310. Paramartha enumerates the four results, srotadpannaphala, etc. , and quotes the Sutra.
311. Purusakaraphala is that which arises {jayate) and also that which is attained (prdpyate) through the special power of a dharma: the path of deliverance arises from srdmanya, and abandoning or pratisamkhydnirodha is attained by the power of iramanya.
312. As one can supplement the work (pravacana) of Panini, as omniscient as he is, he is a Prthagjana.
313. When the ascetic obtains the result of Srotaapanna, there is acquisition of the total abandoning of the defilements to be abandoned through the Seeing of the Truths (darfanaheyaklefas), acquisition inherent {samgrhita) in a single path of meditation (ekabhdvandmdrga), namely in the sixteenth moment; when the ascetic obtains the fruit of Sakrdagamin, there is acquisition of the totality of the abandoning of the darianaheyas and of the abandoning of the first six categories of defilements to be abandoned through meditation, acquisition inherent to the path which is the fruit of Sakrdagamin; and so on.
314. When an ordinary person {prthagjana), bound by all the bonds (sakalabandhana), enters the Path of Seeing the Truths and becomes Srotaapanna through the abandoning of the defilements which one abandons by this Path, he can then either expell the first six categories of defilements of Kamadhatu through the Path of Meditation on the Truths (pure path): he obtains the result of Sakrdagamin through the pure or transworldly path,--or expell the same six categories through the worldly path of meditation (as described vi. 49c): he obtains the same result through the worldly path. But an ordinary person can become free from the same six categories of defilements through the worldly path before entering into the Path of Seeing: when he achieves this Path, he acquires the
result of Sakrdagamin. The result results from the worldly path.

Sarhghabhadra (TD 29, p. 934c8): The divinities do not say: "the Wheel of the Law has been set into motion," under the Bodhi tree, but rather in Benares. Thus the setting into motion is to cause one to penetrate into another. Some say that teaching itself (the sermon at Benares) is the Wheel of the Law: but this teaching is only the means, not the true Wheel.

Pure prajnd --is called eye, because its object is immediately perceived: knowledge (jndna), because it is free from doubt (vii. l); science, because its object is real; intelligence, because it is pure: in fact the etymology of buddhir is visuddhd dhi, "pure mind. " Furthermore, the view that the non-Buddhists have of the Truths (suffering, etc. ) is not opposed either to bad opinions, nor doubt, nor ignorance, and it is impure (cdsrava): in order to show the contrast with the seeing that the saints have of the Truths, this seeing is called eye, etc Furthermore, the Sutra says "eye" in order to avoid the idea that it refers to a consciousness arrived at through induction; "knowledge," because it does not refer to a knowledge arrived at through imagination (compare ii. English trans, p. 320; vi. 9); "science," because it does not refer to a supposed knowledge; "intelligence," because it does not refer to an impure knowledge.
? According to the Vibhdsd, Jnana is the dhannajfidna, vidyd, is the anvayaksanti, buddhi is the anvayajriana (vi. 25-26). Another theory is presented in Kofa, vii. 7.

(An extract from the Seventh Chapter. )
331. According to the Japanese editor, the opinion of Vasubandhu.
Nydydnusara, TD 29, p. 709a28: The opinion of the masters of the Vibhdsd
(Vaibhasikas) is, in general, that the whole of the holy path (drya mdrga) is called the Dharmacakra . . . but there are some divergent opinions: according to some, it is the Path of Seeing that is called Dharmacakra; according to others, it is the sermon at Benares. Notes of the Japanese editor: According to the commentaries, the first opinion is now the third, the second is that presented in the Karika; and the third is now the second. According to Samghabhadra, the third is the basic opinion of the Sarvastivadins . . . P'u-kuang says that the second and the third are those of the Sautrantikas and of Vasubandhu.

