Theragāthā 1.98 Ekakanipāta Dasamavagga Abhayattheragāthā “Rūpaṁ disvā sati muṭṭhā, Piyaṁ nimittaṁ manasikaroto; Sārattacitto vedeti, Tañca ajjhosa tiṭṭhati; Tassa vaḍḍhanti āsavā, Bhavamūlopagāmino”ti. …

Upon seeing a form, mindfulness is lost,

Contemplating the beloved sign;

With an infatuated mind, one feels,

And clings to it persistently.

For him, the taints increase,

Leading to the root of becoming.

Abhayo thero ….

Thus spoke Elder Abhaya.
