Mother
Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.
At Sāvatthī.
“Anamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro …pe…
“Mendicants, transmigration has no known beginning. …
na so, bhikkhave, satto sulabharūpo yo namātābhūtapubbo iminā dīghena addhunā.

Taṁ kissa hetu?
Why is that?
Anamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro …pe…
Transmigration has no known beginning. …
alaṁ vimuccitun”ti.
This is quite enough for you to become disillusioned, dispassionate, and freed regarding all conditions.”
Catutthaṁ.
