Gives Birth (3rd)

„Was gebiert einen Menschen?
Was hat er, das herumrennt?
Was tritt in das Umherwandern ein?
Was ist sein Schicksal?“

„Verlangen gebiert einen Menschen.
Es ist sein Geist, der herumrennt.
Ein Lebewesen tritt in das Umherwandern ein.
Taten sind sein Schicksal.“

“What gives birth to a person?
What do they have that runs about?
What enters transmigration?
What is their destiny?”

“Craving gives birth to a person.
Their mind is what runs about.
A sentient being enters transmigration.
Deeds are their final haven.”

“Kiṁsu janeti purisaṁ,
kiṁsu tassa vidhāvati;
Kiṁsu saṁsāramāpādi,
kiṁsu tassa parāyanan”ti.

“Taṇhā janeti purisaṁ,
cittamassa vidhāvati;
Satto saṁsāramāpādi,
kammaṁ tassa parāyanan”ti.
