Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
“Tīṇimāni, bhikkhave, soceyyāni. Katamāni tīṇi? Kāyasoceyyaṁ, vacīsoceyyaṁ, manosoceyyaṁ— imāni kho, bhikkhave, tīṇi soceyyānī”ti. Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
“Mendicants, there are these three kinds of purity. What three? Purity of body, speech, and mind. These are the three kinds of purity.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:
“Kāyasuciṁ vacīsuciṁ, cetosucimanāsavaṁ; Suciṁ soceyyasampannaṁ, āhu sabbappahāyinan”ti.
“Purity of body, purity of speech, and undefiled purity of heart. A pure one, blessed with purity, has given up everything, they say.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti. Sattamaṁ.
