What are the sets of one, two, three, five and twelve things mentioned in the sutta below? What does it mean? From SN 1.44 (translated by Bhikkhu Sujato): > “One is the root, two are the whirlpools, three are the stains, five > the spreads, twelve the ocean’s whirlpools: such is the abyss crossed > over by the hermit.” From SN 1.44 (translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi): > “The seer has crossed over > the abyss > With its one root, two whirlpools, >Three stains, five extensions, > An ocean with twelve eddies.”
