So I have heard. Evaṁ me sutaṁ—At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. Now at that time the Buddha was educating, encouraging, firing up, and inspiring the mendicants with a Dhamma talk about extinguishment. Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā bhikkhū nibbānapaṭisaṁyuttāya dhammiyā kathāya sandasseti samādapeti samuttejeti sampahaṁseti. And those mendicants were paying attention, applying the mind, concentrating wholeheartedly, and actively listening. Tedha bhikkhū aṭṭhiṁ katvā manasi katvā sabbaṁ cetaso samannāharitvā ohitasotā dhammaṁ suṇanti.

Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment: Atha kho bhagavā etamatthaṁ viditvā tāyaṁ velāyaṁ imaṁ udānaṁ udānesi:

“For the dependent there is agitation. For the independent there’s no agitation. “Nissitassa calitaṁ, anissitassa calitaṁ natthi. When there’s no agitation there is tranquility. Calite asati passaddhi, When there is tranquility there’s no inclination. passaddhiyā sati nati na hoti. When there’s no inclination, there’s no coming and going. Natiyā asati āgatigati na hoti. When there’s no coming and going, there’s no passing away and reappearing. Āgatigatiyā asati cutūpapāto na hoti. When there’s no passing away and reappearing there’s no this life or the next or between the two. Cutūpapāte asati nevidha na huraṁ na ubhayamantarena. Just this is the end of suffering.” Esevanto dukkhassā”ti.

Catutthaṁ.
