1. He who speaks on the basis of
seeing, this makes him a knower and teacher unexcelled, I bow to you, O
Conqueror, you who saw dependent origination and taught it.
2. Whatever degenerations there are
in the world, the root of all these is ignorance; you taught that it is
dependent origination, the seeing which will undo this ignorance.
3. So how can an intelligent person not
comprehend that this path of dependent origination is the essential point of
your teaching?
