Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

“Bhikkhū, desire and greed for the eye,

“Yo, bhikkhave, cakkhusmiṁ chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso.

ear,

Yo sotasmiṁ chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso.

nose,

Yo ghānasmiṁ chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso.

tongue,

Yo jivhāya chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso.

body,

Yo kāyasmiṁ chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso.

or mind is a corruption of the mind.

Yo manasmiṁ chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso.

When a bhikkhu has given up mental corruption in these six cases, their mind inclines to renunciation.

Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno imesu chasu ṭhānesu cetaso upakkileso pahīno hoti, nekkhammaninnañcassa cittaṁ hoti.

A mind imbued with renunciation is declared to be capable of directly knowing anything that can be realized.”

Nekkhammaparibhāvitaṁ cittaṁ kammaniyaṁ khāyati, abhiññā sacchikaraṇīyesu dhammesū”ti.
