1“What gives birth to a person?
What do they have that runs about?
What enters transmigration?
What is their destiny?”

2“Craving gives birth to a person.
Their mind is what runs about.
A sentient being enters transmigration.
Deeds are their destiny.”

kiṁsu tassa vidhāvati;
Kiṁsu saṁsāramāpādi,
kiṁsu tassa parāyanan"ti.

2"Taṇhā janeti purisaṁ,
cittamassa vidhāvati;
Satto saṁsāramāpādi,
kammaṁ tassa parāyanan"ti.
