[376] 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, and whatever engagement and clinging (upāyupādāna), whatever standpoints, adherences, and underlying tendencies of the mind (cetaso adhiṭṭhānābhinivesānusayā) — abandon them. Thus that form will be abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump (tālāvatthukata), obliterated, no longer subject to arising in the future.
"Whatever desire, whatever lust, whatever delight, whatever craving there is regarding feeling (vedanā), and whatever engagement and clinging, whatever standpoints, adherences, and underlying tendencies of the mind — abandon them. Thus that feeling will be abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, no longer subject to arising in the future.
"Regarding perception … .
"Whatever desire, whatever lust, whatever delight, whatever craving there is regarding volitional formations, and whatever engagement and clinging, whatever standpoints, adherences, and underlying tendencies of the mind — abandon them. Thus those volitional formations will be abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, no longer subject to arising in the future.
"Whatever desire, whatever lust, whatever delight, whatever craving there is regarding consciousness, and whatever engagement and clinging, whatever standpoints, adherences, and underlying tendencies of the mind — abandon them. Thus that consciousness will be abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, no longer subject to arising in the future."
