[1][bodh][olds] THUS have I heard:

Once the Exalted One was staying near Sāvatthī.

Then the Exalted One addressed the monks,
saying:

"Monks."

"Yes, lord," replied those monks to the Exalted One.

The Exalted One said:

"Monks, I desire to dwell in solitude
for three months.

I am not to be visited by any
save by him alone who brings my food."

"So be it, lord"
replied those monks to the Exalted One.

Thus no one visited the Exalted One
save the one who brought his food.

Now at the end of those three months the Exalted One,
leaving his solitude,
addressed the monks, saying:

"Monks, I have been dwelling partly[1]
in the same manner as I did
after I first attamed enlightenment.

Thus I came to know
what is experienced as a result of wrong view,
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing wrong view,
and what is experienced as a result of right view
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing right view,
what is experienced as a result of wrong aim,
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing wrong aim,
and what is experienced as a result of right aim
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing right aim,
what is experienced as a result of wrong speech,
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing wrong speech,
and what is experienced as a result of right speech
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing right speech,
what is experienced as a result of wrong action,
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing wrong action,
and what is experienced as a result of right action
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing right action,
what is experienced as a result of wrong living,
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing wrong living,
and what is experienced as a result of right living
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing right living,
what is experienced as a result of wrong effort,
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing wrong effort,
and what is experienced as a result of right effort
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing right effort,
what is experienced as a result of wrong mindfulness,
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing wrong mindfulness,
and what is experienced as a result of right mindfulness
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing right mindfulness,
what is experienced as a result of wrong concentration,
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing wrong concentration,
and what is experienced as a result of right concentration:
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing right concentration.

Likewise I came to know what is experienced as a result of desire,
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing desire,
what is experienced as a result of directed thought,
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing directed thought,
what is experienced as a result of perception.
and what is experienced as a result of suppressing perception.

When desire is not suppressed,
directed thought is not suppressed,
perception is not suppressed.

Owing to these
there is experience.

(When desire is suppressed,
but directed thought
and perception
are not suppressed,
owing to these
there is experience.

When desire
and directed thought
are suppressed,
but not perception,
then there is experience.)[2]

When desire
and directed thought
and perception,
are suppressed,
owing to that there is experience.

For one who has not attained
there is the effort to do so.

When that state is attained,
owing to that there is experience."
