“Bhikkhus, there are these four ignoble searches. What four? Someone liable to old age searches only for what grows old. Someone liable to sickness searches only for what gets sick. Someone liable to death searches only for what dies. Someone whose nature is defiled searches only for what is defiled. These are the four ignoble searches.

चतस्सो इमा, भिक्खवे, अरियपरियेसना। कतमा चतस्सो? इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चो अत्तना जराधम्मो समानो जराधम्मे आदीनवं विदित्वा अजरं अनुत्तरं योगक्खेमं निब्बानं परियेसति; अत्तना ब्याधिधम्मो समानो ब्याधिधम्मे आदीनवं विदित्वा अब्याधिं अनुत्तरं योगक्खेमं निब्बानं परियेसति; अत्तना मरणधम्मो समानो मरणधम्मे आदीनवं विदित्वा अमतं अनुत्तरं योगक्खेमं निब्बानं परियेसति; अत्तना सङ्किलेसधम्मो समानो सङ्किलेसधम्मे आदीनवं विदित्वा असङ्किलिट्ठं अनुत्तरं योगक्खेमं निब्बानं परियेसति। इमा खो, भिक्खवे, चतस्सो अरियपरियेसना”ति।

Catasso imā, bhikkhave, ariyapariyesanā. Katamā catasso?

There are these four noble searches. What four? Someone who is liable to grow old, knowing the drawback in what grows old, searches for the unaging supreme sanctuary from the yoke, Nibbana. Someone who is liable to get sick, knowing the drawback in what gets sick, searches for the sickness-free supreme sanctuary from the yoke, Nibbana. Someone who is liable to die, knowing the drawback in what dies, searches for the deathless supreme sanctuary from the yoke, Nibbana. Someone whose nature is defiled, knowing the drawback in what is defiled, searches for the undefiled supreme sanctuary from the yoke, Nibbana. These are the four noble searches.”
