12.
"Monks, the holy life is lived for the abandoning and eradication of seven underlying tendencies.
Which seven?
The holy life is lived for the abandoning and eradication of the underlying tendency to sensual lust, of the underlying tendency to aversion, etc.
of the underlying tendency to wrong view...
of the underlying tendency to sceptical doubt...
of the underlying tendency to conceit...
of the underlying tendency to lust for existence...
the holy life is lived for the abandoning and eradication of the underlying tendency to ignorance.
For the abandoning and eradication of these seven underlying tendencies, monks, the holy life is lived.
"And when, monks, for a monk the underlying tendency to sensual lust has been abandoned, its root cut off, made like a palm stump, brought to obliteration, subject to non-arising in the future. The underlying tendency to aversion, etc. the underlying tendency to wrong view... the underlying tendency to sceptical doubt... the underlying tendency to conceit... the underlying tendency to lust for existence... the underlying tendency to ignorance has been abandoned, its root cut off, made like a palm stump, brought to obliteration, subject to non-arising in the future. This is called, monks, a monk who has cut off craving, turned back the mental fetters, through the complete full realisation of conceit has made an end of suffering." The second.
