Paṭhamalokadhammasutta

“Aṭṭhime, bhikkhave, lokadhammā lokaṁ anuparivattanti, loko ca aṭṭha lokadhamme anuparivattati. Katame aṭṭha? Lābho ca, alābho ca, yaso ca, ayaso ca, nindā ca, pasaṁsā ca, sukhañca, dukkhañca. Ime kho, bhikkhave, aṭṭha lokadhammā lokaṁ anuparivattanti, loko ca ime aṭṭha lokadhamme anuparivattatīti.

“Mendicants, the eight worldly conditions revolve around the world, and the world revolves around the eight worldly conditions. What eight? Gain and loss, fame and disgrace, blame and praise, pleasure and pain. These eight worldly conditions revolve around the world, and the world revolves around these eight worldly conditions.

Lābho alābho ca yasāyaso ca, Nindā pasaṁsā ca sukhaṁ dukhañca; Ete aniccā manujesu dhammā, Asassatā vipariṇāmadhammā.

Gain and loss, fame and disgrace, blame and praise, and pleasure and pain. These qualities among mankind are impermanent, transient, and perishable.

Ete ca ñatvā satimā sumedho, Avekkhati vipariṇāmadhamme; Iṭṭhassa dhammā na mathenti cittaṁ, Aniṭṭhato no paṭighātameti.

An intelligent and mindful person knows these things, seeing that they’re perishable. Desirable things don’t disturb their mind, nor are they repelled by the undesirable.

Tassānurodhā atha vā virodhā, Vidhūpitā atthaṅgatā na santi; Padañca ñatvā virajaṁ asokaṁ, Sammappajānāti bhavassa pāragū”ti. Pañcamaṁ.

Both favoring and opposing are cleared and disappeared, they are no more. Knowing the stainless, sorrowless state, they who have gone beyond rebirth <j>understand rightly.”