334. This person is detached from Kamadhatu through the worldly path, as for example Brahma; he should cultivate the Path of Seeing in order to obtain the result of Anagamin. For the Aryan the fact that he is reborn into Rupadhatu proves that he is already an Anagamin.
335. Since one does not become a Buddha or a Pratvekabuddha in this sphere, the only bodhi that one can obtain there is the bodhi of the 3ravakas; now a Sravaka only obtains comprehension of the truths (abhisamaya) due to the words of another, parato ghosa.
336. The principle presented in viii. 29a-b opposes the teaching that there is a dar/anamdrga in Arupyadhatu.

342. Different meanings of samaya, Samantapdsddikd, i. 107.
343- What does gotray or family, mean? (1) The gotra is the roots of good (kusalamula): certain persons have such roots of good that they are parihdnadharman, etc. ; (2) gotra consists of the characteristics of the faculties, more or less sharp, from the stage of Prthagjana onward; (3) the Sautrantikas say that gotra is the seed, the power (sdmarthya) of the mind. The Prthagjana and the &aiksa are "of the family of the parihdnadharman" when they bear the seed of the parihdnadharman Arhat; the Asaiksa or Arhat is a parihdnadhar- man because this seed is actualized in their result (tadbijavrttildbhdt).
344. Uttdpana, uttdpand = uttaptikarana, vi. l8b, synonym samcdra, transposition, vi. 41c-d.
345. Consequently vi. 57b should be understood as follows: The person who, by his nature, is of sharp faculties, becomes a drstiprdpta in the sixteenth moment (this is the case seen previously vi. 57b). But the person who, having already become a Saiksa, and perfects his faculties, obtains the quality of drstiprdpta after having a been sraddhddhimukta.
346. Arhats 2-5 are also susceptible of falling away; Arhat number 1 is characterized by the absence of the qualities of Arhats 2-5.
In this same way Arhats 3-5 are cetanddharman and soon.
347. Cetanddharman - mdranadharman: dtmdnam cetayate, below notes 350 and 367. Paramartha: "to kill-harm his body" (sha-hai tzu shen g? |f g # ) or "to kill oneself (tzu-hai g f l ).
The explanation of the Puggalapannatii, p. 12, differs.
348. Hsiian-tsang: The parihdnadharman, meeting weak causes of falling, falls away from that which he has acquired; but not the cetandddharman. The cetanddharman, fearing falling away, always thinks of putting an end to his existence. The anuraksanddharman guards that which he has acquired. Dtgha, iii. 226, on the anurakkhandpadhdna.

Anguttara, iii. 173 (compare Kathdvatthu, i. 2, trans, p. 64) has two lists of five dharmas: pancime dhammd samayavimuttassa bhikkhuno parihdndya samvattanti: kammdrdmatd, bhassdramatd, nidddrdmatd, sanghanikdrdmatd, yathdvimuttam cittam na paccavekkhati.

