This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Tayome, bhikkhave, akusalavitakkā andhakaraṇā acakkhukaraṇā aññāṇakaraṇā paññānirodhikā vighātapakkhikā anibbānasaṁvattanikā.Katame tayo?
“There are these three unwholesome thoughts which are blinding, which produce lack of vision, which cause ignorance, obstruct wisdom, which are troublesome and not conducive to Nibbāna. Which three?
Kāmavitakko, bhikkhave, andhakaraṇo acakkhukaraṇo aññāṇakaraṇo paññānirodhiko vighātapakkhiko anibbānasaṁvattaniko.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo akusalavitakkā andhakaraṇā acakkhukaraṇā aññāṇakaraṇā paññānirodhikā vighātapakkhikā anibbānasaṁvattanikā.
1.) Thought of sensuality is blinding, produces lack of vision, causes ignorance, obstructs wisdom, is troublesome and not conducive to Nibbāna. 2.) Thought of ill will is blinding, produces lack of vision, causes ignorance, obstructs wisdom, is troublesome and not conducive to Nibbāna. 3.) Thought of harming is blinding, produces lack of vision, causes ignorance, obstructs wisdom, is troublesome and not conducive to Nibbāna. These are the three unwholesome thoughts, which are blinding, produce lack of vision, cause ignorance, obstruct wisdom, which are troublesome and not conducive to Nibbāna.
Tayome, bhikkhave, kusalavitakkā anandhakaraṇā cakkhukaraṇā ñāṇakaraṇā paññāvuddhikā avighātapakkhikā nibbānasaṁvattanikā. Katame tayo?
There are these three wholesome thoughts, which give sight, which produce vision, create insight, grow wisdom, which are trouble-free and conducive to Nibbāna. Which three?
Nekkhammavitakko, bhikkhave, anandhakaraṇo cakkhukaraṇo ñāṇakaraṇo paññāvuddhiko avighātapakkhiko nibbānasaṁvattaniko. Abyāpādavitakko, bhikkhave, anandhakaraṇo cakkhukaraṇo ñāṇakaraṇo paññāvuddhiko avighātapakkhiko nibbānasaṁvattaniko.

1.) Thought of renunciation gives sight, produces vision and creates insight, grows wisdom, is trouble-free and conducive to Nibbāna. 2.) Thought of good will gives sight, produces vision and creates insight, grows wisdom, is trouble-free and conducive to Nibbāna. 3.) Thought of harmlessness gives sight, produces vision and creates insight, grows wisdom, is trouble-free and conducive to Nibbāna. These are the three wholesome thoughts which give sight, produce vision and create insight, grow wisdom, which are trouble-free and conducive to Nibbāna.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Tayo vitakke kusale vitakkaye,
Tayo pana akusale nirākare;
Sa ve vitakkāni vicāritāni,
Sameti vuṭṭhīva rajaṁ samūhataṁ;
Sa ve vitakkūpasamena cetasā,
Idheva so santipadaṁ samajjhagā”ti.
“He thinks about the three wholesome thoughts,
but spurns the three unwholesome ones;
he considers and examines the thoughts and settles them,
just as a rainfall settles and clears away dust;
with a mind made peaceful through the calming of thoughts,
right here, he attains the state of peace.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
