[869] **Not spiteful, not greedy (aniṭṭhurī anānugiddho):** What is spitefulness (niṭṭhuriya)? Here someone is spiteful: with regard to another's gain, honour, respect, esteem, homage, and veneration, he envies, he begrudges, he binds envy. That which is spitefulness of such a kind, the act of spite, envy (issā), the act of envying, the state of being envious, begrudging, the act of begrudging, the state of being begrudging — this is called spitefulness. One in whom this spitefulness has been abandoned, cut off, stilled, tranquilized, rendered incapable of arising, burnt up by the fire of knowledge (ñāṇa) — he is called "not spiteful." Hence, "not spiteful." **Not greedy (anānugiddho):** craving (taṇhā) is called greed (gedha), that is, whatever lust, infatuation … covetousness, greed, the unwholesome root. One in whom this greed has been abandoned, cut off, stilled, tranquilized, rendered incapable of arising, burnt up by the fire of knowledge — he is called "not greedy." He is not greedy for form … he is not greedy for, not bound to, not infatuated with, not fastened upon things seen, heard, sensed, and dhammas to be cognized; he is rid of greed, devoid of greed, has given up greed, disgorged greed, released greed, abandoned greed, relinquished greed; he is rid of lust, devoid of lust, has given up lust, disgorged lust, released lust, abandoned lust, relinquished lust; hungerless, quenched, become cool, experiencing bliss, he dwells with a self become divine (brahmabhūtena attanā).
