Kissassu vippahānena,

Icchāya vippahānena,

SC 1 “By what is the world bound?
By the removal of what is it freed?
What is it that one must forsake
To cut off all bondage?”

SC 2 “By desire is the world bound;
By the removal of desire it is freed.
Desire is what one must forsake
To cut off all bondage.” sn.i.41
