[1371] "Friend Mahānāma, as for those bhikkhus who are arahants (arahanto), whose taints (āsava) are destroyed, who have lived the holy life, done what had to be done, laid down the burden, reached their own true goal, utterly destroyed the fetters of existence, and are liberated through final knowledge — for them the five hindrances (nīvaraṇa) have been abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, so that they are no more subject to future arising. Which five? The hindrance of sensual desire has been abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, no more subject to future arising; the hindrance of ill will has been abandoned …; the hindrance of dullness and drowsiness, the hindrance of restlessness and remorse, the hindrance of doubt has been abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, no more subject to future arising.
