[76] Then the Blessed One, having stayed at Rājagaha as long as he pleased, addressed the Venerable Ānanda: "Come, Ānanda, let us go to Ambalaṭṭhikā." "Yes, venerable sir," the Venerable Ānanda replied to the Blessed One. Then the Blessed One, together with a large Saṅgha of bhikkhus, arrived at Ambalaṭṭhikā. There the Blessed One stayed at Ambalaṭṭhikā in the royal rest-house. And while staying there at Ambalaṭṭhikā in the royal rest-house, the Blessed One frequently gave this very Dhamma talk to the bhikkhus: "Such is virtue (sīla), such is concentration (samādhi), such is wisdom (paññā). Concentration imbued with virtue is of great fruit and great benefit; wisdom imbued with concentration is of great fruit and great benefit; the mind (citta) imbued with wisdom is rightly liberated from the taints (āsava), namely, the taint of sensuality, the taint of existence, and the taint of ignorance."
