Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Ekadhammaṁ, bhikkhave, pajahatha;
ahaṁ vo pāṭibhogo anāgāmitāya.
Katamaṁ ekadhammaṁ?
Makkhaṁ, bhikkhave, ekadhammaṁ pajahatha;
ahaṁ vo pāṭibhogo anāgāmitāyā”ti.
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.
Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Yena makkhena makkhāse,
sattā gacchanti duggatiṁ;
Taṁ makkhaṁ sammadaññāya,
pajahanti vipassino;
Pahāya na punāyanti,
imaṁ lokaṁ kudācanan”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
Pañcamaṁ.
