[337] "Bhikkhus, without having abandoned six dhammas, one is incapable of realizing arahantship. Which six? Dullness (thīna), drowsiness (middha), restlessness (uddhacca), remorse (kukkucca), lack of faith (assaddhiya), and heedlessness (pamāda). Bhikkhus, without having abandoned these six dhammas, one is incapable of realizing arahantship. "Bhikkhus, having abandoned six dhammas, one is capable of realizing arahantship. Which six? Dullness, drowsiness, restlessness, remorse, lack of faith, and heedlessness. Bhikkhus, having abandoned these six dhammas, one is capable of realizing arahantship." [Editorial note 1: The European edition (Yu.) here reads a mnemonic summary (uddāna): "... the six classes of birth, the taints, the elephant of wooden craft, water tending toward the mind — the chapter (concludes) with the penetrative lion's roar."]
