[275] 6. Bhikkhus, there are these three kinds of arising of sensual pleasures (kāmūpapatti). What three? Those whose sensual pleasures are already present (paccupaṭṭhitakāmā), those who delight in their own creations (nimmānaratino), and those who wield power over the creations of others (paranimmitavasavattino). These, bhikkhus, are the three kinds of arising of sensual pleasures.
Those whose sensual pleasures are already present,
and the gods who wield power,
the gods who delight in creation,
and whoever else enjoys sensual pleasures —
they do not pass beyond saṃsāra,
the round of being thus and becoming otherwise.
Having understood this danger
in the enjoyment of sensual pleasures,
a wise one should relinquish all sensual pleasures,
whether divine or human.
Having cut the stream so hard to cross,
bound fast to dear and agreeable forms,
they attain final Nibbāna without remainder;
without remainder they have passed beyond suffering (dukkha).
Seers of the noble [truths] (ariyaddasā), masters of knowledge (vedagū),
the wise who have rightly understood,
having directly known the destruction of birth (jāti),
come no more to renewed existence.
