1"Bhikkhus, for direct knowledge … for full understanding … for the utter destruction … for the abandoning … for the destruction … for the vanishing … for the fading away … for the cessation … for the giving up … for the relinquishment of hatred … of delusion … of anger … of hostility … of denigration … of insolence … of envy … of miserliness … of deceitfulness … of craftiness … of obstinacy … of vehemence … of conceit … of arrogance … of intoxication … of heedlessness … these eleven things are to be developed."


2This is what the Blessed One said. Elated, those bhikkhus delighted in the Blessed One's statement.

2Idamavoca bhagavā. Attamanā te bhikkhū bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandunti.


Rāgapeyyālaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ.

3Nava suttasahassāni,
bhiyyo pañcasatāni ca;
Sattapaññāsa suttantā,
aṅguttarasamāyutāti.

Ekādasakanipātapāḷi niṭṭhitā.
Aṅguttaranikāyo samatto.
