Sabbāsavasutta → sabbāsavasaṁvarasuttaṁ (sya-all)
All the Effluents

Evaṁ me sutaṁ—
me → evamme (bj: syā, PTS) | evaṁ me → evam-me (pts)
I have heard
ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:There he addressed the monks: “bhikkhavo”ti.
bhikkhavoti → bhikkhavo ti (pts)
“Monks!”

“Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ.
bhadanteti → bhadante ti (pts)
“Yes, lord,” the monks responded to him.
Bhagavā etadavoca:
etadavoca → etad-avoca (pts)
The Blessed One said,

“sabbāsavasaṁvarapariyāyaṁ vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi.
desessāmi → desissāmi (bj, sya-all) | desissāmi → desessā (bj: sīmu9)
Taṁ suṇātha, sādhukaṁ manasi karotha, bhāsissāmī”ti.
manasi karotha → manasikarotha (bjt, th)

“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ.
evaṁ bhanteti → evambhanteti (th) | evaṁ bhanteti → evam-bhante ti (pts)
Bhagavā etadavoca:

“Jānato ahaṁ, bhikkhave, passato āsavānaṁ khayaṁ vadāmi, no ajānato no apassato.“Monks, the ending of the effluents is for one who knows & sees, I tell you, not for one who doesn’t know & doesn’t see. Kiñca, bhikkhave, jānato kiñca passato āsavānaṁ khayaṁ vadāmi?
kiñca → kiṁ (bj, sya-all, pts) | khayaṁ vadāmi → khayo hoti (bj, sya-all, pts) | kiṁ → kiñca (bj: machasaṁ) | hoti → khayaṁ vadāmi (bj: machasaṁ) | kiñca → kiñ-ca (pts)
For one who knows what & sees what?
Yoniso ca manasikāraṁ ayoniso ca manasikāraṁ.
manasikāraṁ → manasikaro (bj: katthaci)
Appropriate attention & inappropriate attention.
Ayoniso, bhikkhave, manasikaroto anuppannā ceva āsavā uppajjanti, uppannā ca āsavā pavaḍḍhanti;
ceva → eva (pts)
When a monk attends inappropriately, unarisen effluents arise, and arisen effluents increase.
yoniso ca kho, bhikkhave, manasikaroto anuppannā ceva āsavā na uppajjanti, uppannā ca āsavā pahīyanti.
kho → (sya-all, pts) | pahīyanti → pahiyyanti (sya-all) | yoniso → yoniso ca bhikkhave (bj: syā) | pahīyanti → pahiyyanti (bj: syā) | ceva → eva (pts)
When a monk attends appropriately, unarisen effluents do not arise, and arisen effluents are abandoned.

Atthi, bhikkhave, āsavā dassanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā saṁvarā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā paṭisevanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā adhivāsanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā parivajjanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā vinodanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā bhāvanā pahātabbā.There are effluents to be abandoned by seeing, those to be abandoned by restraining, those to be abandoned by using, those to be abandoned by tolerating, those to be abandoned by avoiding, those to be abandoned by destroying, and those to be abandoned by developing.

1. Dassanāpahātabbaāsava

Katame ca, bhikkhave, āsavā dassanā pahātabbā?“[1] And what are the effluents to be abandoned by seeing? Idha, bhikkhave, assutavā puthujjano ariyānaṁ adassāvī ariyadhammassa akovido ariyadhamme avinīto, sappurisānaṁ adassāvī sappurisadhammassa akovido sappurisadhamme avinīto—There is the case where an uninstructed run-of-the-mill person—who has no regard for noble ones, is not well-versed or disciplined in their Dhamma; who has no regard for people of integrity, is not well-versed or disciplined in their Dhamma— manasikaraṇīye dhamme nappajānāti, amanasikaraṇīye dhamme nappajānāti.
nappajānāti → na-ppajānāti (pts)
doesn’t discern what ideas are fit for attention or what ideas are unfit for attention.
So manasikaraṇīye dhamme appajānanto amanasikaraṇīye dhamme appajānanto, ye dhammā na manasikaraṇīyā, te dhamme manasi karoti, ye dhammā manasikaraṇīyā te dhamme na manasi karoti.
manasi karoti → manasikaroti (th, pts)
This being so, he doesn’t attend to ideas fit for attention and attends (instead) to ideas unfit for attention.

