3.18

Craving is the mother and ignorance is the father: that is, the present craving within the twelve links of dependent origination receives rebirth anew, accompanied by future greed and delight, both of which have the meaning of giving birth; like a mother raising and nurturing, being established means being born. Due to ignorance and craving, the hamlets of the six sense faculties and twelve sense fields are produced. If one severs these roots of craving and ignorance, this is the meaning of 'slaying parents.'
