Vanaṃ chindatha mā rukkhaṃ,
vanato jāyate bhayaṃ;
Chetvā vanañca vanathañca,
nibbanā hotha bhikkhavo.
Cut down the whole forest (of lust), not a tree only! Danger comes out of the forest (of lust). When you have cut down both the forest (of lust) and its undergrowth, then, Bhikshus, you will be rid of the forest and free!
[278. See v. 203.
