[763] In the passage "Hitvāna kāmāni yathodhikāni" — "having abandoned sensual pleasures, each within its own limits": as to "sensual pleasures (kāmā)," by way of summary (uddāna) there are two kinds of sensual pleasure: objective sensuality (vatthukāma) and subjective sensuality (kilesakāma). … These are called objective sensuality. … These are called subjective sensuality. "Having abandoned sensual pleasures": having fully understood objective sensuality, and having abandoned, relinquished, dispelled, made an end of, and brought to non-existence subjective sensuality — thus, "having abandoned sensual pleasures." "Each within its own limits (yathodhikāni)": whatever defilements have been abandoned by the path of stream-entry (sotāpattimagga), to those defilements one does not come again, does not revert, does not return; whatever defilements have been abandoned by the path of once-returning (sakadāgāmimagga), whatever defilements have been abandoned by the path of non-returning (anāgāmimagga), whatever defilements have been abandoned by the path of Arahantship (arahattamagga), to those defilements one does not come again, does not revert, does not return — thus, "having abandoned sensual pleasures, each within its own limits. One should wander alone like a rhinoceros horn." Therefore that Paccekasambuddha said: Having left behind son and wife, father and mother, riches and grain and relatives, having abandoned sensual pleasures, each within its own limits, one should wander alone like a rhinoceros horn.
