[71] Bhikkhus, these five dhammas, when developed and cultivated, have liberation of mind (cetovimutti) as their fruit and liberation of mind as their fruit and benefit; they have liberation by wisdom (paññāvimutti) as their fruit and liberation by wisdom as their fruit and benefit. What five? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells contemplating the unattractive (asubha) in the body; he is percipient of repulsiveness in food; he is percipient of non-delight in the entire world; he dwells contemplating impermanence in all conditioned formations (saṅkhārā); and the perception of death is well established within him. These, bhikkhus, are the five dhammas which, when developed and cultivated, have liberation of mind as their fruit and liberation of mind as their fruit and benefit, and have liberation by wisdom as their fruit and liberation by wisdom as their fruit and benefit.
When, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu is liberated in mind and liberated by wisdom, this bhikkhu is called one who has lifted the crossbar, one who has filled in the moat, one who has pulled up the pillar, one who has drawn back the bolt, a noble one whose banner is lowered, whose burden is laid down, who is detached.
And how, bhikkhus, is a bhikkhu one who has lifted the crossbar? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu has abandoned ignorance (avijjā), cut it off at the root, made it like a palm stump, obliterated it so that it is no longer subject to arising in the future. It is in this way, bhikkhus, that a bhikkhu is one who has lifted the crossbar.
And how, bhikkhus, is a bhikkhu one who has filled in the moat? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu has abandoned the round of birth (jāti) that leads to renewed existence, cut it off at the root, made it like a palm stump, obliterated it so that it is no longer subject to arising in the future. It is in this way, bhikkhus, that a bhikkhu is one who has filled in the moat.
And how, bhikkhus, is a bhikkhu one who has pulled up the pillar? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu has abandoned craving (taṇhā), cut it off at the root, made it like a palm stump, obliterated it so that it is no longer subject to arising in the future. It is in this way, bhikkhus, that a bhikkhu is one who has pulled up the pillar.
And how, bhikkhus, is a bhikkhu one who has drawn back the bolt? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu has abandoned the five lower fetters (saṃyojana), cut them off at the root, made them like a palm stump, obliterated them so that they are no longer subject to arising in the future. It is in this way, bhikkhus, that a bhikkhu is one who has drawn back the bolt.
And how, bhikkhus, is a bhikkhu a noble one whose banner is lowered, whose burden is laid down, who is detached? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu has abandoned the conceit 'I am' (asmimāna), cut it off at the root, made it like a palm stump, obliterated it so that it is no longer subject to arising in the future. It is in this way, bhikkhus, that a bhikkhu is a noble one whose banner is lowered, whose burden is laid down, who is detached.
