1"Bhikkhus, desire and lust for perception of forms, for perception of sounds, for perception of odours, for perception of tastes, for perception of tactile objects, for perception of mental phenomena is a corruption of the mind.

When a bhikkhu has abandoned the mental corruption in these six cases, his mind inclines to renunciation. A mind fortified by renunciation becomes wieldy in regard to those things that are to be realized by direct knowledge."[n.274] Spk: His mind inclines to renunciation (nekkhammaninnaṁ c’ assa cittaṁ hoti): The mind of serenity and insight inclines to the nine supramundane states. Those things to be realized by direct knowledge (abhiññā sacchikaraṇiyesu dhammesu): the things pertaining to the six direct knowledges. Spk does not gloss the verb khāyati, lit. "appears."

Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno … pe … abhiññā sacchikaraṇīyesu dhammesū"ti.

Chaṭṭhaṁ.
