貪恚何因緣 由何故欣慼
毛竪意尋思 如孩依乳母 

潤所生自生 如諾瞿陀樹
別縛於諸欲 猶摩迦處林
是貪恚因緣 由斯故欣慼
毛竪意尋思 如孩依乳母
知彼彼因緣 生已尋除滅
超昔未超海 暴流無後有 （雜阿含1314經） 

Where do greed and hate come from? From where do discontent, desire, and terror spring? 

Where do the mind’s thoughts originate, like a crow let loose by boys. Greed and hate come from here; from here spring discontent, desire, and terror; here’s where the mind’s thoughts originate, like a crow let loose by boys. Born of affection, originating in oneself, like the shoots from a banyan’s trunk; the many kinds of attachment to sensual pleasures are like camel’s foot creeper strung through the woods. Those who understand where they come from get rid of them—listen up, spirit! They cross this flood so hard to cross, not crossed before, so as to not be reborn. （SN. 10.3） 

「如孩依乳母」一句，英譯竟然是like a crow let loose by boys。囡仔放烏鴉會若像「意尋思」？釋文講，意尋思是所有尋思，如欲尋思乃至家世相應尋思等等。但是並無解釋「如孩依乳母」一句。毋管如何，問題應該是欲知曉貪恚、欣慼、尋思是因何而來、依何而來。 

人嗌各種情緒是按怎來？是按怎有種種想法？佛陀在本伽他欲做解答。一種是「潤生」，一種是「自生」。潤是愛水，由此為緣，能生諸取，所有嗌貪恚以及想法，皆用此為共緣。自者，是貪、恚等為先，尋思為後，各各有伊產生差別。諾瞿陀樹應該是松仔（榕樹）。潤生、自生嗌貪恚和想法就若像松仔。貪恚乃至尋思，別縛諸欲，若像摩魯迦條（藤蔓）纏繞林樹。用此為緣，發生歡欣憂慼以及毛竪（恐懼）嗌情緒。 

了知自己嗌情緒和想法到底是按怎來嗌，又能了知眾緣生法之無常性（生已尋除滅一句），隨在其情緒以及想法所生，不起貪著，馬上棄捨、變吐、斷滅。因為離貪，度過第九、第十伽他所講嗌暴流以及大海。昔所未度，今既度已，終無有退。
