1"Bhikkhus, there are these seven underlying tendencies. What seven?
The underlying tendency to sensual lust,[n.48] Spk: The "underlying tendency to sensual lust" (kāmānusaya) is sensual lust itself, which is an "underlying tendency" in the sense that it has gained strength (thāmagataṭṭhena). Spk-pṭ: "Gained strength" by being firmly implanted in a being's mental continuum.
the underlying tendency to aversion,
the underlying tendency to views,
the underlying tendency to doubt,
the underlying tendency to conceit,
the underlying tendency to lust for existence,
the underlying tendency to ignorance.
These are the seven underlying tendencies.

The Noble Eightfold Path is to be developed
- for direct knowledge of these seven underlying tendencies,
- for the full understanding of them,
- for their utter destruction,
- for their abandoning.

What Noble Eightfold Path?
Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu develops right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration,
- which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release;
- which has as its final goal the removal of lust, the removal of hatred, the removal of delusion;
- which has the Deathless as its ground, the Deathless as its destination, the Deathless as its final goal;
- which slants, slopes, and inclines towards Nibbāna.

This Noble Eightfold Path is to be developed
- for direct knowledge of these seven underlying tendencies,
- for the full understanding of them,
- for their utter destruction,
- for their abandoning."
