“Mendicants, there are these three searches. “Tisso imā, bhikkhave, esanā. What three? Katamā tisso? The search for sensual pleasures, the search for continued existence, and the search for a spiritual path. …” Kāmesanā, bhavesanā, brahmacariyesanā”ti vitthāretabbaṁ.

Esanāvaggo dvādasamo.

Tassuddānaṁ

Esanā vidhā āsavo, Bhavo ca dukkhatā tisso; Khilaṁ malañca nīgho ca, Vedanā taṇhā tasināya cāti.
