1“There are four things that no-one can guarantee— not an ascetic, a brahmin, a god, a Māra, a Brahmā, or anyone in the world.

---

2What four? No-one can guarantee that someone liable to grow old will not grow old.

No-one can guarantee that someone liable to sickness will not get sick.

No-one can guarantee that someone liable to death will not die.

No-one can guarantee that the bad deeds done in past lives—corrupted, leading to future lives, hurtful, resulting in suffering and future rebirth, old age, and death—will not produce their result.

---

3These are the four things that no-one can guarantee— not an ascetic, a brahmin, a god, a Māra, a Brahmā, or anyone in the world.”

2Katamesaṁ catunnaṁ? ‘Jarādhammaṁ mā jīrī’ti natthi koci pāṭibhogo – samaṇo vā brāhmaṇo vā devo vā māro vā brahmā vā koci vā lokasmiṁ;

‘byādhidhammaṁ mā byādhiyī’ti natthi koci pāṭibhogo – samaṇo vā brāhmaṇo vā devo vā māro vā brahmā vā koci vā lokasmiṁ;

‘maraṇadhammaṁ mā mīyī’ti natthi koci pāṭibhogo – samaṇo vā brāhmaṇo vā devo vā māro vā brahmā vā koci vā lokasmiṁ;

‘yāni kho pana tāni pubbe attanā katāni pāpakāni kammāni saṅkilesikāni ponobhavikāni sadarāni dukkhavipākāni āyatiṁ jātijarāmaraṇikāni, tesaṁ vipāko mā nibbattī’ti natthi koci pāṭibhogo – samaṇo vā brāhmaṇo vā devo vā māro vā brahmā vā koci vā lokasmiṁ.

3Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, catunnaṁ dhammānaṁ natthi koci pāṭibhogo – samaṇo vā brāhmaṇo vā devo vā māro vā brahmā vā koci vā lokasmin"ti.

Dutiyaṁ.
