Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Tīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu atikkamma māradheyyaṁ ādiccova virocati.
Katamehi tīhi?
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu asekhena sīlakkhandhena samannāgato hoti, asekhena samādhikkhandhena samannāgato hoti, asekhena paññākkhandhena samannāgato hoti—
imehi kho, bhikkhave, tīhi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu atikkamma māradheyyaṁ ādiccova virocatī”ti.
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.
Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Sīlaṁ samādhi paññā ca,
yassa ete subhāvitā;
Atikkamma māradheyyaṁ,
ādiccova virocatī”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
Dasamaṁ.
Paṭhamo vaggo.

Tassuddānaṁ
Mūladhātu atha vedanā duve,
Esanā ca duve āsavā duve;
Taṇhāto ca atha māradheyyato,
Vaggamāhu paṭhamanti muttamanti.
