Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Tīṇimāni, bhikkhave, cakkhūni.
Katamāni tīṇi?
Maṁsacakkhu, dibbacakkhu, paññācakkhu—
imāni kho, bhikkhave, tīṇi cakkhūnī”ti.
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.
Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Maṁsacakkhu dibbacakkhu,
paññācakkhu anuttaraṁ;
Etāni tīṇi cakkhūni,
akkhāsi purisuttamo.

Maṁsacakkhussa uppādo,
maggo dibbassa cakkhuno;
Yato ñāṇaṁ udapādi,
paññācakkhu anuttaraṁ;
Yassa cakkhussa paṭilābhā,
sabbadukkhā pamuccatī”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
Dutiyaṁ.
