[401] "Might there be, by yet another method …" … And how might there be? "Whatever suffering (dukkha) originates, all of it is conditioned by nutriment (āhārapaccayā)" — this is one contemplation. "But with the remainderless fading away and cessation (asesavirāganirodha) of nutriments, there is no origination of suffering" — this is the second contemplation. For one thus rightly contemplating the dyad … Then further the Teacher said this:
Whatever suffering originates,
all of it is conditioned by nutriment;
with the cessation of nutriments,
there is no origination of suffering.
Having known this danger —
"suffering is conditioned by nutriment" —
having fully understood all nutriments,
not dependent upon any nutriment,
having rightly known health,
through the utter destruction of the taints (āsava),
using [things] after reflection, standing firm in the Dhamma,
the master of knowledge does not come to reckoning.