353. On the falling away of the Arhat and the problems connected with it, Ang. , i. 96, iii. 173, Kathdvatthu, i. 2, ii. 2, etc. ; Points of Controversy, p. xliii; our note: The five points of Mahadeva, JRAS. , 1910, p. 413. According to Buddhaghosa, the Sammitlyas, Vajjiputtiyas, Sabbatthivadins and some of the Mahasamghikas admit the falling away of an Arhat. Vasumitra, in Wassilief, p. 262,263,282: the Mahasamghikas admit the falling away (parihdnadharman) of a Srotaapanna, but deny the falling away of an Arhat; 272; the Sarvastivadins deny the falling away of a Srotaapanna, but admit the falling away of an Arhat. Confirmed by the Chinese sources: Sarvastivadins: No falling away from the first result; falling away from the other three. Mahasamghikas, Mahl? asaka, etc. : No falling away from the quality of Arhat; falling away from the first three results. Sautrantika, Mahayana: No falling away from the results; falling away from the drstadharmasukhavihdras. Opinion of the Vibhajyavadins, Vibhasa, TD 27, p. 312b9, below note 374.
354. An anonymous objection {atra has rid aha): (1) A cetanddharman, the cetanddharman family which has been made firm by the saiksa and asaiksa paths, can perfect his faculties, and so acquire a new gotra: therefore he falls away from his gotra. The reason given by Vasubandhu does not hold. (2) If one does not fall away from a family which has been rendered firm by the worldly and transworldly paths, one will fall away from the result of Srotaapanna, which is never rendered firm by the two paths. Response of Yasomitra. (1) Vasubandhu means to say that the cetanddharman, falling away from the result of Arhat, will not merely because of this fall away from his gotra if this has been made firm by the Saiksa and ASaiksa paths. (2) The second remark is made with respect to a person who does not reflect: here it refers to his family (gotra), not to his result. In fact, no result is at one and the same time (yugapad) obtained by a worldly and a transworldly path; but the family can be made firm by these two paths.
355. One does not fall away from the result of Srotaapanna, because, when one obtains this result, it is always the first result that he obtains. One can fall away from the result of Sakrdagamin when one obtains this result after having obtained that of Srotaapanna; but not when one becomes a Sakrdagamin without passing through the stage of Srotaapanna (the case of the bhuyovitardga, ii. l6c, vi. 30b, 45b); the same for the result of Anagamin.
356. Vibhasa, TD 29, p. 3l6b28. Why can one fall from the three higher results, and not from the result of Srotaapanna? Because the defilements abandoned through seeing are produced with respect to non-existence (avastu); one does not fall away from the abandoning of these, defilements. How can one say that they are produced with respect to non-existence? . . . Furthermore the result of Srotaapanna is established by the abandoning of the defilements ahandoned by the view of the truths in their totality, bearing on the three spheres.
357. smrtisampramosdt - klispasmrtiyogdt (see ii. English trans, p. 190,194).
358. There is no falling away from the anasrava result; with respect to the first five Arhats,
there is falling away from the "blisses of this world," which are sdsrava.
359. According to the Japanese gloss, Madhyamdgama, TD 1, p. 574cl9? , which according to Anesaki is Samyutta ii. 50 (Kaldrasutta). The first and the last result can only be obtained by the pure path (-aryaprajn~d)> vi. 45c.

362. Kos'a, ii. 4 (English trans, p. 157), vi. 42c-d, viii. 27.
Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 137a10. Because they reside (viharanti) in the four types of bliss, they
are said to have obtained four dfstadharmasukhavihdras: 1. pravravydsukha, 2. vivekasukha (yuan-li lo j? My& )>> 3. samathasukha {chi-ching lo Wt&^k )> and 4. bodhisukha.
But this refers to the Dhyanas in general.
Samyutta, ii. 278, Anguttara, iii. 131, v,10, Digha, iii. 113,222: eso kho bhikkhave bhikkhu catunnam jhdndnam abhicetasikdnam dipthadhammasukhavihdrdnam nikdmaldbhi; Anguttara, iv. 362: arahanto . . . ditthadhammasukhavihdram yeva anuyutta.
The four blisses are ddhicaitasika {-adhi cetasi bhava), that is to say they belong to the sphere of the four basic Dhyanas. Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 418a2: The four types of ddhicaitasika are the Four Dhyanas.
The Bodhisattvabhumi distinguishes the brahmavihdras (=apramdna, Kosa, viii. 29), and the dryavihdras (-vimoksamukha, viii. 24), and the divyavihdras {-dhyanas and drUpyas).
363. Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 3l6a4. The Sutra says: "Ananda, of the four blisses (ddhicaitasika dfstadharmasukhavihara) acquired by the Tathagata, I say that there is a successive (chan-ch'uan JUtt i )fallingaway,asinthecaseoftheSravakaontheoccasionof worldly encounters. As for the immovable deliverance of the mind (described as above: kdyena sdksdt krtd. . . ) , I say that there is no falling away. " It follows from this text that, even in the case of the Buddha, there is a falling away from "fruition" (upabhoga, Kola, vi. 59) The Sautrantikas conclude from this text that dear and occasional deliverance (samayiki kdnta vimuktt) is the four blisses. Question: By falling away, does the Sutra understand the falling away from that which is acquired, or the falling away from a resultant state? In the first hypothesis, there would be no falling away from the blisses, for these are dharmas that one continues to possess (prdpti) even when one does not enjoy them; in the second hypothesis, there would be falling away from immovable deliverance, for this deliverance is not always present (sammukhibhuta). . . Response: With respect to deliverance, the essential thing is possession: for, when one possesses deliverance, one no longer has anything more to obtain; therefore, even though it is always present, one says that the saint does not fall away from it. With respect to the blisses, the essential thing is their presence; one says then that the saint has fallen away from them when he is not enjoying them. Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 417c21 and following: When one of the sukhavihdras is present, one says that the others have fallen away.

