Āsivisa Sutta.—Preached at Sāvatthi. Man has to tend four snakes of fierce heat and fearful venom—the four \*mahābhūtas\*; he is constantly followed by five murderous foes—the five \*upādānakkhandhā\*; he is pursued by a murderous housebreaker with uplifted sword—passionate desire (\*nandirāga\*); while trying to escape them, he wanders into an empty village, where everything is empty—the sixfold personal sense sphere (\*ajjhattikāyatana\*), and into it come village-plunderers—the sixfold external sense-spheres (\*bāhirāyatana\*.) Fleeing from there he comes to a broad sheet of water beset with danger on the hither side; the further side is secure from fear, but there is no boat and no bridge—the fivefold flood (\*ogha\*), the hither shore being \*sakkāya\* and the further shore \*nibbāna\*.¹ - [Previous: v1.c7.892](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7.892) - [Next: v1.c7.894](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7.894) - [Up: v1.c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7.893](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7.893) · Pramāṇa
