svayaṃ kṛtaṃ parakṛtaṃ dvābhyāṃ kṛtam ahetukam /
duḥkham ity eka icchanti tac ca kāryaṃ na yujyate

svayaṃ kṛtaṃ yadi bhavet pratītya na tato bhavet /
skandhān imān amī skandhāḥ saṃbhavanti pratītya hi

yady amībhya ime 'nye syur ebhyo vāmī pare yadi /
bhavet parakṛtaṃ duḥkhaṃ parair ebhir amī kṛtāḥ

svapudgalakṛtaṃ duḥkhaṃ yadi duḥkhaṃ punar vinā /
svapudgalaḥ sa katamo yena duḥkhaṃ svayaṃ kṛtam

parapudgalajaṃ duḥkhaṃ yadi yasmai pradīyate /
pareṇa kṛtvā tad duḥkhaṃ sa duḥkhena vinā kutaḥ

parapudgalajaṃ duḥkhaṃ yadi kaḥ parapudgalaḥ /
vinā duḥkhena yaḥ kṛtvā parasmai prahiṇoti tat

svayaṃ kṛtasyāprasiddher duḥkhaṃ parakṛtaṃ kutaḥ /
paro hi duḥkhaṃ yat kuryāt tat tasya syāt svayaṃ kṛtam

na tāvat svakṛtaṃ duḥkhaṃ na hi tenaiva tat kṛtam /
paro nātmakṛtaś cet syād duḥkhaṃ parakṛtaṃ katham

syād ubhābhyāṃ kṛtaṃ duḥkhaṃ syād ekaikakṛtaṃ yadi /

na kevalaṃ hi duḥkhasya cāturvidhyaṃ na vidyate /
bāhyānām api bhāvānāṃ cāturvidhyaṃ na vidyate
