Dhammapada, Dhamma Verses (KN 2)

25: The Chapter about Monastics – 132
Pañca chinde, pañca jahe, pañca cuttaribhāvaye,
One should cut off five, one should abandon five, one should cultivate five more,
pañca saṅgātigo bhikkhu oghatiṇṇo ti vuccati. [370]
the monastic who surmounts five attachments is called a flood-crosser. 1
Jhāya, bhikkhu, mā ca pāmado,
Meditate, monastic, do not be heedless,
mā te kāmaguṇe bhamassu cittaṁ,
do not let your mind swirl around in strands of desire,
mā lohaguḷaṁ gilī, pamatto,
do not, heedless, swallow a (hot) iron ball,
mā kandi: ‘Dukkham-idan’-ti ḍayhamāno. [371]
do not, while burning, cry: ‘This is suffering.’
Natthi jhānaṁ apaññassa, paññā natthi ajhāyato,
There is no concentration for one without wisdom, there is no wisdom for one without
concentration,
yamhi jhānañ-ca paññā ca sa ve Nibbānasantike. [372]
the one who has both concentration and wisdom is indeed in the presence of Nibbāna.
Suññāgāraṁ paviṭṭhassa, santacittassa bhikkhuno,
For the one who has entered an empty place, a monastic with a peaceful mind,
amānusī ratī hoti sammā Dhammaṁ vipassato. [373]
there is superhuman delight from insight into true Dhamma.
Yato yato sammasati khandhānaṁ udayabbayaṁ
Whoever has right mindfulness regarding the rise and fall of the components (of mind
and body)
labhatī pītipāmojjaṁ, amataṁ taṁ vijānataṁ. [374]
gains joy and happiness, that is the deathless state for the one who knows.

The comm. explains it thus: one should cut off the five lower destinations, abandon the five lower
fetters, cultivate five spiritual faculties; the five attachments are through passion, hatred,
delusion, conceit and views.
