1“What gives birth to a person?
What do they have that runs about?
What enters transmigration?
From what are they not free?”

2“Craving gives birth to a person.
Their mind is what runs about.
A sentient being enters transmigration.
From suffering they are not free.”

1"Kiṁsu janeti purisaṁ,
kiṁsu tassa vidhāvati;
Kiṁsu saṁsāramāpādi,
kismā na parimuccatī"ti.

2"Taṇhā janeti purisaṁ,
cittamassa vidhāvati;
Satto saṁsāramāpādi,
dukkhā na parimuccatī"ti.
