Avijjāpaccayā saṅkhārā,
Because of ignorance there are (volitional) processes,

saṅkhārapaccayā viññāṇaṁ,
because of (volitional) processes: consciousness,

viññāṇapaccayā nāmarūpaṁ,
because of consciousness: mind and body,

nāmarūpapaccayā saḷāyatanaṁ,
because of mind and body: the six sense spheres,

saḷāyatanapaccayā phasso,
because of the six sense spheres: contact,

phassapaccayā vedanā,
because of contact: feeling,

vedanāpaccayā taṇhā,
because of feeling: craving,

taṇhāpaccayā upādānaṁ,
because of craving: attachment,

upādānapaccayā bhavo,
because of attachment: continuation,

bhavapaccayā jāti,
because of continuation: birth,

jātipaccayā jarāmaraṇaṁ,
because of birth: old age, death,

sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā sambhavanti,
grief, lamentation, pain, sorrow, and despair (all) originate,

evam-etassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti.
and so this whole mass of suffering comes to arise.

 

Avijjāya tveva asesavirāganirodhā saṅkhāranirodho,
But with the complete fading away and cessation of ignorance, there is the cessation of (volitional) processes,

saṅkhāranirodhā viññāṇanirodho,
with the cessation of (volitional) processes, the cessation of consciousness,

viññāṇanirodhā nāmarūpanirodho,
with the cessation of consciousness, the cessation of mind and body,

nāmarūpanirodhā saḷāyatananirodho,
with the cessation of mind and body, the cessation of the six sense spheres,

saḷāyatananirodhā phassanirodho,
with the cessation of the six sense spheres, the cessation of contact,

phassanirodhā vedanānirodho,
with the cessation of contact, the cessation of feeling,

vedanānirodhā taṇhānirodho,
with the cessation of feeling, the cessation of craving,

taṇhānirodhā upādānanirodho,
with the cessation of craving, the cessation of attachment,

upādānanirodhā bhavanirodho,
with the cessation of attachment, the cessation of continuation,

bhavanirodhā jātinirodho,
with the cessation of continuation, the cessation of birth,

jātinirodhā jarāmaraṇaṁ
with the cessation of birth, old age, death,

sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā nirujjhanti,
grief, lamentation, pain, sorrow, and despair (all) cease,

evam-etassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hoti.
and so there is a cessation of this whole mass of suffering.
