[289] Suppose, bhikkhus, a fisherman were to cast a baited hook into a deep pool of water, and a fish with an eye for the bait were to swallow it. That fish, bhikkhus, who has thus swallowed the fisherman's hook, has met with misfortune, has met with disaster, and the fisherman may do with it as he wishes. Even so, bhikkhus, there are these six hooks in the world, for the misfortune of beings, for the slaughter of living creatures. What six? There are, bhikkhus, forms cognizable by the eye that are wished for, desirable, agreeable, pleasing, connected with sensuality, provocative of lust. If a bhikkhu delights in them, welcomes them, and remains attached to them, this bhikkhu, bhikkhus, is called one who has swallowed Māra's hook; he has met with misfortune, has met with disaster, and the Evil One may do with him as he wishes. … There are, bhikkhus, tastes cognizable by the tongue … There are, bhikkhus, mental phenomena (dhammā) cognizable by the mind that are wished for, desirable, agreeable, pleasing, connected with sensuality, provocative of lust. If a bhikkhu delights in them, welcomes them, and remains attached to them, this bhikkhu, bhikkhus, is called one who has swallowed Māra's hook; he has met with misfortune, has met with disaster, and the Evil One may do with him as he wishes.
