  5. an3.104:1.2

    Yāvatako loke assādo, paññāya me so sudiṭṭho.

    I’ve seen clearly with wisdom the full extent of gratification in the world.

  6. an3.104:1.3

    Lokassāhaṁ, bhikkhave, ādīnavapariyesanaṁ acariṁ. Yo loke ādīnavo tadajjhagamaṁ.

    I went in search of the world’s drawbacks, and I found them.

  7. an3.104:1.4

    Yāvatako loke ādīnavo, paññāya me so sudiṭṭho.

    I’ve seen clearly with wisdom the full extent of the drawbacks in the world.

    Lokassāhaṁ, bhikkhave, nissaraṇapariyesanaṁ acariṁ. Yaṁ loke nissaraṇaṁ tadajjhagamaṁ.

    I went in search of escape from the world, and I found it.

  10. an3.104:1.7

    Yāvakīvañcāhaṁ, bhikkhave, lokassa assādañca assādato ādīnavañca ādīnavato nissaraṇañca nissaraṇato yathābhūtaṁ nābbhaññāsiṁ, neva tāvāhaṁ, bhikkhave, sadevake loke samārake sabrahmake sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya ‘anuttaraṁ sammāsambodhiṁ abhisambuddho’ti paccaññāsiṁ.

    As long as I didn’t truly understand the world’s gratification, drawback, and escape for what they are, I didn’t announce my supreme perfect awakening in this world with its gods, Māras, and divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans.

  11. an3.104:1.8

    Yato ca khvāhaṁ, bhikkhave, lokassa assādañca assādato ādīnavañca ādīnavato nissaraṇañca nissaraṇato yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññāsiṁ, athāhaṁ, bhikkhave, sadevake loke samārake sabrahmake sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya ‘anuttaraṁ sammāsambodhiṁ abhisambuddho’ti paccaññāsiṁ.

    But when I did truly understand the world’s gratification, drawback, and escape for what they are, I announced my supreme perfect awakening in this world with its gods, Māras, and divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans.

  12. an3.104:1.9

    Ñāṇañca pana me dassanaṁ udapādi:

    Knowledge and vision arose in me:

  13. an3.104:1.10

    ‘My freedom is unshakable; this is my last rebirth; now there’ll be no more future lives.’”

  14. an3.104:1.11

    Dutiyaṁ.
