Le nivarana n'est pas le nirvana, bien au contraire. Le poème donne une interprétation libre des 5 conditions empêchant d'accéder au chemin qui mêne vers la paix intérieure (nirvana) Voici une des définitions du niravana donnée par la tradition du bouddhisme Theravada : Nīvarana (“hindrances”) are 5 qualities which are obstacles to the mind and blind our mental vision. In the presence of them we cannot reach neighbourhood-concentration (upacāra-samādhi) and full concentration (appanā-samādhi), and are unable to discern clearly the truth. They are: sensuous desire (kāmacchanda), ill-will (vyāpāda), sloth and torpor (thīna-middha), restlessness and scruples (uddhacca-kukkucca), and skeptical doubt (vicikicchā). (...) the stereotype sutta text (e g. A.IX.40) runs as follows: "He has cast away sensuous desire; he dwells with a heart free from sensuous desire; from desire he cleanses his heart. "He has cast away ill-will; he dwells with a heart free from ill-will, cherishing love and compassion toward all living beings, he cleanses his heart from ill-will. "He has cast away sloth and torpor; he dwells free from sloth and torpor; loving the light, with watchful mind, with clear consciousness, he cleanses his mind from sloth and torpor. "He has cast away restlessness and scruples; dwelling with mind undisturbed, with heart full of peace, he cleanses his mind from restlessness and scruples. "He has cast away skeptical doubt; dwelling free from doubt, full of confidence in the good, he cleanses his heart from doubt. source : https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/nivarana
