[441] **"The abandoning of sensual desires" (pahānaṃ kāmachandānaṃ):** "Desires" (chandā): whatever, with regard to sensual pleasures, is sensual desire (kāmacchanda), sensual lust (kāmarāga), sensual delight (kāmanandi), craving for sensual pleasures (kāmataṇhā), sensual affection (kāmasineha), sensual thirst (kāmapipāsā), sensual fever (kāmapariḷāha), sensual infatuation (kāmamucchā), sensual adherence (kāmajjhosāna), the flood of sensuality (kāmogha), the yoke of sensuality (kāmayoga), clinging to sensuality (kāmupādāna), the hindrance (nīvaraṇa) of sensual desire (kāmacchandanīvaraṇa). **"The abandoning of sensual desires":** the abandoning (pahāna) of sensual desires, their stilling (vūpasama), relinquishment (paṭinissagga), tranquilization (paṭippassaddhi) — the Deathless, Nibbāna. Hence, "the abandoning of sensual desires." **"'Udaya,' said the Blessed One":** "Udaya" — the Blessed One addresses that brahmin by name. "Blessed One" (bhagavā): this is a term of reverence … "Blessed One": this designation is one made real by realization (sacchikā paññatti). Hence, "'Udaya,' said the Blessed One."
