tesam hetum tathagato aha, 如来说此因

tesab ca yo nirodho, 彼法因缘尽

evamvadi mahasamano' ti. 是大沙门说

Then the venerable Assaji uttered this terse expression of dhamma

to the wanderer sariputta :

" Those things which proceed from a course,

of these the Truth-finder has told the cause;

And that which is their stopping --

the great recluse has such a doctrine."

When the Exalted One died,Sakka,the king of the gods,

at the moment of his passing away from existence,

Growth is their very nature, and decay.

They are produced, they are dissolved again :

To bring them all into subjection --that is bliss.' (P.T.S.)
