“Katamo ca, bhikkhave, asaṅkhatagāmimaggo?
“And what is the path that leads to the unconditioned?
Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, asaṅkhatagāmimaggo.
This is called the path that leads to the unconditioned.
Iti kho, bhikkhave, desitaṁ vo mayā asaṅkhataṁ, desito asaṅkhatagāmimaggo.
So, mendicants, I’ve taught you the unconditioned and the path that leads to the unconditioned.
Yaṁ, bhikkhave, satthārā karaṇīyaṁ sāvakānaṁ hitesinā anukampakena anukampaṁ upādāya kataṁ vo taṁ mayā.
Out of sympathy, I’ve done what a teacher should do who wants what’s best for their disciples.
Etāni, bhikkhave, rukkhamūlāni, etāni suññāgārāni. Jhāyatha, bhikkhave, mā pamādattha; mā pacchā vippaṭisārino ahuvattha. Ayaṁ vo amhākaṁ anusāsanī”ti.
Here are these roots of trees, and here are these empty huts. Practice absorption, mendicants! Don’t be negligent! Don’t regret it later! This is my instruction to you.”
Ekādasamaṁ.

Tassuddānaṁ
Kāyo samatho savitakko,
suññato satipaṭṭhānā;
Sammappadhānā iddhipādā,
indriyabalabojjhaṅgā;
Maggena ekādasamaṁ,
Tassuddānaṁ pavuccati.
