5. Paṭhamaesanāsuttaṃ

54. Vuttañhetaṃ bhagavatā, vuttamarahatāti me sutaṃ –

‘‘Tisso imā, bhikkhave, esanā. Katamā tisso? Kāmesanā, bhavesanā, brahmacariyesanā – imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso esanā’’ti. Etamatthaṃ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṃ iti vuccati –

‘‘Samāhito sampajāno, sato buddhassa sāvako;

Esanā ca pajānāti, esanānañca sambhavaṃ.

‘‘Yattha cetā nirujjhanti, maggañca khayagāminaṃ;

Esanānaṃ khayā bhikkhu, nicchāto parinibbuto’’ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti. Pañcamaṃ.
