We understand by this that, by realizing these Abhijnas, one does not take possession of the same future Abhifiuas.
142. The three Abhijnas are rddhi, purvenivdsa and cetahparydya.
143- An ascetic detaches himself from Kamadhatu by a worldly path which has for its support {samniirayena, that is to say "is cultivated in") anagamya (introductory stage of the First Dhyana) and, through this detachment, he obtains the First Dhyana; at the moment of the ninth vimuktimdrga of this detachment, he cultivates a samvrtijfidna of the sphere of the anagamya or of the sphere of the First Dhyana; and so on until: he detaches himself from dkincanydyatana through the worldly path practiced in the sdmantaka (preparatory) stage of naivasamjfidnasamjHdyatana, he obtains a samvrtijfidna of the sphere of the sdmantaka or of the sphere of the naivasamjndnasamjndyatana. Samvrtijfidna is cultivated under the same conditions when the ascetic detaches himself from Kamadhatu through the path cultivated in pure {andsrava) anagamya.
But if the ascetic obtains the first pure dhyana by practicing the pure path in the First Dhyana, the samvrtijfidna that he obtains is of the sphere of the sdmantaka of the Second Dhyana which is opposed to the first. . . to the ninth category of the defilements {kleias) of the First Dhyana--for this is the first time that this ascetic obtains the first pure dhyana. And, in the ninth vimuktimdrga of the path by which he obtains the first pure dhyana, he cultivates, in the future, a samvrtijfidna of the second dhyana {Vydkhyd).
144. An ascetic takes his support from the second pure dhyana and, in this manner, detaches himself in the Third Dhyana: the purejndna which is cultivated is of the sphere of the Path, that is to say of the Second Dhyana; it is moreover in the ninth vimuktimdrga of detachment, of the sphere in which he detaches himself, namely the Third Dhyana; it is also of a lower sphere, namely of the First Dhyana, of anagamya. For it happens that the preparatory path is of a lower sphere: the jndna of a lower sphere will therefore be able to be cultivated.
But when an ascetic detaches himself from the Second Dhyana by taking as his support the sdmantaka of the Third Dhyana, neither in the dnantarya nor in the vimukti paths can a pure jfidna of the sphere of the sdmantaka be cultivated: in fact there is no pure jfidna in this sdmantaka (viii. 22a). The cultivated jndna will be inferior to the Path: of the Second Dhyana, of dhydndntara, of the First Dhyana, or of anagamya.
145. Hsuan-tsang: "Only in the first ksayajnana does he cultivate all of the impure qualities of the nine spheres. " With the gloss: "In the first ksayajfidna, that is to say in the ninth vimuktimdrga of detachment from Bhavagra, and in the ninth vimuktimdrga of the five perfecting of the faculties" {TD 29, p. 139c25).

