Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Tisso imā, bhikkhave, dhātuyo.
Katamā tisso?
Rūpadhātu, arūpadhātu, nirodhadhātu—
imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso dhātuyo”ti.
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.
Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Rūpadhātuṁ pariññāya,
āruppesu asaṇṭhitā;
Nirodhe ye vimuccanti,
te janā maccuhāyino.

Kāyena amataṁ dhātuṁ,
phusayitvā nirūpadhiṁ;
Upadhippaṭinissaggaṁ,
sacchikatvā anāsavo;
Deseti sammāsambuddho,
asokaṁ virajaṁ padan”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
Dutiyaṁ.
