Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Tisso imā, bhikkhave, esanā.
Katamā tisso?
Kāmesanā, bhavesanā, brahmacariyesanā—
imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso esanā”ti.
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.
Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Samāhito sampajāno,
sato buddhassa sāvako;
Esanā ca pajānāti,
esanānañca sambhavaṁ.

Yattha cetā nirujjhanti,
maggañca khayagāminaṁ;
Esanānaṁ khayā bhikkhu,
nicchāto parinibbuto”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
Pañcamaṁ.