The meaning is that, at the moment of ksayajndna, there is produced the possession of
all the qualities to a great degree of excellence.
148. Compare the first Cakravartin King, Ko/a, iii. 96c.
149- Hsiian-tsang (p. 139cl6) adds a pdda: "Arisen above he does not cultivate the lower":, a thesis developed in the Vydkhyd: When one obtains the quality of Arhat (that is to say ksayajndna) in Kamadhatu, the asubhas, etc. , of the Three Dhatus are "cultivated" {bhavandm gacchanti); when one obtains the quality of Arhat in Rupadhatu, or in Arupyadhatu, the same qualities are cultivated belonging to these Dhatus. The same with respect to the different bhumis of these Dhatus; one who obtains the quality of Arhat in naivasamjnandsamjHdyatana cultivates only the qualities belonging to this bhumi.
150. a. Vydkhyd:yad vihtnam punar labhyate sammukhikriyate samsdrocitam na tad andgatam bhavyate bhdvitotsrstatvdt samsdre/ yad evdtra dhydndpramdnddy anucitam samsdre vihstam andsravdnugunam tatsammukhibhdve tajjdtiyam evandgatam vifispam bhdvyata ity deary? dariayati. It is some vulgar qualities, encountered in the course of transmigration, that one manifests, and that one abandons. These qualities are not the object of "cultivation," that is to say "are not possessed in a future state. " But when one actualizes the distinguished qualities, the Dhyanas, the Apramanas, etc. , rare in the course of transmigration, and which are favorable to the acquisition of pure qualities, one takes possession of them for the future. This is what Vasubandhu intends to say.
This explanation depends on Vasumitra's thesis that there is cultivation of some distinguished qualities, samsdrdnucatvdt,but not of others.
b. Hsiian-tsang: "The dharma previously acquired and then lost, and now acquired anew, is not 'cultivated* because of this, because one reacquired it without effort. One manifests the dharma not previously acquired with effort, and it is thus 'cultivated* in the future, because its force is great. Produced after having been acquired, it is not cultivated in the future, because its force is small, being produced without much effort. " This version is based on the explanation of Samghabhadra.
? Samghabhadra (in his Nydydnusdra, TD 29, p. 745? 8; see also his Prakaranasdsana, TD 29, p. 954c9, which does not exactly correspond) is quoted by the Vydkhyd: dcdryasamghabhadro'py etam evdrtham vydcaste/ labdhapurvam na bhavyate/ ? at pratilabdhavihinam punar labhyate na tad bhavyate/ arthad gamyate yad alabdhapurvam labhyate tad bhavyate/ yatndbhimukhikaranat/ apratiprasrabdho hi mdrgo yatnendbhi- mukhikriyata iti taddvedhabalatvdd andgato bhavandm gacchati/ pratilabdhapurvas tv ayatnena sarhmukhibhavati bhdvitapratifrabdhatvdt krtakrtyadattaphalatvdc ca vegahina iti tatsammukhibhdvdd andgato na bhdvyata iti/ yo'ndgato yatnena janyate sa bhdvyata ity abhiprdyah/
The Vydkhyd continues: tad evam satiyad uktam samvrtijn'dnam tdvad iti vistarena tad dryasamtdnapatitam eva grhyate.
That is to say: if this is the case, what is said of the cultivation of samvrtijHdna should also be understood of the samvrtijrldna of the Aryan. The Vydkhyd then mentions the opinion of Vasumitra, and the objection of the VaibhaSikas: samsdrdnucitatvdd iti dcdryavasumitrendtra likhitam/ atra kila vaibhdsikd dhuh/ naitad evam/ kutah/ yasmdd alabdham eva tad bhavati tyakyatvdt tasmdd bhdvitotsrstasydpi punarldbhe bhavaty eva bhavaneti/ katham tad apurvam bhavati ydvatdlabdhapurvam iti/ na hy evamvidham loke prasiddham iti/.
Finally, one can understand "what has not been obtained" (alabdhapurva) as what has not been obtained in this life: apare punar vydcaksate ekam janmedam abhikrtyoktam na janmdntaram/ yad vihinam asminn eva janmani punar labhyate na tad bhavyate
bhdvitotsrstatvdt/ janmdntare tu yal labhyate tad bhavyate. 151. See Kosa, vi. 1, note 2; vii, p. 1104, Atthasdlini, 163.

160. According to Hsuan-tsang. The original has: We have explained in general that the Arhats, whoever they are, take possession of the "qualities" at the moment when they produce the "consciousness of the destruction of the dsravas. " (vii. 26c) There are eighteen qualities which belong to the Buddha . . .

