The Buddha teaches Venerable Rādha on the five aggregates regarding liable to end, guiding him toward insight, dispassion, and liberation.
Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
“‘khayadhammo, khayadhammo’ti, bhante, vuccati. Katamo nu kho, bhante, khayadhammo”ti?
“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, khayadhammo, vedanā khayadhammo, saññā khayadhammo, saṅkhārā khayadhammo, viññāṇaṁ khayadhammo.
Evaṁ passaṁ …pe… nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
Navamaṁ.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
At Sāvatthī.
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:
“‘khayadhammo, khayadhammo’ti, bhante, vuccati.
“Sir, they speak of a ‘liability to end’.
Katamo nu kho, bhante, khayadhammo”ti?
What has a liability to end?”
“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, khayadhammo, vedanā khayadhammo, saññā khayadhammo, saṅkhārā khayadhammo, viññāṇaṁ khayadhammo.
“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness have a liability to end.
Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…
Seeing this …
nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
Navamaṁ.
