[299] Sāvatthī. Bhikkhus, whatever desire (chanda), whatever lust (rāga), whatever delight (nandi), whatever craving (taṇhā), whatever engagement and clinging (upāyupādāna) there is toward form — the mental standpoints, adherences, and underlying tendencies (cetaso adhiṭṭhānābhinivesānusayā) — abandon them. Thus that form will be abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, not subject to arising in the future. Toward feeling (vedanā) … Toward perception … Toward volitional formations, whatever desire … Thus those volitional formations will be abandoned, cut off at the root, made like palm stumps, obliterated, not subject to arising in the future. Whatever desire, whatever lust, whatever delight, whatever craving, whatever engagement and clinging there is toward consciousness — the mental standpoints, adherences, and underlying tendencies — abandon them. Thus that consciousness will be abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, not subject to arising in the future.
