3. A Sword
Streams
“From where do streams recoil?
Where does the cycle spin no more?
Where does name and form
cease with no residue left behind?”
“Where water and earth,
fire and air have no footing - from here the streams recoil;
here the cycle spins no more;
here name and form
cease with no residue left behind.”

“Kuto sarā nivattanti,
kattha vaṭṭaṁ na vattati;
Kattha nāmañca rūpañca,
asesaṁ uparujjhatī”ti.
“Yattha āpo ca pathavī,
tejo vāyo na gādhati;
Ato sarā nivattanti,
ettha vaṭṭaṁ na vattati;
Ettha nāmañca rūpañca,
asesaṁ uparujjhatī”ti.

3. Une épée
Courants
« D’où les courants refluent-ils ?
Où le cycle cesse-t-il de tourner ?
Où le nom et la forme
cessent-ils sans laisser de résidu ? »
« Là où l’eau et la terre,
le feu et l’air ne trouvent aucun appui :
c’est de là que les courants refluent ;
là, le cycle cesse de tourner ;
là, le nom et la forme
cessent sans laisser de résidu. »
