Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Tisso imā, bhikkhave, taṇhā.
Katamā tisso?
Kāmataṇhā, bhavataṇhā, vibhavataṇhā—
imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso taṇhā”ti.
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.
Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Taṇhāyogena saṁyuttā,
rattacittā bhavābhave;
Te yogayuttā mārassa,
ayogakkhemino janā;
Sattā gacchanti saṁsāraṁ,
jātīmaraṇagāmino.

Ye ca taṇhaṁ pahantvāna,
vītataṇhā bhavābhave;
Te ve pāraṅgatā loke,
ye pattā āsavakkhayan”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
Navamaṁ.
