The author opens the subject with an enumeration of the five Klesas in II-3. The
English equivalents of the Samskrta words do not correctly and fully convey the ideas
implied and the English words which come nearest to the Samkrta names of the Klesas
have been given. The underlying significance of the five Klesas will be explained in
dealing with the subsequent Sutras.