When the ascetic obtains the result of Srotaapanna, there is acquisition of the total abandoning of the defilements to be abandoned through the Seeing of the Truths (darfanaheyaklefas), acquisition inherent {samgrhita) in a single path of meditation (ekabhdvandmdrga), namely in the sixteenth moment; when the ascetic obtains the fruit of Sakrdagamin, there is acquisition of the totality of the abandoning of the darianaheyas and of the abandoning of the first six categories of defilements to be abandoned through meditation, acquisition inherent to the path which is the fruit of Sakrdagamin; and so on.
314. When an ordinary person {prthagjana), bound by all the bonds (sakalabandhana), enters the Path of Seeing the Truths and becomes Srotaapanna through the abandoning of the defilements which one abandons by this Path, he can then either expell the first six categories of defilements of Kamadhatu through the Path of Meditation on the Truths (pure path): he obtains the result of Sakrdagamin through the pure or transworldly path,--or expell the same six categories through the worldly path of meditation (as described vi. 49c): he obtains the same result through the worldly path. But an ordinary person can become free from the same six categories of defilements through the worldly path before entering into the Path of Seeing: when he achieves this Path, he acquires the
result of Sakrdagamin. The result results from the worldly path.

Some say that teaching itself (the sermon at Benares) is the Wheel of the Law: but this teaching is only the means, not the true Wheel.

Pure prajnd --is called eye, because its object is immediately perceived: knowledge (jndna), because it is free from doubt (vii. l); science, because its object is real; intelligence, because it is pure: in fact the etymology of buddhir is visuddhd dhi, "pure mind. " Furthermore, the view that the non-Buddhists have of the Truths (suffering, etc. ) is not opposed either to bad opinions, nor doubt, nor ignorance, and it is impure (cdsrava): in order to show the contrast with the seeing that the saints have of the Truths, this seeing is called eye, etc Furthermore, the Sutra says "eye" in order to avoid the idea that it refers to a consciousness arrived at through induction; "knowledge," because it does not refer to a knowledge arrived at through imagination (compare ii. English trans, p. 320; vi. 9); "science," because it does not refer to a supposed knowledge; "intelligence," because it does not refer to an impure knowledge.

331. According to the Japanese editor, the opinion of Vasubandhu.
Nydydnusara, TD 29, p. 709a28: The opinion of the masters of the Vibhdsd
(Vaibhasikas) is, in general, that the whole of the holy path (drya mdrga) is called the Dharmacakra . . . but there are some divergent opinions: according to some, it is the Path of Seeing that is called Dharmacakra; according to others, it is the sermon at Benares. Notes of the Japanese editor: According to the commentaries, the first opinion is now the third, the second is that presented in the Karika; and the third is now the second. According to Samghabhadra, the third is the basic opinion of the Sarvastivadins . . . P'u-kuang says that the second and the third are those of the Sautrantikas and of Vasubandhu.

335. Since one does not become a Buddha or a Pratvekabuddha in this sphere, the only bodhi that one can obtain there is the bodhi of the 3ravakas; now a Sravaka only obtains comprehension of the truths (abhisamaya) due to the words of another, parato ghosa.

