[Udaya:]

To the one in jhana

seated dustless,
	passionless,
his task done,
effluent-free,
	gone to the beyond
	of all phenomena,

I've come with a question. Tell me the gnosis of emancipation,

the breaking open
of ignorance.

[The Buddha:]

The abandoning

both of sensual desires,
& of unhappiness,

the dispelling of sloth, the warding off of anxieties, equanimity-&-mindfulness purified,

with inspection of mental qualities
swift in the forefront:

That I call the gnosis of emancipation,(1) the breaking open

of ignorance.<span notetag #fnt-2>([[#fn-2|2]])</span>

[Udaya:]

With what

is the world fettered?

With what

is it examined?

Through the abandoning of what

is there said to be
	Unbinding?

[The Buddha:]

With delight

the world's fettered.

With directed thought

it's examined.

Through the abandoning of craving

is there said to be
	Unbinding.

[Udaya:]

Living mindful in what way does one bring consciousness

	to a halt?

We've come questioning

to the Blessed One.

Let us hear your words.

[The Buddha:]

Not relishing feeling,

inside or out:

One living mindful in this way

brings consciousness
	to a halt.<span notetag #fnt-3>([[#fn-3|3]])</span>
