Iti 57 · uttaka 57
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: “Monks, there are these three effluents. Which three? The effluent of sensuality, the effluent of becoming, the effluent of ignorance. These are the three effluents.”
His effluent of sensuality
ended,
his ignorance
faded away,
his effluent of becoming
exhausted:
one totally released, acquisition-free,
bears his last body,
having conquered Māra
along with his mount.
