“Kiṁ nu jātiṁ na rocesi? Jāto kāmāni bhuñjati,
“Why is it you're not pleased with birth? Being born one enjoys pleasures,

Ko nu taṁ idam-ādapayi: 'Jātiṁ mā roca, bhikkhunī'?” ti
Just who made you agree to this: Comm: ko nu taṁ idamādapayī ti ko nu mandabuddhi bālo taṁ evaṁ gāhāpesi? just who made you agree to this means which fool of dull intellect made you seize on this?⁰¹ 'Do not be pleased with birth, nun'?”

 

“Jātassa maraṇaṁ hoti, jāto dukkhāni phussati,
“For one who is born there is death, being born one feels suffering,

Bandhaṁ vadhaṁ pariklesaṁ, tasmā jātiṁ na rocaye.
(There is) bondage, murder, hardship, Comm: pariklesan-ti aññam-pi nānappakāraṁ upaddavaṁ. Idāni yaṁ Māro āha: “Ko nu taṁ idam-ādapayī?” ti Taṁ maddantī: “Na maṁ andhabālo ādapesi, loke pana aggapuggalo Satthā dhammaṁ desesī” ti dassetuṁ. Buddho ti-ādim-āha; hardship means manifold calamities. Now this is what Māra said: “Just who made you agree to this?” To show how she rejects that: “No blind fool made me agree, but the greatest man in the world, the Teacher who taught the Dhamma.” (So) The Awakened One and so on is said.⁰² therefore I am not pleased with birth.

Buddho Dhammam-adesesi, jātiyā samatikkamaṁ,
The Awakened One taught the Dhamma, the transcendence of birth (and death),

Sabbadukkhappahānāya, so maṁ Sacce nivesayi.
For giving up of all suffering, he has established me in the Truth. Comm: tattha Sacce nivesayī ti paramatthasacce nibbāne nivesesi; herein, he has established (me) in the Truth means he has established (me) in the highest truth, in Emancipation.⁰³

Ye ca rūpūpagā sattā, ye ca arūpaṭhāyino,
(There are) those beings attached to form, those (attached to) formless states,

Nirodhaṁ appajānantā, āgantāro punabbhavan.”-ti
(And) those who know not cessation, Comm: nirodhaṁ appajānantā ti nirodhasaccaṁ ajānantā; those know not cessation means those who do not know the truth of cessation.⁰⁴ they (all) come to rebirth again.”
