’s verse on this occasion: Suvilitto
suvasano, sabbābharaṇabhūsito, tisso vijjā ajjhagamiṁ, kataṁ Buddhassa sāsanaṁ; wellperfumed,
well-clothed, adorned with all (my) ornaments, I attained the three knowledges - I
have followed the advice of the Buddha.
