[534] 95. "Bhikkhus, just as in the autumn season, when the sky is clear and free of clouds, the sun, ascending into the firmament, having dispelled all the darkness in space, shines and blazes and radiates — even so, bhikkhus, when the dust-free, stainless Dhamma-eye (dhammacakkhu) has arisen in a noble disciple, then, together with the arising of that vision, bhikkhus, three fetters are abandoned by the noble disciple: personality-view (sakkāyadiṭṭhi), doubt (vicikicchā), and adherence to rules and rituals (sīlabbataparāmāsa). Thereafter he goes forth from two things: covetousness (abhijjhā) and ill will (byāpāda). Secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unwholesome states, he enters and dwells in the first jhāna, which is accompanied by thought and examination, with rapture and pleasure born of seclusion. If, bhikkhus, the noble disciple should die at that time, there is no fetter, bound by which fetter, the noble disciple might come again to this world."
