Gives Birth (2nd)

Dutiyajanasutta

EN
“What gives birth to a person? What do they have that runs about? What enters transmigration? From what are they not free?”
PL
“Kiṁsu janeti purisaṁ, kiṁsu tassa vidhāvati; Kiṁsu saṁsāramāpādi, kismā na parimuccatī”ti.
EN
“Craving gives birth to a person. Their mind is what runs about. A sentient being enters transmigration. From suffering they are not free.”
PL
“Taṇhā janeti purisaṁ, cittamassa vidhāvati; Satto saṁsāramāpādi, dukkhā na parimuccatī”ti.
