[424] **"One should dispel all craving to take hold (ādānataṇhā)"**: craving to take hold refers to craving for form (rūpataṇhā). For what reason is craving for form called craving to take hold? Through that craving (taṇhā), beings take hold of, cling to, grasp at, adhere to, and become fixed upon form; they take hold of, cling to, grasp at, adhere to, and become fixed upon feeling (vedanā), perception, volitional formations, consciousness, destination (gati), rebirth (upapatti), rebirth-linking (paṭisandhi), existence (bhava), saṃsāra, and the round (vaṭṭa). For that reason craving for form is called craving to take hold.
**"One should dispel all craving to take hold"**: one should dispel all craving to take hold — should remove it, abandon it, drive it out, make an end of it, and bring it to non-existence. Hence, "one should dispel all craving to take hold."
**"'Bhadrāvudha,' said the Blessed One"**: the Blessed One addresses that brahmin by name, "Bhadrāvudha." **"The Blessed One"**: this is a designation of reverence … a designation verified by realization (sacchikā paññatti), namely, "the Blessed One." Hence, "'Bhadrāvudha,' said the Blessed One."
