Craving for sensual pleasures, craving for existence, and craving for nonexistence. Kāmataṇhā, bhavataṇhā, vibhavataṇhā—These are the three cravings you should give up. imā tisso taṇhā pahātabbā. What three conceits should you give up? Katame tayo mānā pahātabbā? Conceit, inferiority complex, and superiority complex. Māno, omāno, atimāno—These are the three conceits you should give up. ime tayo mānā pahātabbā. When a mendicant has given up these three cravings and these three conceits Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno imā tisso taṇhā pahīnā honti, ime ca tayo mānā; they’re called a mendicant who has cut off craving, cast off the fetters, and by rightly comprehending conceit has made an end of suffering.” ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, bhikkhu acchecchi taṇhaṁ, vivattayi saṁyojanaṁ, sammā mānābhisamayā antamakāsi dukkhassā”ti.
