3. Vijjāsuttaṃ

40. Vuttañhetaṃ bhagavatā, vuttamarahatāti me sutaṃ –

‘‘Avijjā , bhikkhave, pubbaṅgamā akusalānaṃ dhammānaṃ samāpattiyā anvadeva ahirikaṃ anottappaṃ; vijjā ca kho, bhikkhave, pubbaṅgamā kusalānaṃ dhammānaṃ samāpattiyā anvadeva hirottappa’’nti. Etamatthaṃ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṃ iti vuccati –

‘‘Yā kācimā duggatiyo, asmiṃ loke paramhi ca;

Avijjāmūlikā sabbā, icchālobhasamussayā.

‘‘Yato ca hoti pāpiccho, ahirīko anādaro;

Tato pāpaṃ pasavati, apāyaṃ tena gacchati.

‘‘Tasmā chandañca lobhañca, avijjañca virājayaṃ;

Vijjaṃ uppādayaṃ bhikkhu, sabbā duggatiyo jahe’’ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti. Tatiyaṃ.
