Dhammapada · 25.11

Pañca chinde pañca jahe, pañca cuttari bhāvaye;Pañca saṅgātigo bhikkhu, oghatiṇṇoti vuccati.

Panca chinde panca jahe, panca cuttari bhavaye; Panca sangatigo bhikkhu, oghatinnoti vuccati.

Cut off the five lower fetters, abandon the five higher fetters, cultivate the five faculties further. The bhikkhu who transcends five attachments is called a 'flood-crosser.'
