Imasmim sati idam hoti
Imassuppada idam uppajjati
Imasmim asati idam nahoti
Imassa nirodha idam nirujjati

From the arising of this, that arises,
This not being, that does not become,
From the ceasing of this, that ceases.

1-3 TATIYABODHI SUTTA Bodhi Sutta (3)

When things become manifest
To the ardent meditating brahman,
He abides scattering Mara's host
Like the sun illumining the sky. Ireland

As phenomena grow clear
to the brahman — ardent, absorbed —
he stands. routing the trrops of Mara,
Like the sun that illumines. Thanissaro

2006-03-14T15:26:00.000Z

When things become manifest
To the ardent meditating brahman,
All his doubts then vanish since he has known
The utter destruction of conditions. Ireland

As phenomena grow clear to the
brahman — ardent, absorbed —
his doubts all vanish
when he penetrates the ending
of requisite conditions. Thanissaro

1-1 PATHAMABODHI SUTTA Bodhi Sutta (1)

2006-03-13T11:31:00.000Z

When things become manifest
To the ardent meditating brahman,
All his doubts then vanish since he understands
Each thing along with its cause. Ireland

As phenomena grow clear to the
brahman — ardent, absorbed —
his doubts all vanish
when he discerns what has a cause. Thanissaro
