Set in Śrāvastī. Standing to one side, that deity spoke this verse in the presence of the Bhagavān:

“कति छिन्द्यात् कति जह्यात्, कत्युत्तरञ्च भावयेत्।
कति सङ्गातिगो भिक्षुः, ओघतीर्ण इत्युच्यते?” इति।
“kati chindyāt kati jahyāt, katy uttaraṃ ca bhāvayet.
kati saṅgātigo bhikṣuḥ, oghatīrṇa ity ucyate?” iti.
“How many should one cut off? How many should one abandon?
How many further should one cultivate?
A monk who has gone beyond how many attachments
is called ‘one who has crossed the flood’?”

“पञ्च छिन्द्यात् पञ्च जह्यात्, पञ्चोत्तरञ्च भावयेत्।
पञ्च सङ्गातिगो भिक्षुः, ओघतीर्ण इत्युच्यते” इति।
“pañca chindyāt pañca jahyāt, pañcottaraṃ ca bhāvayet.
pañca saṅgātigo bhikṣuḥ, oghatīrṇa ity ucyate” iti.
“One should cut off five, one should abandon five,
and one should further cultivate five.
A monk who has gone beyond five attachments
is called ‘one who has crossed the flood’.”
