10: The Book of the Tens

V. Abuse — AN 10.49: Existing Because of the Body

1“Mendicants, these ten things exist because of the body. What ten? Cold, heat, hunger, thirst, feces, urine, restraint of body, speech, and livelihood, and the will to live that leads to future lives. These ten things exist because of the body.”

1"Dasayime, bhikkhave, dhammā sarīraṭṭhā. Katame dasa? Sītaṁ, uṇhaṁ, jighacchā, pipāsā, uccāro, passāvo, kāyasaṁvaro, vacīsaṁvaro, ājīvasaṁvaro, ponobhaviko bhavasaṅkhāro – ime kho, bhikkhave, dasa dhammā sarīraṭṭhā"ti.

Navamaṁ.
