Yāvakīvañca, bhikkhave, sattā imesaṁ channaṁ ajjhattikānaṁ āyatanānaṁ assādañca assādato, ādīnavañca ādīnavato, nissaraṇañca nissaraṇato yathābhūtaṁ nābbhaññaṁsu, neva tāva, bhikkhave, sattā sadevakā lokā samārakā sabrahmakā sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya nissaṭā visaññuttā vippamuttā vimariyādīkatena cetasā vihariṁsu.
As long as beings do not know, as they really are, the enjoyment as enjoyment, the danger as danger, and the escape as escape in these six internal sense bases, they will not be free from the world with its devas, Māras, and Brahmās, from this generation with its recluses and brahmins, its devas and humans.
Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, sattā imesaṁ channaṁ ajjhattikānaṁ āyatanānaṁ assādañca assādato, ādīnavañca ādīnavato, nissaraṇañca nissaraṇato yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññaṁsu, atha, bhikkhave, sattā sadevakā lokā samārakā sabrahmakā sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya nissaṭā visaññuttā vippamuttā vimariyādīkatena cetasā viharantī”ti. Pañcamaṁ.
But when beings know, as they really are, the enjoyment as enjoyment, the danger as danger, and the escape as escape in these six internal sense bases, then they will be free from the world with its devas, Māras, and Brahmās, from this generation with its recluses and brahmins, its devas and humans, and they will dwell with a mind that is free, detached, released, and unrestricted.
