The Shorter Discourse on the Ending of Craving

एवंe·vaṃ मेme सुतं—su·taṃ

Evaṁ me sutaṁ—

So I have heard.

ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati pubbārāme migāramātupāsāde.

At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in the stilt longhouse of Migāra’s mother in the Eastern Monastery.

And then Sakka, lord of gods, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and said to him:

“Sir, how do you briefly define a mendicant who is freed through the ending of craving, who has reached the ultimate end, the ultimate sanctuary from the yoke, the ultimate spiritual life, the ultimate goal, and is best among gods and humans?”
7

“इध,i·dha देवानमिन्द,de·vā·na·min·da भिक्खुनोbhik·khu·no सुतंsu·taṃ होति:ho·ti

“Idha, devānaminda, bhikkhuno sutaṁ hoti:

“Lord of gods, take a mendicant who has heard:
8

‘sabbe dhammā nālaṁ abhinivesāyā’ti.

‘Nothing is worth insisting on.’
9

Evañcetaṁ, devānaminda, bhikkhuno sutaṁ hoti:

When a mendicant has heard that
10

‘सब्बेsab·be धम्माdham·mā नालंnā·laṃ अभिनिवेसाया’ति।a·bhi·ni·ve·sā·yā

‘sabbe dhammā nālaṁ abhinivesāyā’ti.

So sabbaṁ dhammaṁ abhijānāti; sabbaṁ dhammaṁ abhiññāya sabbaṁ dhammaṁ parijānāti; sabbaṁ dhammaṁ pariññāya yaṁ kiñci vedanaṁ vedeti—

they directly know all things. Directly knowing all things, they completely understand all things. Completely understanding all things, when they experience any kind of feeling—pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral—

they meditate observing impermanence, dispassion, cessation, and letting go in those feelings.

Meditating in this way, they don’t grasp at anything in the world.

Not grasping, they’re not anxious. Not being anxious, they personally become extinguished.
15

‘khīṇā jāti, vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ, nāparaṁ itthattāyā’ti pajānāti.

They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is nothing further for this place.’

That’s how I briefly define a mendicant who is freed through the ending of craving, who has reached the ultimate end, the ultimate sanctuary from the yoke, the ultimate spiritual life, the ultimate goal, and is best among gods and humans.”
17

Atha kho sakko devānamindo bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinanditvā anumoditvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā tatthevantaradhāyi.

Then Sakka, lord of gods, having approved and agreed with what the Buddha said, bowed and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before vanishing right there.
18

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā mahāmoggallāno bhagavato avidūre nisinno hoti.

Now at that time Venerable Mahāmoggallāna was sitting not far from the Buddha.
19

He thought,
20

“किंkiṃ नुnu खोkho सोso यक्खोyak·kho भगवतोbha·ga·va·to भासितंbhā·si·taṃ अभिसमेच्चa·bhi·sa·mec·ca अनुमोदिa·nu·mo·di उदाहुu·dā·hu नो;no

“kiṁ nu kho so yakkho bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhisamecca anumodi udāhu no;

“Did that spirit comprehend what the Buddha said when he agreed with him, or not?
21

यन्नूनाहंyan·nū·nā·haṃ तंtaṃ यक्खंyak·khaṃ जानेय्यं—jā·ney·yaṃ

yadi vā so yakkho bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhisamecca anumodi yadi vā no”ti?

(Pāli only)
23

And then Venerable Mahāmoggallāna, as easily as a strong person would extend or contract their arm, vanished from the Eastern Monastery and reappeared among the gods of the thirty-three.
24

Now at that time Sakka was amusing himself in the Single Lotus Park, supplied and provided with a heavenly orchestra.

Seeing Mahāmoggallāna coming off in the distance,

he waved off the orchestra, approached Mahāmoggallāna, and said,
27

“एहिe·hi खो,kho मारिसmā·ri·sa मोग्गल्लान,mog·gal·lā·na स्वागतं,svā·ga·taṃ मारिसmā·ri·sa मोग्गल्लान।mog·gal·lā·na

Mahāmoggallāna said to him,

“Kosiya, how did the Buddha briefly explain freedom through the ending of craving?
