[375] At Sāvatthī. The Blessed One said this to the Venerable Rādha, who was seated to one side: "Rādha, whatever desire (chanda), whatever lust (rāga), whatever delight (nandi), whatever craving (taṇhā) there is regarding form (rūpa) — abandon that. Thus that form will be abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, of a nature not to arise again in the future. Whatever desire, whatever lust, whatever delight, whatever craving there is regarding feeling (vedanā) — abandon that. Thus that feeling will be abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, of a nature not to arise again in the future. Regarding perception … . Whatever desire, whatever lust, whatever delight, whatever craving there is regarding volitional formations — abandon that. Thus those volitional formations will be abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, of a nature not to arise again in the future. Whatever desire, whatever lust, whatever delight, whatever craving there is regarding consciousness — abandon that. Thus that consciousness will be abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, of a nature not to arise again in the future."