Katame ca, bhikkhave, dhammā na manasikaraṇīyā ye dhamme manasi karoti?
manasi karoti → manasikaroti (th, pts)
“And what are the ideas unfit for attention that he attends to?
Yassa, bhikkhave, dhamme manasikaroto anuppanno vā kāmāsavo uppajjati, uppanno vā kāmāsavo pavaḍḍhati;
manasikaroto → manasi karoto (bjt) | yassa → y-assa (pts)
Whatever ideas such that, when he attends to them, the unarisen effluent of sensuality arises in him, and the arisen effluent of sensuality increases;
anuppanno vā bhavāsavo uppajjati, uppanno vā bhavāsavo pavaḍḍhati;the unarisen effluent of becoming arises in him, and the arisen effluent of becoming increases; anuppanno vā avijjāsavo uppajjati, uppanno vā avijjāsavo pavaḍḍhati—the unarisen effluent of ignorance arises in him, and the arisen effluent of ignorance increases. ime dhammā na manasikaraṇīyā ye dhamme manasi karoti.
manasi karoti → manasikaroti (th, pts)
These are the ideas unfit for attention that he attends to.

Katame ca, bhikkhave, dhammā manasikaraṇīyā ye dhamme na manasi karoti?
manasi karoti → manasikaroti (th, pts)
“And what are the ideas fit for attention that he doesn’t attend to?
Yassa, bhikkhave, dhamme manasikaroto anuppanno vā kāmāsavo na uppajjati, uppanno vā kāmāsavo pahīyati;
pahīyati → pahiyyati (sya-all) | pahīyati → pahiyyati (bj: syā) | manasikaroto → manasi karoto (bjt) | yassa → y-assa (pts)
Whatever ideas such that, when he attends to them, the unarisen effluent of sensuality doesn’t arise in him, and the arisen effluent of sensuality is abandoned;
anuppanno vā bhavāsavo na uppajjati, uppanno vā bhavāsavo pahīyati;
pahīyati → pahiyyati (sya-all)
the unarisen effluent of becoming doesn’t arise in him, and the arisen effluent of becoming is abandoned;
anuppanno vā avijjāsavo na uppajjati, uppanno vā avijjāsavo pahīyati—
pahīyati → pahiyyati (sya-all)
the unarisen effluent of ignorance doesn’t arise in him, and the arisen effluent of ignorance is abandoned.
ime dhammā manasikaraṇīyā ye dhamme na manasi karoti.
manasi karoti → manasikaroti (th, pts)
These are the ideas fit for attention that he doesn’t attend to.

Tassa amanasikaraṇīyānaṁ dhammānaṁ manasikārā manasikaraṇīyānaṁ dhammānaṁ amanasikārā anuppannā ceva āsavā uppajjanti uppannā ca āsavā pavaḍḍhanti.
ceva → eva (pts)
Through his attending to ideas unfit for attention and through his not attending to ideas fit for attention, both unarisen effluents arise in him, and arisen effluents increase.

