1 “Just as, O Bhikkhus, in the autumn, when the sky is clear and cloudless, the sun, rising in the sky, dispels all darkness from space as it shines, radiates and illuminates. So too, when the dust-free, stainless Dhamma-eye arises in the noble disciple, then, together with the arising of vision, the noble disciple abandons three fetters: self-affirmation view, doubt, and strong hold on virtue and religious duties.

2 Afterwards, when he departs from two dhammas, longing and ill-will, then, quite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unwholesome dhammas, he enters upon and abides in the happiness and pleasure born of seclusion connected with thinking and pondering, the first jhana. If, O Bhikkhus, that noble disciple should pass away on that occasion, there is no fetter bound by which he might return to this world.”
