Bhayesu paṭhamacatukke jātiṃ paṭicca uppannaṃ bhayaṃ jātibhayaṃ. Sesesupi eseva nayo. Dutiyacatukke rājato uppannaṃ bhayaṃ rājabhayaṃ. Sesesupi eseva nayo.
Tatiyacatukke cattāri bhayānīti mahāsamudde udakaṃ orohantassa vuttabhayāni. Mahāsamudde kira mahindavīci nāma saṭṭhī yojanāni uggacchati. Gaṅgāvīci nāma paṇṇāsa yojanāni uggacchati. Rohaṇavīci nāma cattāḷīsa yojanāni uggacchati. Evarūpā ūmiyo paṭicca uppannaṃ bhayaṃ ūmibhayaṃ nāma. Kumbhīlato uppannaṃ bhayaṃ kumbhīlabhayaṃ. Udakāvaṭṭato bhayaṃ āvaṭṭabhayaṃ. Susukā vuccati caṇḍamaccho, tato bhayaṃ susukābhayaṃ.
Catutthacatukke attānuvādabhayanti pāpakammino attānaṃ anuvadantassa uppajjanakabhayaṃ. Parānuvādabhayanti parassa anuvādato uppajjanakabhayaṃ. Daṇḍabhayanti āgārikassa raññā pavattitadaṇḍaṃ, anāgārikassa vinayadaṇḍaṃ paṭicca uppajjanakabhayaṃ.
Iti imehi catūhi catukkehi soḷasa mahābhayāni nāma kathitāni.
