At Sāvatthī.Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

“Mendicants, desire and greed for form, feeling, perception, choices, or consciousness is a corruption of the mind.“Yo, bhikkhave, rūpasmiṁ chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso …pe… yo viññāṇasmiṁ chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. When a mendicant has given up mental corruption in these five cases, their mind inclines to renunciation.Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno imesu pañcasu ṭhānesu cetaso upakkileso pahīno hoti, nekkhammaninnañcassa cittaṁ hoti. A mind imbued with renunciation is said to be fit for work regarding anything that can be realized by insight.”Nekkhammaparibhāvitaṁ cittaṁ kammaniyaṁ khāyati, abhiññā sacchikaraṇīyesu dhammesū”ti.
