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 Venerable Subhūti was sitting not far from the Buddha, cross-legged, with his body straight, having attained the immersion free of placing the mind. Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā subhūti bhagavato avidūre nisinno hoti pallaṅkaṁ ābhujitvā ujuṁ kāyaṁ paṇidhāya avitakkaṁ samādhiṁ samāpajjitvā.

The Buddha saw him meditating there. Addasā kho bhagavā āyasmantaṁ subhūtiṁ avidūre nisinnaṁ pallaṅkaṁ ābhujitvā ujuṁ kāyaṁ paṇidhāya avitakkaṁ samādhiṁ samāpannaṁ.

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

“In whom mental vibrations are cleared away, “Yassa vitakkā vidhūpitā, internally clipped off entirely, Ajjhattaṁ suvikappitā asesā; perceiving the formless, beyond chains, Taṁ saṅgamaticca arūpasaññī, having overcome the four yokes, <j>they never return.” Catuyogātigato na jātu metī”ti.

Sattamaṁ.
