How many factors are awake while other factors are asleep?
By how many factors is the dust of defilements absorbed?
By how many factors is complete purity attained?'

(The Bhagava said:)

Five factors are asleep¹while other factors are awake. Five factors are awake²while other factors are asleep. By five factors³is the dust of defilements absorbed. By five factors⁴is complete purity attained."
