Dve·me, bhikkhave, dhammā vijjā-bhāgiyā. Katame dve? Samatho ca vipassanā ca.
|
These two dhammas, bhikkhus, are conducive to vijjā. Which two? Samatha and vipassanā.

Samatho, bhikkhave, bhāvito kam-attham-anubhoti? Cittaṃ bhāvīyati. Cittaṃ bhāvitaṃ kam-attham-anubhoti? Yo rāgo so pahīyati.
|
By developping Samatha, bhikkhus, what purpose is served? Citta is developped. By developping citta, bhikkhus, what purpose is served? Whatever rāga there is is abandoned.
|
|
Vipassanā, bhikkhave, bhāvitā kam-attham-anubhoti? Paññā bhāvīyati. Paññā bhāvitā kam-attham-anubhoti? Yā avijjā sā pahīyati.
|
By developping vipassanā, bhikkhus, what purpose is served? Paññā is developped. By developping paññā, bhikkhus, what purpose is served? Whatever avijjā there is is abandoned.

Rāg·upakkiliṭṭhaṃ vā, bhikkhave, cittaṃ na vimuccati, avijj·upakkiliṭṭhā vā paññā na bhāvīyati. Iti kho, bhikkhave, rāga-virāgā cetovimutti, avijjā-virāgā paññāvimuttī.
| Defiled by rāga, bhikkhus, citta is not released, and defiled by avijjā, paññā is not developped. Thus, bhikkhus, with the virāgā of rāga there is cetovimutti, with the virāgā of avijjā there is paññāvimutti. |
