Evaṃ pubbabhāge kāmarāgasaṅkhātassa lobhassa pahānāya paṭipanno vipassanaṃ ussukkāpetvā tatiyamaggena taṃ anavasesato samucchindati. Tena vuttaṃ "lobhaṃ bhikkhave ekadhammaṃ pajahatha, ahaṃ vo paṭibhogo anāgāmitāyā"ti.

Etthāha "ko panettha lobho pahīyati, kiṃ atīto atha anāgato udāhu paccuppanno"ti. Kiñcettha:- na tāva atīto lobho pahīyeyya, na anāgato vā tesaṃ abhāvato. Na hi niruddhaṃ anuppannaṃ vā atthīti vuccati, vāyāmo ca aphalo vuccati, āpajjati. Atha paccuppanno, evampi aphalo vāyāmo tassa sarasabhaṅgattā saṅkiliṭṭhā ca maggabhāvanā āpajjati, cittavippayutto vā lobho siyā, na cāyaṃ nayo icchitoti. Vuccate:- na vuttanayena atītānāgatapaccuppanno lobho pahīyati. Seyyathāpi idha taruṇo rukkho asañjātaphalo, taṃ puriso kuṭhāriyā

Ayaṃ hi aṭṭhakathāsu "bhūmiladdhuppanno"ti vuccati. Vipassanāya hi ārammaṇabhūtā pañcakkhandhā tassa uppajjanaṭṭhānatāya bhūmi nāma. Sā bhūmi tena laddhāti katvā bhūmiladdhuppanno. Ārammaṇādhiggahituppanno avikkhambhituppanno asamūhatuppannoti ca ayameva vuccati.
