Evameva bhikkhu "ayaṃ kāmacchando Nāma palibodhamūlan"ti cintetvā cha dhamme bhāvetvā kāmacchandanīvaraṇaṃ pajahati. Te pana cha dhamme mahāsatipaṭaṭhāne vaṇṇayissāma. Tassevaṃ pahīnakāmacchandassa yathā iṇamuttassa purisassa iṇasāmike disvā neva bhayaṃ na chambhitattaṃ hoti, evameva paravatthumhi neva saṅgo na baddho hoti. Dibbānipi rūpāni passato kileso na samudācarati. Tasmā bhagavā ānaṇyamiva kāmacchandappahānaṃ āha.

Yathā pana so pittarogāturo puriso bhesajjakiriyāya taṃ rogaṃ vūpasametvā tato paṭṭhāya madhusakkarādīnaṃ rasaṃ vindati, evameva bhikkhu "ayaṃ byāpādo nāma anatthakaro"ti cha dhamme bhāvetvā byāpādanīvaraṇampajahati.
