Atha kho bhagavato rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa evaṁ cetaso parivitakko udapādi:
Kemudian, ketika Sang Bhagavā sedang berada dalam keheningan pribadi, muncul pemikiran dalam batin-Nya:
Then as the Buddha was in private retreat this thought came to his mind,
“ahaṁ kho pubbe ākiṇṇo vihāsiṁ bhikkhūhi bhikkhunīhi upāsakehi upāsikāhi rājūhi rājamahāmattehi titthiyehi titthiyasāvakehi, ākiṇṇo dukkhaṁ na phāsu vihāsiṁ.
"Dahulu Aku hidup berdesakan dengan para bhikkhu, bhikkhuni, umat awam laki-laki, umat awam perempuan, para raja, para menteri kerajaan, para pengikut ajaran lain, dan para murid mereka. Hidup berdesakan, Aku mengalami penderitaan dan ketidaknyamanan.
“Formerly I lived crowded by monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen; by rulers and their chief ministers, and monastics of other religions and their disciples. Crowded, I live in suffering and discomfort.
Somhi etarahi anākiṇṇo viharāmi bhikkhūhi bhikkhunīhi upāsakehi upāsikāhi rājūhi rājamahāmattehi titthiyehi titthiyasāvakehi, anākiṇṇo sukhaṁ phāsu viharāmī”ti.
Tetapi sekarang Aku hidup tanpa berdesakan dengan para bhikkhu, bhikkhuni, umat awam laki-laki, umat awam perempuan, para raja, para menteri kerajaan, para pengikut ajaran lain, dan para murid mereka. Hidup tanpa berdesakan, Aku mengalami kebahagiaan dan kenyamanan."
But now I live uncrowded by monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen; by rulers and their chief ministers, and monastics of other religions and their disciples. Being uncrowded, I live in happiness and comfort.”
