Evaṃ me sutaṃ—​   ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā ñātike viharati giñjakāvasathe. Atha kho bhagavā rahogato paṭisallāno imaṃ dhamma­pariyā­yaṃ abhāsi:

“Cakkhuñca paṭicca rūpe ca uppajjati cakkhuviññāṇaṃ. Tiṇṇaṃ saṅgati phasso. Phassapaccayā vedanā, vedanāpaccayā taṇhā; taṇhāpaccayā upādānaṃ … pe … evametassa kevalassa duk­khak­khan­dhassa samudayo hoti.

Sotañca paṭicca sadde ca … pe … ghānañca paṭicca gandhe ca … jivhañca paṭicca rase ca … kāyañca paṭicca phoṭṭhabbe ca … manañca paṭicca dhamme ca uppajjati manoviññāṇaṃ. Tiṇṇaṃ saṅgati phasso. Phassapaccayā vedanā; vedanāpaccayā taṇhā; taṇhāpaccayā upādānaṃ … pe … evametassa kevalassa duk­khak­khan­dhassa samudayo hoti.

Cakkhuñca paṭicca rūpe ca uppajjati cakkhuviññāṇaṃ. Tiṇṇaṃ saṅgati phasso. Phassapaccayā vedanā; vedanāpaccayā taṇhā. Tassāyeva taṇhāya asesa­virāga­nirodhā upādānanirodho; upādānanirodhā bhavanirodho … pe … evametassa kevalassa duk­khak­khan­dhassa nirodho hoti.

Sotañca paṭicca sadde ca … pe … manañca paṭicca dhamme ca uppajjati manoviññāṇaṃ. Tiṇṇaṃ saṅgati phasso. Phassapaccayā vedanā; vedanāpaccayā taṇhā. Tassāyeva taṇhāya asesa­virāga­nirodhā upādānanirodho; upādānanirodhā bhavanirodho … pe … evametassa kevalassa duk­khak­khan­dhassa nirodho hotī”ti.

Tena kho pana samayena aññataro bhikkhu bhagavato upassuti ṭhito hoti. Addasā kho bhagavā taṃ bhikkhuṃ upassuti ṭhitaṃ. Disvāna taṃ bhikkhuṃ etadavoca: “assosi no tvaṃ, bhikkhu, imaṃ dhamma­pariyā­yan”ti? “Evaṃ, bhante”ti. “Uggaṇhāhi tvaṃ, bhikkhu, imaṃ dhamma­pariyā­yaṃ; pariyāpuṇāhi tvaṃ, bhikkhu, imaṃ dhamma­pariyā­yaṃ; dhārehi tvaṃ, bhikkhu, imaṃ dhamma­pariyā­yaṃ. Atthasaṃhito ayaṃ, bhikkhu, dhammapariyāyo ādib­rahma­cari­yako”ti.
