Dutiyaāsavasutta

Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.

“Tayome, bhikkhave, āsavā. Katame tayo? Kāmāsavo, bhavāsavo, avijjāsavo— ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo āsavā”ti. Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Mendicants, there are these three defilements. What three? The defilements of sensuality, desire to be reborn, and ignorance. These are the three defilements.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:

“Yassa kāmāsavo khīṇo, avijjā ca virājitā; Bhavāsavo parikkhīṇo, vippamutto nirūpadhi; Dhāreti antimaṁ dehaṁ, jetvā māraṁ savāhinin”ti.

“One who has ended the defilement of sensuality, whose ignorance has faded away, and whose desire to be reborn is finished— liberated, free of attachments, they bear their final body, having vanquished Māra with his legions.”

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti. Aṭṭhamaṁ.

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
