Translation

ချုပ်ငြိမ်းခြင်းမရှိ၊ မွေးဖွားခြင်းလည်းမရှိ; ချည်နှောင်ခံရသူမရှိ၊ သာဓနာကျင့်သူလည်းမရှိ။ မောက္ခရှာဖွေသူမရှိ၊ အမှန်တကယ်လွတ်မြောက်သူလည်းမရှိ—ဤသည်ပင် ပရမာတ္ထ သစ္စာ ဖြစ်သည်။

Academic Translation

There is no cessation, nor indeed origination; none is bound, nor is there a practitioner. There is no seeker of liberation, nor truly any liberated one—this is the highest truth.
