A Waning Thing

[43.1][pts][bodh] I Hear Tell:

Once upon a time, The Lucky man,
Sāvatthi-town revisiting,
Jeta Grove,
Anathapiṇḍika's Park.

Then one time there the Ancient Rādha drew near Bhagava,
gave salutation,
and took a seat to one side.

At that time, so seated,
Bhagava said this to the Ancient Rādha:

"For that which is a waning thing, Rādha
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust.

And what, Rādha, is a waning thing?

Form Rādha, is a waning thing, for that
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust.

Sense experience Rādha, is a waning thing, for that
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust.

Perception Rādha, is a waning thing, for that
you should give up desire,

you should give up desire and lust.

Own-making Rādha, is a waning thing, for that
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust.

Consciousness Rādha, is a waning thing, for that
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust.

"For that which is a waning thing, Rādha
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust."
