Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Tīṇimāni, bhikkhave, akusalamūlāni.
Katamāni tīṇi?
Lobho akusalamūlaṁ, doso akusalamūlaṁ, moho akusalamūlaṁ—
imāni kho, bhikkhave, tīṇi akusalamūlānī”ti.
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.
Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Lobho doso ca moho ca,
purisaṁ pāpacetasaṁ;
Hiṁsanti attasambhūtā,
tacasāraṁva samphalan”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
Paṭhamaṁ.
