1.2“Pañcime, bhikkhave, upādānakkhandhā.“Mendicants, there are these five grasping aggregates.1.3Katame pañca?What five?1.4Seyyathidaṁ—rūpupādānakkhandho …pe… viññāṇupādānakkhandho.That is, the grasping aggregates of form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness.1.5Yato kho, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako imesaṁ pañcannaṁ upādānakkhandhānaṁ samudayañca atthaṅgamañca assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti.A noble disciple comes to truly understand these five grasping aggregates’ origin, disappearance, gratification, drawback, and escape.1.6Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako sotāpanno avinipātadhammo niyato sambodhiparāyano”ti.Such a noble disciple is called a stream-enterer, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, assured, destined for awakening.”
