### [v2.c31.2004](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.2004)

Mahārukkha Sutta.—In him who contemplates enjoyment in things which make for grasping (upādāna), craving grows with its consequent round of suffering, like juice which travels upwards from the roots of a tree. If he contemplates the misery of such things, craving ceases, like the growth of a tree which is cut in pieces and burnt to ashes.¹
