Sensual passions are your first army. Your second is called discontent. Your third is hunger & thirst. Your fourth is called craving. Fifth is sloth & drowsiness. Sixth is called terror. Your seventh is uncertainty. Hypocrisy & stubbornness, your eighth. Gains, offerings, fame, & status wrongly gained, and whoever would praise self & disparage others. That, namuci, is your enemy, the dark one's commando force. A coward can't defeat it, but one having defeated it gains bliss.
