1"Bhikkhus, for direct knowledge of lust, five things are to be developed. What five? The power of faith, the power of energy, the power of mindfulness, the power of concentration, and the power of wisdom. For direct knowledge of lust, these five things are to be developed."

1"Rāgassa, bhikkhave, abhiññāya pañca dhammā bhāvetabbā. Katame pañca? Saddhābalaṁ, vīriyabalaṁ, satibalaṁ, samādhibalaṁ, paññābalaṁ – rāgassa, bhikkhave, abhiññāya ime pañca dhammā bhāvetabbā"ti. (5)
