[1][bit][pts][than] I Hear Tell:

Once upon a time The Lucky Man said words to this effect:

"Tathāgatas appearing, beggars,
or Tathāgatas not appearing,
this stands:

It stands as a property of things,
it is a settled thing:

'Everything own-made is discontinuous.'

This the Tathāgata wakes up to
and comprehends.

Waking up to this
and comprehending it
he describes it, points to it, makes it known;
establishes, uncovers, analyzes, and makes it plain:

'Everything own-made is discontinuous.'

■

[2][pts][than] Tathāgatas appearing, beggars,
or Tathāgatas not appearing,
this stands:

It stands as a property of things,
is a settled thing:

'Everything own-made is pain.'

This the Tathāgata wakes up to and comprehends.
Waking up to this
and comprehending it
he describes it, points to it, makes it known;
establishes, uncovers, analyzes, and makes it plain:

'Everything own-made is pain.'

■

[3][pts][than] Tathāgatas appearing, beggars,
or Tathāgatas not appearing,
this stands:

It stands as a property of things,
is a settled thing:

'All things are not-self.'

This the Tathāgata wakes up to and comprehends.
Waking up to this
and comprehending it
he describes it, points to it, makes it known;
establishes, uncovers, analyzes, and makes it plain:

'All things are not-self.'"
