“Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, ariyasaccāni.

“Mendicants, there are these four noble truths.

Katamāni cattāri?

What four?

Dukkhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhasamudayaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhanirodhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā ariyasaccaṁ—

The noble truths of suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering.

imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri ariyasaccāni tathāni avitathāni anaññathāni;

These four noble truths are real, not unreal, not otherwise.

tasmā ‘ariyasaccānī’ti vuccanti.

That’s why they’re called ‘noble truths’.

Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yogo karaṇīyo …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yogo karaṇīyo”ti.

That’s why you should practice meditation …”

Sattamaṁ.
