66. Soceyyasuttam (Purity)

This was said by the Lord Buddha(Bhagavata), said by the Arahant, so I have heard:

“Monks, there are these three kinds of purity. Which three? Bodily purity, verbal purity, mental purity. These are the three kinds of purities.”

Pure in body, pure in speech, pure in awareness(mind) —asava(want/desire)-free— one who is clean, consummate in cleanliness, is said to have abandoned the All.
