वुत्तञ्हेतंvut·tañ·he·taṃ भगवताbha·ga·va·tā वुत्तमरहतातिvut·ta·ma·ra·ha·tā·ti मेme सुतं:su·taṃ

Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
6

“अत्थि,at·thi भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve अजातंa·jā·taṃ अभूतंa·bhū·taṃ अकतंa·ka·taṃ असङ्खतं।a·saṅ·kha·taṃ

“Atthi, bhikkhave, ajātaṁ abhūtaṁ akataṁ asaṅkhataṁ.

“There is, mendicants, freedom from rebirth, freedom from what has been produced, made, and conditioned.
7

No cetaṁ, bhikkhave, abhavissa ajātaṁ abhūtaṁ akataṁ asaṅkhataṁ, nayidha jātassa bhūtassa katassa saṅkhatassa nissaraṇaṁ paññāyetha.

If there were no freedom from rebirth, freedom from what has been produced, made, and conditioned, then you would find no escape here from rebirth, from what has been produced, made, and conditioned.

Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, atthi ajātaṁ abhūtaṁ akataṁ asaṅkhataṁ, tasmā jātassa bhūtassa katassa saṅkhatassa nissaraṇaṁ paññāyatī”ti.

But since there is freedom from rebirth, freedom from what has been produced, made, and conditioned, an escape is found from rebirth, from what has been produced, made, and conditioned.”

that’s not fit to delight in.
17

The escape from that is peaceful,
18

beyond the scope of logic, everlasting,
19

अजातंa·jā·taṃ असमुप्पन्नं,a·sa·mup·pan·naṃ

Ajātaṁ asamuppannaṁ,

where nothing is reborn or arisen,
