“Mendicants, there are these three defilements. What three? The defilements of sensuality, desire to be reborn, and ignorance. These are the three defilements.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:
“Yassa
kāmāsavo
khīṇo,
avijjā
ca
virājitā;
Bhavāsavo
parikkhīṇo,
vippamutto
nirūpadhi;
Dhāreti

“One who has ended the defilement of sensuality, whose ignorance has faded away, and whose desire to be reborn is finished— liberated, free of attachments, they bear their final body, having vanquished Māra with his legions.”

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
