### [1.164](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1.164)

釜者喻染心，水踊躍者喻染心中貪、嗔、癡三毒煩惱踊躍也。以布覆上者，喻凡夫被五蓋蒙翳，終不得見道也。五蓋，謂一貪欲、二嗔恚、三癡、四掉舉惡作、五昏沈睡眠，俱為蓋覆也。

> The cauldron is an analogy for the defiled mind; the boiling water is an analogy for the afflictions of the three poisons—sensory desire, ill will, and delusion—boiling up within the defiled mind. Covering the top with a cloth is an analogy for ordinary beings being obscured and blinded by the five hindrances, so that in the end they cannot see the Way. The five hindrances refer to: first, sensory desire; second, ill will; third, delusion; fourth, restlessness and remorse; and fifth, sloth and torpor. All of these cover and obscure.
