17.1
‘Pariyesanaṃ paṭicca lābho’ti iti kho panetaṃ vuttaṃ, tadānanda, imināpetaṃ pariyāyena veditabbaṃ, yathā pariyesanaṃ paṭicca lābho.
‘Searching gives rise to gaining material things’—that’s what I said. And this is a way to understand how this is so.
17.2
Pariyesanā ca hi, ānanda, nābhavissa sabbena sabbaṃ sabbathā sabbaṃ kassaci kimhici, sabbaso pariyesanāya asati pariyesanānirodhā api nu kho lābho paññāyethā”ti?
Suppose there were totally and utterly no searching for anyone anywhere. When there’s no searching at all, with the cessation of searching, would the gaining of material things still be found?”
17.3
“No hetaṃ, bhante”.
“No, sir.”
17.4
“Tasmātihānanda, eseva hetu etaṃ nidānaṃ esa samudayo esa paccayo lābhassa, yadidaṃ pariyesanā.
“That’s why this is the cause, source, origin, and reason of gaining material things, namely searching.
