baranasi-yang vihara-ti isipatane migadaye was near Benares, at Isipatana, in the Deer Park.
tatra kho bhagavar panca-vagniye bhikkhu aman-tesi Then the Buddha addressed the company of 5 Bikkhus:
dve-me bhikkha-ve antar parvaji-tena na sevi-tarvar "Bikkhus, these two extremes should not be followed by one who has gone out from home.
yo cayang The
kamesu kama-sukha-li-kanu-yogo hino gammo pothu-dyani-ko pleasure of sense, which is low, vulgar, worldly,
anariyo anatmha-sanhito unworthy and harmful to oneself.
yo cayang The
atma-kila-mathanu-yogo duhkho self-mortification which is painful,
anari-yo anattha-sanhito unworthy and harmful to oneself.
ete te bhikkha-ve ubho By avoiding these two extremes, Oh Bhikkhus,

kata-ma ca sar bhikkha-ve madhyama-prati-patta tatha-gate-na And what, Oh Bikkhus, is that middle path which is found by the Thatagata
abhi-sam-buddha caksu-karani nyana-karani upasa-maya which giveth wision, which giveth knowledge, which tends to peace,
abhi-nyaya sam-boddha-ya nirvana-ya sangvat-tati higher wisdom, enlightnment and nirvana?
