[472] And how, for the abandoning of evil, unwholesome phenomena (dhammā) that have arisen, does a bhikkhu generate zeal (chanda), endeavor, arouse energy (viriya), exert the mind (citta), and strive?
Therein, which are the evil, unwholesome phenomena that have arisen?
The three unwholesome roots (akusalamūla) — greed (lobha), hatred (dosa), delusion (moha) — and the defilements (kilesa) standing together with them; the aggregate of feeling (vedanākkhandha), the aggregate of perception (saññākkhandha), the aggregate of volitional formations (saṅkhārakkhandha), and the aggregate of consciousness (viññāṇakkhandha) associated therewith; the bodily action (kāyakamma), verbal action (vacīkamma), and mental action (manokamma) originated thereby — these are called the evil, unwholesome phenomena that have arisen.
Thus, for the abandoning of these evil, unwholesome phenomena that have arisen, he generates zeal, endeavors, arouses energy, exerts the mind, and strives.
