Translation by Skilling 2019
1.
The states arisen from a cause / Their cause the Tathāgata proclaims, / As well as their cessation: This is the teaching of the Great Ascetic.
2.
Indeed! When the truths become clear / To the ardent brahman as he meditates / Then all of his uncertainties vanish / When he fathoms the law of causation.
3.
Indeed! When the truths become clear / To the ardent brahman as he meditates / Then all of his uncertainties vanish / When he realizes the cessation of conditions.
4.
Indeed! When the truths become clear / To the ardent brahman as he meditates / Then all of his uncertainties vanish / And he stands having routed Māra’s army.
