[723] "Student, there are these five cords of sensual pleasure (kāmaguṇa). Which five? Forms cognizable by the eye that are wished for, desired, agreeable, endearing, connected with sensuality, and enticing to lust; sounds cognizable by the ear …; odors cognizable by the nose …; tastes cognizable by the tongue …; tangibles cognizable by the body that are wished for, desired, agreeable, endearing, connected with sensuality, and enticing to lust. These, student, are the five cords of sensual pleasure. The brahmin Pokkharasāti Opamañña of the Subhaga Grove partakes of these five cords of sensual pleasure — bound, infatuated, given over to them, not seeing the danger (ādīnava) in them, lacking the wisdom of escape (nissaraṇa). That such a one should know, or see, or realize a distinction of knowledge and vision (ñāṇadassana) worthy of the noble ones, surpassing the human state — this is not possible."
