“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, ye keci supaṇṇānaṁ rukkhā, kūṭasimbalī tesaṁ aggamakkhāyati;

evameva kho, bhikkhave, ye keci bodhipakkhiyā dhammā, paññindriyaṁ tesaṁ aggamakkhāyati, yadidaṁ—bodhāya.

Katame ca, bhikkhave, bodhipakkhiyā dhammā?

Saddhindriyaṁ, bhikkhave, bodhipakkhiyo dhammo, taṁ bodhāya saṁvattati …pe… paññindriyaṁ bodhipakkhiyo dhammo, taṁ bodhāya saṁvattati.

Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, ye keci supaṇṇānaṁ rukkhā, kūṭasimbalī tesaṁ aggamakkhāyati;

evameva kho, bhikkhave, ye keci bodhipakkhiyā dhammā, paññindriyaṁ tesaṁ aggamakkhāyati, yadidaṁ—bodhāyā”ti.

Dasamaṁ.

Bodhipakkhiyavaggo sattamo.

Tassuddānaṁ

Saṁyojanā anusayā,

pariññā āsavakkhayā;

Dve phalā caturo rukkhā,

vaggo tena pavuccatīti.
