Sā ve taṇhā yo amoho, pañca dhā viddha buddhinā; Rāgañca dosañca pahāya, mohaṁ tīraṇakovidoti.

Sā ve taṇhā yo amoho, pañca dhā viddha buddhinā; rāgañca dosañca pahāya, mohaṁ tīraṇakovidoti.

That thirst is cut in five directions by wisdom; abandoning passion and hatred, having crossed illusion, one is expert in crossing.

Pañca dhā viddha — cut in five. The five seats of thirst are: form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and thought. Thirst is not in the objects, it is in the senses.

Rāgañca dosañca pahāya — abandoning passion and hatred. Both are sides of the same coin: wanting something to be and wanting something not to be.
