Streams

Sarasutta

EN
“From where do streams recoil? Where does the cycle spin no more? Where does name and form cease with no residue left behind?”
PL
“Kuto sarā nivattanti, kattha vaṭṭaṁ na vattati; Kattha nāmañca rūpañca, asesaṁ uparujjhatī”ti.
EN
“Where water and earth, fire and air have no footing— from here the streams recoil; here the cycle spins no more;
PL
“Yattha āpo ca pathavī, tejo vāyo na gādhati; Ato sarā nivattanti, ettha vaṭṭaṁ na vattati;
EN
here name and form cease with no residue left behind.”
PL
Ettha nāmañca rūpañca, asesaṁ uparujjhatī”ti.