So evaṁ ayoniso manasi karoti:
manasi karoti → manasikaroti (th, pts)
“This is how he attends inappropriately:
‘ahosiṁ nu kho ahaṁ atītamaddhānaṁ? Na nu kho ahosiṁ atītamaddhānaṁ? Kiṁ nu kho ahosiṁ atītamaddhānaṁ? Kathaṁ nu kho ahosiṁ atītamaddhānaṁ? Kiṁ hutvā kiṁ ahosiṁ nu kho ahaṁ atītamaddhānaṁ?
kiṁ nu → kinnu (bjt) | kathaṁ nu → kathannu (bjt) | ahosiṁ nu → ahosin-nu (pts) | atītamaddhānaṁ → atītam-addhānaṁ (pts) | atītamaddhānaṁ kiṁ nu → atītam-addhānaṁ kin-nu (pts) | kathaṁ nu → kathan-nu (pts)
‘Was I in the past? Was I not in the past? What was I in the past? How was I in the past? Having been what, what was I in the past?
Bhavissāmi nu kho ahaṁ anāgatamaddhānaṁ? Na nu kho bhavissāmi anāgatamaddhānaṁ? Kiṁ nu kho bhavissāmi anāgatamaddhānaṁ? Kathaṁ nu kho bhavissāmi anāgatamaddhānaṁ? Kiṁ hutvā kiṁ bhavissāmi nu kho ahaṁ anāgatamaddhānan’ti?
anāgatamaddhānanti → anāgatamaddhānaṁ (bj: katthaci) | kiṁ nu → kinnu (bjt) | kathaṁ nu → kathannu (bjt) | anāgatamaddhānaṁ → anāgatam-addhānaṁ (pts) | anāgatamaddhānaṁ kiṁ nu → anāgatam-addhānaṁ kin-nu (pts) | anāgatamaddhānaṁ kathaṁ nu → anāgatam-addhānaṁ kathan-nu (pts) | anāgatamaddhānanti → anāgatam-addhānan-ti (pts)
Shall I be in the future? Shall I not be in the future? What shall I be in the future? How shall I be in the future? Having been what, what shall I be in the future?’
Etarahi vā paccuppannamaddhānaṁ ajjhattaṁ kathaṅkathī hoti:
paccuppannamaddhānaṁ → paccuppannamaddhānaṁ ārabbha (sya-all) | paccuppannaṁ → paccuppannamaddhānaṁ (bj: machasaṁ) | paccuppannamaddhānaṁ → paccuppannamaddhānaṁ ārabbha (cck: syā.) | kathaṅkathī → kathaṁkathī (my, bjt, th, ms2005, pts) | paccuppannamaddhānaṁ → paccuppannaṁ addhānaṁ (bjt) | paccuppannamaddhānaṁ → paccuppannam-addhānaṁ (pts)
Or else he is inwardly perplexed about the immediate present:
‘ahaṁ nu khosmi? No nu khosmi? Kiṁ nu khosmi? Kathaṁ nu khosmi? Ayaṁ nu kho satto kuto āgato? So kuhiṁ gāmī bhavissatī’ti?
kiṁ nu → kinnu (bjt) | ahaṁ nu khosmi → ahan-nu kho smi (pts) | khosmi kiṁ nu khosmi kathaṁ nu khosmi → kho smi kin-nu kho smi kathan-nu kho smi (pts) | kuhiṁ gāmī → kuhiṁgāmī (pts)
‘Am I? Am I not? What am I? How am I? Where has this being come from? Where is it bound?’