There are five qualities which belong exclusively to women {dveniya and dvenika), Divya, 2. 3, 98. 22, etc. ; Burnouf, Introduction, 169.
The good that I have done is my dveniya riches, Jdtaka, iv. 358.
162. a. This is the list of Divya, 182. 20, 268. 4.
b. Yasbmitra says: Such is the doctrine of the Vaibhasikas. Some other masters admit
eighteen dvenikas distinct from these, namely: ndsti tathdgatasya skhalitam, ndsti ravitam (-sahasd kriyd), ndsti dravatd (=kriddbhiprdyatd), ndsti ndndtvasamjnd (-sukhaduhkhd- duhkhdsukhesu visayesu rdgadvesamohato ndndtvasamjnd), nasty avydkftamanas, nasty apratisamkhydyopeksd, nasty atitesu pratihatam jn'dnadars'anam, nasty andgatesu pratihatam jfidnadarsanam, ndsti pratyutpannesu pratihatam jndnddarsanam, sarvam kdyakarma jn~dndnuparivarti, sarvam vdkkarma jh~dndnuparivarti, sarvam manaskarma
jridndnuparivarti, ndsti chandahdnih, ndsti viryahdnih, ndsti smrtihdnih, ndsti samddhihdnih,
? 1196 Chapter Seven
ndsti prajndhanih, ndsti vimuktijfldnadarianahdnih. This contradicts iv. 12, vi. 59.
This list, with some close variants, is found in Mahdvyutpatti, 9 (an extract, according to Wogihara, from the Tsa-chi ? ? ?
f Sthiramati) which is quoted here by the Japanese editor of the ? ? fa. We will find in Madhyamakdvatdra (vi. 213, p. 322-337) a commentary extracted from the Ddraniharapariprcchd. Very close too are the lists of Mahdvastu, i. 160
(see the note p. 505) and the Pali sources, Abhidhdnappadipikd and Jindlamkdra (Burnouf, Lotus, 649, Kern, Geschiedenis, i. 272, Milinda, 285).
The particularity of Yasbmitra's list is in the first terms: ndsti skhalitam ndsti ravitam ndsti dravatd; the Mahdvastu and the Mahdvyutpatti have: ndsti (s)khalitam ndsti ravitam ndsti musitasmrtitd; the Jindlamkdra gives: . . . natthi davd (commented upon as kicchdbhippdyena kiriyd, a bad reading for khidddbhippdyena), natthi ravd (commented upon as sahasd kiriyd). Note the close relationship with the glosses of Ya&omitra: dravatd = kriddbhiprdyatd, a = sahasd kriyd (=Tibetan ca ? ? , "outcry" = Chinese: "defect of the voice"). For dravatd, Mahdvastu-Mahdvyutpatti have, we would say musitasmrtitd (which has, perhaps a double use with the ninth declension: ndsti smrter hanih)t but Candra Das (p. 511) has a variant musitd or muditd, which suggests the idea of kridd.
Apratisamkhydyopeksa is an upeksd or indifference, which does not result from the consciousness, due, we would say, to apathy, not to wisdom (see vii. 8).
? The Bodhisattvabhumi (iii. 4) admits 140 dvenikas (see Museon, 1911,170): 32 and 80 marks, 4 "omniform" (sarvdkdra) purities, 10 balas, 4 vaiiaradyas, 3 smrtyupasthdnas, 3 draksanas (compare the 4 draksyas of Mahdvyutpatti, 12), mahdkarund, asampramosadhar- matd, vdsandsamudghdta, sarvdkdravarajfidna (compare sarvathdjHdna, Ko/a, vii. p. 1146).

