1At Sāvatthī. Sitting to one side, the Venerable Radha said to the Blessed One: "Venerable sir, it is said, ‘the conduit to existence, the conduit to existence.’ [n.246] I follow Se. Be reads bhavanetti-nirodho twice, Ee bhavanetti bhavanetti-nirodho. Bhavanetti, lit. "what leads to existence," is glossed bhavarajju, "rope of existence," by Spk. The expression is a synonym of bhavataṇhā, craving for existence, and often occurs in verse. What, venerable sir, is the conduit to existence, and what is the cessation of the conduit to existence?" sn.iii.191

"Radha, the desire, lust, delight, craving, engagement and clinging, mental standpoints, adherences, and underlying tendencies regarding form: [n.247] A partly similar series of terms is met at SN12.15. See II, nn. 31, 32.. this is called the conduit to existence. Their cessation is the cessation of the conduit to existence.

"The desire, lust, delight, craving, engagement and clinging, mental standpoints, adherences, and underlying tendencies regarding feeling … perception … volitional formations … consciousness: this is called the conduit to existence. Their cessation is the cessation of the conduit to existence."
