8.5

"‘Desire is your first army, sorrow is the second,
/ Hunger and thirst are the third army, craving is the fourth,
/ The fifth is the army of sleep, fear is the sixth,
/ Doubt is the seventh army, venomous malice is the eighth,
/ The ninth is the army of gain and offerings, attached to false and deceptive fame,
/ The tenth army is self-exaltation, disparaging renunciants.
/ Among all devas and worldly people, none can break them.
/ By the power of wisdom, I subdue your armies;
/ Though you do not wish to let go, I will reach where you cannot go.’"
