《長部經典》第十五 Mahānidānasutta 大緣經 (DN 15)
第一品 苦之聖諦
Etassa, ānanda, dhammassa ananubodhā appaṭivedhā evamayaṃ pajā tantākulakajātā kulagaṇṭhikajātā [gulāguṇṭhikajātā (sī. pī.), guṇagaṇṭhikajātā (syā.)] muñjapabbajabhūtā apāyaṃ duggatiṃ vinipātaṃ saṃsāraṃ nātivattati.
阿難！因不隨覺、不徹見此法，此有情類，如絲縷纏結，如腫物所蔽，如蘆葦草、燈心草之亂雜，故不得出離惡生、惡趣、地獄之輪迴。
It's because of not understanding and not penetrating this Dhamma that this generation is like a tangled skein, a knotted ball of string, like matted rushes and reeds, and does not go beyond transmigration, beyond the planes of deprivation, woe, and bad destinations.
