"Desire is your first army; / sorrow and grief are the second;
hunger and thirst are the third; / craving for contact is the fourth;
sleep is the fifth army; / fear is the sixth;
doubt and remorse are the seventh; / anger and wrath are the eighth;
gain and empty fame are the ninth; / arrogance and despising others are the tenth.
Armies such as these / overwhelm and drown those who have gone forth.
With the power of dhyāna and wisdom, / I will crush these armies of yours;
having achieved the Buddha Path, / I shall deliver all people."
