[285] 6. Bhikkhus, there are these four arisings of craving (taṇhuppāda) wherein craving (taṇhā), when it arises, arises in a bhikkhu. What four? Because of robes (cīvara), bhikkhus, craving, when it arises, arises in a bhikkhu; or because of almsfood (piṇḍapāta), bhikkhus, craving, when it arises, arises in a bhikkhu; or because of lodging (senāsana), bhikkhus, craving, when it arises, arises in a bhikkhu; or because of existence in this or that state (itibhavābhava), bhikkhus, craving, when it arises, arises in a bhikkhu. These, bhikkhus, are the four arisings of craving wherein craving, when it arises, arises in a bhikkhu. A person with craving as his companion, transmigrating for a long time, does not pass beyond the round of rebirth (saṃsāra), with its being thus and being otherwise. Having known this danger (ādīnava) — that craving is the origin of suffering (dukkha) — free from craving, without grasping, let the bhikkhu wander forth, mindful.
