§ 15.

This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: "Monks, I don't envision even one other fetter -- fettered by which beings conjoined go wandering & transmigrating on for a long, long time -- like the fetter of craving. Fettered with the fetter of craving, beings conjoined go wandering & transmigrating on for a long, long time."

With craving his companion, a man
wanders on a long, long time.
Neither in this state here
nor anywhere else
does he go beyond
the wandering-    on.
Knowing this drawback --
that craving brings stress into play --
free        from craving,
devoid        of clinging,
mindful,        the monk
    lives the mendicant life.
