I can find various modern English-language translations (and descriptions, explanations) of the four dharma seals (e.g. on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Dharma_Seals) or on [Lion's Roar](https://www.lionsroar.com/buddhism-nutshell-four-seals-dharma/)) ; but --
- What's the earliest or original reference (scripture) in which the seals are defined?
- What's the best and/or the most famous original description (if that's not the same as above)?
- In which canonical language[s] are they defined? Are they (also) defined in Pali or Sanskrit?
I'm ideally looking for all four seals together as a formula -- not e.g. the three characteristics as an early version of it, nor a text which only for example describes emptiness.
