When Venerable Rādha was seated to one side, the Buddha said to him:
“rūpe kho, rādha, yo chando yo rāgo yā nandī yā taṇhā, taṁ pajahatha.

Evaṁ taṁ rūpaṁ pahīnaṁ bhavissati ucchinnamūlaṁ tālāvatthukataṁ anabhāvaṅkataṁ āyatiṁ anuppādadhammaṁ.
Thus that form will be given up, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, and unable to arise in the future.
