1At Sāvatthī.
Then Venerable Uttiya went up to the Buddha … and asked him:
“Just now, sir, as I was in private retreat this thought came to mind. ‘The Buddha has spoken of the five kinds of sensual stimulation. What are they?’”
“Good, good, Uttiya! I have spoken of these five kinds of sensual stimulation. What five? Sights known by the eye that are likable, desirable, agreeable, pleasant, sensual, and arousing. Sounds known by the ear … Smells known by the nose … Tastes known by the tongue … Touches known by the body that are likable, desirable, agreeable, pleasant, sensual, and arousing. These are the five kinds of sensual stimulation that I’ve spoken of.
The noble eightfold path should be developed to give up these five kinds of sensual stimulation. What is the noble eightfold path? It is right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion. This is the noble eightfold path that should be developed to give up these five kinds of sensual stimulation.”

Atha kho āyasmā uttiyo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami … pe … ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā uttiyo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
"Idha mayhaṁ, bhante, rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa evaṁ cetaso parivitakko udapādi: ‘pañca kāmaguṇā vuttā bhagavatā. Katame nu kho pañca kāmaguṇā vuttā bhagavatā’"ti?
"Sādhu sādhu, uttiya. Pañcime kho, uttiya, kāmaguṇā vuttā mayā. Katame pañca? Cakkhuviññeyyā rūpā iṭṭhā kantā manāpā piyarūpā kāmūpasaṁhitā rajanīyā, sotaviññeyyā saddā … pe … ghānaviññeyyā gandhā … pe … jivhāviññeyyā rasā … pe … kāyaviññeyyā phoṭṭhabbā iṭṭhā kantā manāpā piyarūpā kāmūpasaṁhitā rajanīyā – ime kho, uttiya, pañca kāmaguṇā vuttā mayā.
Imesaṁ kho, uttiya, pañcannaṁ kāmaguṇānaṁ pahānāya ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo bhāvetabbo. Katamo ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo? Seyyathidaṁ – sammādiṭṭhi … pe … sammāsamādhi. Imesaṁ kho, uttiya, pañcannaṁ kāmaguṇānaṁ pahānāya ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo bhāvetabbo"ti.
Dasamaṁ.

Duve paṭipadāpi ca;
Asappurisena dve kumbho,
Samādhi vedanuttiyenāti.
