Aṅguttara Nikāya - The Numerical Discourses

4: The Book of the Fours

150. Cores

1"Bhikkhus, there are these four cores. What four? The core of virtuous behavior, the core of concentration, the core of wisdom, and the core of liberation. These are the four cores."

1"Cattārome, bhikkhave, sārā. Katame cattāro? Sīlasāro, samādhisāro, paññāsāro, vimuttisāro – ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro sārā"ti.


Dasamaṁ.
Ābhāvaggo pañcamo.

2Ābhā pabhā ca ālokā,
obhāsā ceva pajjotā;
Dve kālā caritā dve ca,
honti sārena te dasāti.

Tatiyo paṇṇāsako samatto.
