“There are things that tighten the fetters. When you concentrate on the gratification provided by these things, name and form are conceived. “Saṁyojaniyesu, bhikkhave, dhammesu assādānupassino viharato nāmarūpassa avakkanti hoti.

Suppose there was a great tree. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, mahārukkho. Then a person comes along with a spade and basket. … Atha puriso āgaccheyya kuddālapiṭakaṁ ādāya …pe… In this way the great tree is cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, and unable to arise in the future. āyatiṁ anuppādadhammo.
