[152] "Bhikkhus, I will teach you an exposition of the Dhamma (dhammapariyāya) on the theme of one secure from the yokes (yogakkhemipariyāya). Listen to it. And what, bhikkhus, is the exposition of the Dhamma on the theme of one secure from the yokes? There are, bhikkhus, forms (rūpa) cognizable by the eye that are wished for, desirable, agreeable, pleasing, connected with sensuality, provocative of lust. These have been abandoned by the Tathāgata, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, of such a nature that they are not subject to future arising; and he has declared the exertion (yoga) for their abandoning. Therefore the Tathāgata is called 'one secure from the yokes' (yogakkhemī). … There are, bhikkhus, tastes cognizable by the tongue … There are, bhikkhus, dhammas cognizable by the mind that are wished for, desirable, agreeable, pleasing, connected with sensuality, provocative of lust. These have been abandoned by the Tathāgata, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, of such a nature that they are not subject to future arising; and he has declared the exertion for their abandoning. Therefore the Tathāgata is called 'one secure from the yokes.' This, bhikkhus, is the exposition of the Dhamma on the theme of one secure from the yokes." The first [sutta].
