“Rādha, there are these five grasping aggregates.“pañcime, rādha, upādānakkhandhā. What five?Katame pañca? The grasping aggregates of form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness.Rūpupādānakkhandho …pe… viññāṇupādānakkhandho. A mendicant comes to be freed by not grasping after truly understanding these five grasping aggregates’ origin, disappearance, gratification, drawback, and escape.Yato kho, rādha, bhikkhu imesaṁ pañcannaṁ upādānakkhandhānaṁ samudayañca atthaṅgamañca assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṁ viditvā anupādāvimutto hoti— Such a mendicant is called a perfected one, with defilements ended, who has completed the spiritual journey, done what had to be done, laid down the burden, achieved their heart’s goal, utterly ended the fetter of continued existence, and is rightly freed through enlightenment.”ayaṁ vuccati, rādha, bhikkhu arahaṁ khīṇāsavo vusitavā katakaraṇīyo ohitabhāro anuppattasadattho parikkhīṇabhavasaṁyojano sammadaññāvimutto”ti.