342. Different meanings of samaya, Samantapdsddikd, i. 107.
343- What does gotray or family, mean? (1) The gotra is the roots of good (kusalamula): certain persons have such roots of good that they are parihdnadharman, etc. ; (2) gotra consists of the characteristics of the faculties, more or less sharp, from the stage of Prthagjana onward; (3) the Sautrantikas say that gotra is the seed, the power (sdmarthya) of the mind. The Prthagjana and the &aiksa are "of the family of the parihdnadharman" when they bear the seed of the parihdnadharman Arhat; the Asaiksa or Arhat is a parihdnadhar- man because this seed is actualized in their result (tadbijavrttildbhdt).
344. Uttdpana, uttdpand = uttaptikarana, vi. l8b, synonym samcdra, transposition, vi. 41c-d.
345. Consequently vi. 57b should be understood as follows: The person who, by his nature, is of sharp faculties, becomes a drstiprdpta in the sixteenth moment (this is the case seen previously vi. 57b). But the person who, having already become a Saiksa, and perfects his faculties, obtains the quality of drstiprdpta after having a been sraddhddhimukta.
346. Arhats 2-5 are also susceptible of falling away; Arhat number 1 is characterized by the absence of the qualities of Arhats 2-5.
In this same way Arhats 3-5 are cetanddharman and soon.

The explanation of the Puggalapannatii, p. 12, differs.
348. Hsiian-tsang: The parihdnadharman, meeting weak causes of falling, falls away from that which he has acquired; but not the cetandddharman. The cetanddharman, fearing falling away, always thinks of putting an end to his existence. The anuraksanddharman guards that which he has acquired. Dtgha, iii. 226, on the anurakkhandpadhdna.

Anguttara, iii. 173 (compare Kathdvatthu, i. 2, trans, p. 64) has two lists of five dharmas: pancime dhammd samayavimuttassa bhikkhuno parihdndya samvattanti: kammdrdmatd, bhassdramatd, nidddrdmatd, sanghanikdrdmatd, yathdvimuttam cittam na paccavekkhati.

353. On the falling away of the Arhat and the problems connected with it, Ang. , i. 96, iii. 173, Kathdvatthu, i. 2, ii. 2, etc. ; Points of Controversy, p. xliii; our note: The five points of Mahadeva, JRAS. , 1910, p. 413. According to Buddhaghosa, the Sammitlyas, Vajjiputtiyas, Sabbatthivadins and some of the Mahasamghikas admit the falling away of an Arhat. Vasumitra, in Wassilief, p. 262,263,282: the Mahasamghikas admit the falling away (parihdnadharman) of a Srotaapanna, but deny the falling away of an Arhat; 272; the Sarvastivadins deny the falling away of a Srotaapanna, but admit the falling away of an Arhat. Confirmed by the Chinese sources: Sarvastivadins: No falling away from the first result; falling away from the other three. Mahasamghikas, Mahl? asaka, etc. : No falling away from the quality of Arhat; falling away from the first three results. Sautrantika, Mahayana: No falling away from the results; falling away from the drstadharmasukhavihdras. Opinion of the Vibhajyavadins, Vibhasa, TD 27, p. 312b9, below note 374.
354. An anonymous objection {atra has rid aha): (1) A cetanddharman, the cetanddharman family which has been made firm by the saiksa and asaiksa paths, can perfect his faculties, and so acquire a new gotra: therefore he falls away from his gotra. The reason given by Vasubandhu does not hold. (2) If one does not fall away from a family which has been rendered firm by the worldly and transworldly paths, one will fall away from the result of Srotaapanna, which is never rendered firm by the two paths. Response of Yasomitra. (1) Vasubandhu means to say that the cetanddharman, falling away from the result of Arhat, will not merely because of this fall away from his gotra if this has been made firm by the Saiksa and ASaiksa paths. (2) The second remark is made with respect to a person who does not reflect: here it refers to his family (gotra), not to his result. In fact, no result is at one and the same time (yugapad) obtained by a worldly and a transworldly path; but the family can be made firm by these two paths.
355. One does not fall away from the result of Srotaapanna, because, when one obtains this result, it is always the first result that he obtains. One can fall away from the result of Sakrdagamin when one obtains this result after having obtained that of Srotaapanna; but not when one becomes a Sakrdagamin without passing through the stage of Srotaapanna (the case of the bhuyovitardga, ii. l6c, vi. 30b, 45b); the same for the result of Anagamin.
356. Vibhasa, TD 29, p. 3l6b28. Why can one fall from the three higher results, and not from the result of Srotaapanna? Because the defilements abandoned through seeing are produced with respect to non-existence (avastu); one does not fall away from the abandoning of these, defilements. How can one say that they are produced with respect to non-existence? . . . Furthermore the result of Srotaapanna is established by the abandoning of the defilements ahandoned by the view of the truths in their totality, bearing on the three spheres.
357. smrtisampramosdt - klispasmrtiyogdt (see ii. English trans, p. 190,194).
358. There is no falling away from the anasrava result; with respect to the first five Arhats,
there is falling away from the "blisses of this world," which are sdsrava.
359. According to the Japanese gloss, Madhyamdgama, TD 1, p. 574cl9? , which according to Anesaki is Samyutta ii. 50 (Kaldrasutta). The first and the last result can only be obtained by the pure path (-aryaprajn~d)> vi. 45c.

Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 137a10. Because they reside (viharanti) in the four types of bliss, they
are said to have obtained four dfstadharmasukhavihdras: 1. pravravydsukha, 2. vivekasukha (yuan-li lo j? My& )>> 3. samathasukha {chi-ching lo Wt&^k )> and 4. bodhisukha.
But this refers to the Dhyanas in general.
Samyutta, ii. 278, Anguttara, iii. 131, v,10, Digha, iii. 113,222: eso kho bhikkhave bhikkhu catunnam jhdndnam abhicetasikdnam dipthadhammasukhavihdrdnam nikdmaldbhi; Anguttara, iv. 362: arahanto . . . ditthadhammasukhavihdram yeva anuyutta.
The four blisses are ddhicaitasika {-adhi cetasi bhava), that is to say they belong to the sphere of the four basic Dhyanas. Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 418a2: The four types of ddhicaitasika are the Four Dhyanas.
The Bodhisattvabhumi distinguishes the brahmavihdras (=apramdna, Kosa, viii. 29), and the dryavihdras (-vimoksamukha, viii. 24), and the divyavihdras {-dhyanas and drUpyas).
363. Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 3l6a4. The Sutra says: "Ananda, of the four blisses (ddhicaitasika dfstadharmasukhavihara) acquired by the Tathagata, I say that there is a successive (chan-ch'uan JUtt i )fallingaway,asinthecaseoftheSravakaontheoccasionof worldly encounters. As for the immovable deliverance of the mind (described as above: kdyena sdksdt krtd. . . ) , I say that there is no falling away. " It follows from this text that, even in the case of the Buddha, there is a falling away from "fruition" (upabhoga, Kola, vi. 59) The Sautrantikas conclude from this text that dear and occasional deliverance (samayiki kdnta vimuktt) is the four blisses. Question: By falling away, does the Sutra understand the falling away from that which is acquired, or the falling away from a resultant state? In the first hypothesis, there would be no falling away from the blisses, for these are dharmas that one continues to possess (prdpti) even when one does not enjoy them; in the second hypothesis, there would be falling away from immovable deliverance, for this deliverance is not always present (sammukhibhuta). . . Response: With respect to deliverance, the essential thing is possession: for, when one possesses deliverance, one no longer has anything more to obtain; therefore, even though it is always present, one says that the saint does not fall away from it. With respect to the blisses, the essential thing is their presence; one says then that the saint has fallen away from them when he is not enjoying them. Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 417c21 and following: When one of the sukhavihdras is present, one says that the others have fallen away.