Tassa evaṁ ayoniso manasikaroto channaṁ diṭṭhīnaṁ aññatarā diṭṭhi uppajjati.
assa → vāssa (bj, sya-all, pts1ed) | manasikaroto → manasi karoto (bjt)
“As he attends inappropriately in this way, one of six kinds of view arises in him:
‘Atthi me attā’ti vā assa saccato thetato diṭṭhi uppajjati;
vā assa → vāssa (bj, sya-all) | assa → ssa (pts) | assa → vāssa (cck: sī. syā. pī.) | attāti → attā ti (pts)
The view I have a self arises in him as true & established,
‘natthi me attā’ti vā assa saccato thetato diṭṭhi uppajjati;
vā assa → vāssa (bj, sya-all) | assa → ssa (pts) | natthi → na-tthi (pts) | attāti → attā ti (pts)
or the view I have no self …
‘attanāva attānaṁ sañjānāmī’ti vā assa saccato thetato diṭṭhi uppajjati;
vā assa → vāssa (bj, sya-all) | assa → ssa (pts) | attanāva → attanā va (pts)
or the view It is precisely by means of self that I perceive self …
‘attanāva anattānaṁ sañjānāmī’ti vā assa saccato thetato diṭṭhi uppajjati;
vā assa → vāssa (bj, sya-all) | assa → ssa (pts) | attanāva → attanā va (pts)
or the view It is precisely by means of self that I perceive not-self …
‘anattanāva attānaṁ sañjānāmī’ti vā assa saccato thetato diṭṭhi uppajjati;
vā assa → vāssa (bj, sya-all) | assa → ssa (pts) | anattanāva → anattanā va (pts)
or the view It is precisely by means of not-self that I perceive self arises in him as true & established,
atha vā panassa evaṁ diṭṭhi hoti:
panassa → pan assa (pts)
or else he has a view like this:
‘yo me ayaṁ attā vado vedeyyo tatra tatra kalyāṇapāpakānaṁ kammānaṁ vipākaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti so kho pana me ayaṁ attā nicco dhuvo sassato avipariṇāmadhammo sassatisamaṁ tatheva ṭhassatī’ti.
attā vado → attāva (sya-all) | yo → so (bj: katthaci) | vedeyyo → attāva vedeyyo (bj: syā) | kalyāṇapāpakānaṁ → kalyāṇa pāpakānaṁ (th) | tatheva → tath eva (pts)
This very self of mine—the knower that is sensitive here & there to the ripening of good & bad actions—is the self of mine that is constant, everlasting, eternal, not subject to change, and will endure as long as eternity.
Idaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, diṭṭhigataṁ diṭṭhigahanaṁ diṭṭhikantāraṁ diṭṭhivisūkaṁ diṭṭhivipphanditaṁ diṭṭhisaṁyojanaṁ.
diṭṭhikantāraṁ → diṭṭhikantāro (bj) | diṭṭhigahanaṁ diṭṭhikantāraṁ → diṭṭhigahaṇaṁ diṭṭhikantāro (sya-all) | diṭṭhigahanaṁ → diṭṭhigahaṇaṁ (bj: syā) | diṭṭhikantāro → diṭṭhikantāraṁ (bj: sī.væa, PTS)
This is called a thicket of views, a wilderness of views, a contortion of views, a writhing of views, a fetter of views.
Diṭṭhisaṁyojanasaṁyutto, bhikkhave, assutavā puthujjano na parimuccati jātiyā jarāya maraṇena sokehi paridevehi dukkhehi domanassehi upāyāsehi;
jarāya maraṇena → jarāmaraṇena (bj, pts) | jarāmaraṇena → jarāya maraṇena (bj: machasaṁ, syā) | upāyāsehi → sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsehi (bj: syā) | sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsehi → sīhaḷa sokehi …pe… upāyāsehi (sya-all note)
Bound by a fetter of views, the uninstructed run-of-the-mill person is not freed from birth, aging, & death, from sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair.
‘na parimuccati dukkhasmā’ti vadāmi.
dukkhasmāti → dukkhasmā ti (pts)
He is not freed, I tell you, from suffering & stress.

Sutavā ca kho, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako—“The well-instructed disciple of the noble ones— ariyānaṁ dassāvī ariyadhammassa kovido ariyadhamme suvinīto, sappurisānaṁ dassāvī sappurisadhammassa kovido sappurisadhamme suvinīto—who has regard for noble ones, is well-versed & disciplined in their Dhamma; who has regard for people of integrity, is well-versed & disciplined in their Dhamma— manasikaraṇīye dhamme pajānāti amanasikaraṇīye dhamme pajānāti.discerns what ideas are fit for attention and what ideas are unfit for attention. So manasikaraṇīye dhamme pajānanto amanasikaraṇīye dhamme pajānanto ye dhammā na manasikaraṇīyā te dhamme na manasi karoti, ye dhammā manasikaraṇīyā te dhamme manasi karoti.
manasi karoti → manasikaroti (th, pts)
This being so, he doesn’t attend to ideas unfit for attention and attends (instead) to ideas fit for attention.

Katame ca, bhikkhave, dhammā na manasikaraṇīyā ye dhamme na manasi karoti?
manasi karoti → manasikaroti (th, pts)
“And what are the ideas unfit for attention that he doesn’t attend to?
Yassa, bhikkhave, dhamme manasikaroto anuppanno vā kāmāsavo uppajjati, uppanno vā kāmāsavo pavaḍḍhati;

anuppanno vā bhavāsavo uppajjati, uppanno vā bhavāsavo pavaḍḍhati;
bhavāsavo → uppajjati, uppanno vā bhavāsavo pavaḍḍhati, anuppanno vā (bj: machasaṁ, syā)
the unarisen effluent of becoming arises in him, and the arisen effluent of becoming increases;
anuppanno vā avijjāsavo uppajjati, uppanno vā avijjāsavo pavaḍḍhati—the unarisen effluent of ignorance arises in him, and the arisen effluent of ignorance increases. ime dhammā na manasikaraṇīyā, ye dhamme na manasi karoti.
manasi karoti → manasikaroti (th, pts)
These are the ideas unfit for attention that he doesn’t attend to.

