Streams Sarasutta

ā€œFrom where do streams recoil? ā€œKuto sarā nivattanti, Where does the cycle spin no more? kattha vaį¹­į¹­aṁ na vattati; Where does name and form Kattha nāmaƱca rÅ«paƱca, cease with nothing left over?ā€ asesaṁ uparujjhatÄ«ā€ti.

ā€œWhere water and earth, ā€œYattha āpo ca pathavÄ«, fire and air do not remain—tejo vāyo na gādhati;

from here the streams recoil; Ato sarā nivattanti, in reference to this the cycle spins no more; ettha vaį¹­į¹­aṁ na vattati; in reference to this name and form Ettha nāmaƱca rÅ«paƱca, ceases with nothing left over.ā€ asesaṁ uparujjhatÄ«ā€ti.
