Vimalo Subāhu Puṇṇaji Gavampati,<br />
(named) Vimala, Subāhu, Puṇṇaji and Gavampati,<br />
ime Bhagavā ovadatu anusāsatū.” ti<br />
please advise them, Gracious One, please instruct them.”<br />
Tesaṁ Bhagavā anupubbikathaṁ kathesi,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Gracious One spoke about the gradual teaching to them,<br />
seyyathīdaṁ: dānakathaṁ sīlakathaṁ saggakathaṁ,<br />
that is to say: talk about giving, talk about virtue, talk about heaven,<br />
kāmānaṁ ādīnavaṁ okāraṁ saṅkilesaṁ,<br />
the danger, degradation, and defilement of sensual desires,<br />
nekkhamme ānisaṁsaṁ pakāsesi.<br />
and the advantages of renunciation, (these) he explained.<br />
Yadā te Bhagavā aññāsi kallacitte muducitte,<br />
When the Gracious One knew that they had ready minds, pliable minds,<br />
vinīvaraṇacitte udaggacitte pasannacitte,<br />
open minds, uplifted minds, confident minds,<br />
atha yā Buddhānaṁ sāmukkaṁsikā Dhammadesanā taṁ pakāsesi:<br />
he explained to them the Dhamma teaching the Awakened Ones have discovered<br />
themselves:<br />
Dukkhaṁ Samudayaṁ Nirodhaṁ Maggaṁ.<br />
Suffering, Origination, Cessation, Path.<br />
Seyyathā pi nāma suddhaṁ vatthaṁ apagatakāḷakaṁ<br />
Just as it is known that a clean cloth without a stain<br />
sammad-eva rajanaṁ paṭiggaṇheyya,<br />
will take the dye well,<br />
evam-eva tesaṁ tasmiṁ yeva āsane,<br />
just so to them on that very seat,<br />
virajaṁ vītamalaṁ Dhammacakkhuṁ udapādi:<br />
the dust-free, stainless Vision-of-the-Dhamma arose:<br />
“Yaṁ kiñci samudayadhammaṁ,<br />
“Whatever has the nature of arising,<br />
sabban-taṁ nirodhadhamman.”-ti<br />
all that has the nature of ceasing.”
