1At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, desire and greed for sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, or thoughts is a corruption of the mind. When a mendicant has given up mental corruption in these six cases, their mind inclines to renunciation. A mind imbued with renunciation is declared to be capable of directly knowing anything that can be realized.”
1Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
"Yo, bhikkhave, rūpesu chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. Yo saddesu … yo gandhesu … yo rasesu … yo phoṭṭhabbesu … yo dhammesu chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno imesu chasu ṭhānesu cetaso upakkileso pahīno hoti, nekkhammaninnañcassa cittaṁ hoti. Nekkhammaparibhāvitaṁ cittaṁ kammaniyaṁ khāyati, abhiññā sacchikaraṇīyesu dhammesū"ti.
Dutiyaṁ.
