67. Moneyyasuttam (Saintliness Types)

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

“Monks, there are these three forms of saintliness. Which three? Bodily saintliness, verbal saintliness, mental saintliness. These are the three forms of saintliness.”

A saint in body, a saint in speech, a saint in mind, asava(want/desire)-free: a saint full of saintliness is said to be bathed off evil.
