Defilements (2nd)Dutiyaāsavasutta

This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Mendicants, there are these three defilements.“Tayome, bhikkhave, āsavā. What three?Katame tayo? The defilements of sensuality, desire to be reborn, and ignorance.Kāmāsavo, bhavāsavo, avijjāsavo— These are the three defilements.”ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo āsavā”ti.

The Buddha spoke this matter.Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. On this it is said:Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“One who has ended the defilement of sensuality,“Yassa kāmāsavo khīṇo, whose ignorance has faded away,avijjā ca virājitā; and whose desire to be reborn is finished—Bhavāsavo parikkhīṇo, liberated, free of attachments,vippamutto nirūpadhi; they bear their final body,Dhāreti antimaṁ dehaṁ, having vanquished Māra with his legions.”jetvā māraṁ savāhinin”ti.

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
