These are called, monks, the phenomena subject to mental fetters.
Whatever desire and lust there is therein, that is the mental fetter therein. Etc.
There are, monks, flavours cognisable by tongue, etc.
There are, monks, mental phenomena cognisable by mind that are desirable, lovely, agreeable, enticing, connected with sensuality, arousing.
