Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Tathāgatassa, bhikkhave, arahato sammāsambuddhassa dve dhammadesanā pariyāyena bhavanti.
Katamā dve?
‘Pāpaṁ pāpakato passathā’ti—
ayaṁ paṭhamā dhammadesanā;
‘pāpaṁ pāpakato disvā tattha nibbindatha virajjatha vimuccathā’ti—
ayaṁ dutiyā dhammadesanā.
Tathāgatassa, bhikkhave, arahato sammāsambuddhassa imā dve dhammadesanā pariyāyena bhavantī”ti.
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.
Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Tathāgatassa buddhassa,
sabbabhūtānukampino;
Pariyāyavacanaṁ passa,
dve ca dhammā pakāsitā.

Pāpakaṁ passatha cetaṁ,
tattha cāpi virajjatha;
Tato virattacittāse,
dukkhassantaṁ karissathā”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
Dutiyaṁ.
