如是我聞。爾時，世尊初成正覺，住優樓比螺尼連禪河畔菩提樹下。爾時，世尊結跏趺坐，繼續坐享七日間解脫樂。七日已，世尊由禪定起，於夜之初分，順觀緣起諸法：「此有故彼有，此生故彼生：即緣無明而有行，緣行而有識，緣識而有名色，緣名色而有六入，緣六入而有觸，緣觸而有受，緣受而有愛，緣愛而有取，緣取而有有，緣有而有生，緣生而有老死、憂、悲、苦、惱、愁悶。如是生起此苦聚。」世尊知此已，彼時唱此優陀那〔自說〕：
Thus have I heard. At that time, the World-Honored One had just attained perfect enlightenment and was dwelling at the foot of the Bodhi tree by the Nerañjarā River in Uruvelā. At that time, the World-Honored One sat cross-legged and continued to abide in the bliss of liberation for seven days. When the seven days had passed, the World-Honored One arose from meditation. In the first watch of the night, he contemplated the conditioned arising of all phenomena in forward order: "When this exists, that exists; from the arising of this, that arises. That is: conditioned by ignorance, volitional formations arise; conditioned by volitional formations, consciousness arises; conditioned by consciousness, name-and-form arises; conditioned by name-and-form, the six sense bases arise; conditioned by the six sense bases, contact arises; conditioned by contact, feeling arises; conditioned by feeling, craving arises; conditioned by craving, clinging arises; conditioned by clinging, becoming arises; conditioned by becoming, birth arises; conditioned by birth, aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, and despair arise. Thus arises this whole mass of suffering." Having understood this, the World-Honored One then uttered this inspired utterance:
「實亦有精勤，禪定婆羅門，領悟諸法時，彼知緣起法，消除諸疑惑。」
