Abhayattheragāthā  Abhaya

“Rūpaṁ disvā sati muṭṭhā,  When you see a sight, mindfulness is lost
Piyaṁ nimittaṁ manasikaroto; 
Piyaṁ nimittaṁ → piyanimittaṁ (bj, sya1ed, sya2ed, pts1ed)
as you focus on a pleasant feature.
Sārattacitto vedeti,  Experiencing it with a mind full of desire,
Tañca ajjhosa tiṭṭhati;  you keep clinging to it.
Tassa vaḍḍhanti āsavā,  Your defilements grow,
Bhavamūlopagāmino”ti. 
Bhavamūlopagāmino”ti → bhavamūlā bhavagāminoti (bj, mr)
leading to the root of rebirth.

… Abhayo thero ….
