Translation by Skilling 2019

I

The states arisen from a cause / Their cause the Tathāgata proclaims, / As well as their cessation: This is the teaching of the Great Ascetic.

II

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.

III

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.

IV

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.
