597-608“诸比丘，譬如恒河向东方低斜、向东方倾注、向东方奔流；同样地，诸比丘，修习并多修习五根的比丘，也向涅槃低斜、向涅槃倾注、向涅槃奔流。诸比丘，比丘怎样修习五根、多修习五根，便会向涅槃低斜、向涅槃倾注、向涅槃奔流呢？诸比丘，在此，比丘修习信根，以离贪为终极，以离嗔为终极，以离痴为终极……修习慧根，以离贪为终极，以离嗔为终极，以离痴为终极。诸比丘，比丘如是修习五根、多修习五根，便向涅槃低斜、向涅槃倾注、向涅槃奔流。”第十二。

恒河略说品第十三
其摄颂：
Tassuddānaṃ –
六者向东低斜，六者向海低斜；
此二六合为十二，此品因此而得名。
Cha pācīnato ninnā, cha ninnā ca samuddato; Dvete cha dvādasa honti, vaggo tena pavuccatīti.
应如不放逸品、力所作品、寻求品那样详细展开。