Katame ca, bhikkhave, dhammā manasikaraṇīyā ye dhamme manasi karoti?
manasi karoti → manasikaroti (th, pts)
“And what are the ideas fit for attention that he does attend to?
Yassa, bhikkhave, dhamme manasikaroto anuppanno vā kāmāsavo na uppajjati, uppanno vā kāmāsavo pahīyati;
pahīyati → pahiyyati (sya-all) | manasikaroto → manasi karoto (bjt) | yassa → y-assa (pts)
Whatever ideas such that, when he attends to them, the unarisen effluent of sensuality doesn’t arise in him, and the arisen effluent of sensuality is abandoned;
anuppanno vā bhavāsavo na uppajjati, uppanno vā bhavāsavo pahīyati;
pahīyati → pahiyyati (sya-all) | bhavāsavo → na uppajjati, uppanno vā bhavāsavo pahīyati, anuppanno vā (bj: machasaṁ, syā)
the unarisen effluent of becoming doesn’t arise in him, and the arisen effluent of becoming is abandoned;
anuppanno vā avijjāsavo na uppajjati, uppanno vā avijjāsavo pahīyati—
pahīyati → pahiyyati (sya-all)
the unarisen effluent of ignorance doesn’t arise in him, and the arisen effluent of ignorance is abandoned.
ime dhammā manasikaraṇīyā ye dhamme manasi karoti.
manasi karoti → manasikaroti (th, pts)
These are the ideas fit for attention that he does attend to.

Tassa amanasikaraṇīyānaṁ dhammānaṁ amanasikārā manasikaraṇīyānaṁ dhammānaṁ manasikārā anuppannā ceva āsavā na uppajjanti, uppannā ca āsavā pahīyanti.
pahīyanti → pahiyyanti (sya-all) | ceva → eva (pts)
Through his not attending to ideas unfit for attention and through his attending to ideas fit for attention, unarisen effluents do not arise in him, and arisen effluents are abandoned.

So ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yoniso manasi karoti, ‘ayaṁ dukkhasamudayo’ti yoniso manasi karoti, ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodho’ti yoniso manasi karoti, ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yoniso manasi karoti.

“He attends appropriately, This is stress … This is the origination of stress … This is the cessation of stress … This is the way leading to the cessation of stress.
Tassa evaṁ yoniso manasikaroto tīṇi saṁyojanāni pahīyanti—
pahīyanti → pahiyyanti (sya-all) | yoniso → (pts)
As he attends appropriately in this way, three fetters are abandoned in him:
sakkāyadiṭṭhi, vicikicchā, sīlabbataparāmāso.
sīlabbataparāmāso → sīlabbatta (bj: syā)
self-identification view, doubt, and grasping at habits & practices.
Ime vuccanti, bhikkhave, āsavā dassanā pahātabbā.These are called the effluents to be abandoned by seeing.

2. Saṁvarāpahātabbaāsava

Katame ca, bhikkhave, āsavā saṁvarā pahātabbā?“[2] And what are the effluents to be abandoned by restraining? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu paṭisaṅkhā yoniso cakkhundriyasaṁvarasaṁvuto viharati.There is the case where a monk, reflecting appropriately, dwells restrained with the restraint of the eye-faculty. Yañhissa, bhikkhave, cakkhundriyasaṁvaraṁ asaṁvutassa viharato uppajjeyyuṁ āsavā vighātapariḷāhā, cakkhundriyasaṁvaraṁ saṁvutassa viharato evaṁsa te āsavā vighātapariḷāhā na honti.

The effluents, vexation, or fever that would arise if he were to dwell unrestrained with the restraint of the eye-faculty do not arise for him when he dwells restrained with the restraint of the eye-faculty.

Ime vuccanti, bhikkhave, āsavā saṁvarā pahātabbā.These are called the effluents to be abandoned by restraining.

3. Paṭisevanāpahātabbaāsava

Katame ca, bhikkhave, āsavā paṭisevanā pahātabbā?“[3] And what are the effluents to be abandoned by using? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu paṭisaṅkhā yoniso cīvaraṁ paṭisevati:There is the case where a monk, reflecting appropriately, ‘yāvadeva sītassa paṭighātāya, uṇhassa paṭighātāya, ḍaṁsamakasavātātapasarīsapasamphassānaṁ paṭighātāya, yāvadeva hirikopīnappaṭicchādanatthaṁ’.