165. This first jndnabala is by nature ten jndnas. Sthdndsthdna is divided into 1. samskrta, which is eightfold; 2. samprayukta (associated with the mind), of four types--Kamadhatu, Rupadhatu, Arupyadhatu, and andsrava; 3. viprayukta (disassociated from the mind), the same; and 4. asamskrta, which is either morally good or neutral.
Sthdndsthdnabala as samvrtijndna bears on these ten things; as dharmajndna on five; as anvayajndna on seven. . .
How are these ten things sthdndsthdna} See the Sutras: "There is the sthdna (possibility, sambhava) that a male realizes Buddhahood (buddhatvam kdrayisyati); there is the asthdna (impossibility, asambhava) that a female. . . ; there is the possibility that a male becomes Brahma (brahmatvam kdrayisyati); there is the possibility of the destruction of suffering. . .
Definition of this bala, Vibhanga, p. 335.
166. Action and its result are in fact included within the Truths of Suffering and Arising, not
in the Truths of Extinction or the Path.
167. We have Four Dhyanas (viii. l), Eight Vimoksas (viii. 32), Three Samadhis (funyatd, etc. , viii. 24), Two Samapattis (asamjni and nirodha, ii. 42) and Nine anupurvavihdrasamd- pattis {dhyanas, drupyas, nirodha). The same in Vibhanga, 339.
168. That is indriyaparopaiiyatta, Vibhanga, 340, Papisambhidd, i. 121. Indriya is rendered in the stanza by aksa; the Buddha knows if the faculties of beings (faith, etc. ) are weak, etc, (pardpara). (Vibhanga is more developed).
169. Adhimukti = adhmoksa - ruci (i. 20); the Buddha knows the aspirations of beings, their likes.
170. Sarhghabhadra explains: pUrvdbhydsavdsandsamttddgata diayo dhdtur iti; the Buddha knows the mental dispositions which result from former habits and practices. On vdsand, vii. 30c, 32d; on diaya, iv. note 375, and p. 663, vi. 34, Vibhanga, 340. The Vibhanga differs and places the consciousness of diaya, anuiaya, etc. , in the seventh bala.
171. The knowledge relative to nirodha is only included in the knowledge of the Path (pratipad) if one understands pratipad as pratipatphala; in fact pratipad is not the cause of nirodha even though it is the cause of the realms of rebirth.
The Vibhanga (p. 339) does not envision the pratipad of nirodha; the Papisambhidd- magga takes it into consideration.
172. On the expression jambusandagata, see iii. 41 at the end.
173. This is the story recounted in the Sutrdlamkdra of ASvaghosa, trans. Huber, p. 283. Saeki refers to the Sutra of the Wise and the Foolish, TD 4, no. 202) where the story is much

The Vyakhyd explains: Sariputra searches in vain to see in the series of this person a root of good "which could produce deliverance" (moksabhdgiya, iii. 44c, iv. 124, vi. 24c, vii. 34), and as a consequence refused to admit this person into the Sarhgha. But the Bhagavat saw this root of good and confered pravrajyd upon him. On this occasion the Bhagavat, questioned by the Bhiksus, said: "He did an action so that he obtained the state of Arhat. For actions do not mature in water . . . and the rest. " And it says: Moksabijam aharh hy asya susuksmam upalaksaye/ dhdtupdsdnavivare nilinam iva kdncanam// (Quoted in Vyakhyd, i. p. 5; translated by Burnouf, Lotus, p. 346).
174. Paramartha: "It is related also of the pigeon chased by the hawk that Sariputra was not capable of knowing the beginning and the end of his rebirths [as a bird? ].

132. From Karika 22 to Karika 26c Hsuan-tsang departs from the original (which Paramartha faithfully translates) both for the Karika and the Bhasyam.
133. Namely anvayajndna and mdrgajndna, because mdrge'nvayajn~dna is, by its nature, these two jfldnas.
134. Not sarhvrtijnana, because it has been acquired formerly (labdhapurvatvdt); see vii. 27. Not paracittajndna, because the ascetic is not vitardga.
135. Therefore in the four types of paths of the eight stages of bhdvandmdrga where one abandons the first eight categories of klesas of Kamadhatu, and also as long as one has not abandoned the ninth. On these four types of paths, see v. 6l, vi. 65b, (46d, 6ld), vii. 18c, 25d.

We understand by this that, by realizing these Abhijnas, one does not take possession of the same future Abhifiuas.

143- An ascetic detaches himself from Kamadhatu by a worldly path which has for its support {samniirayena, that is to say "is cultivated in") anagamya (introductory stage of the First Dhyana) and, through this detachment, he obtains the First Dhyana; at the moment of the ninth vimuktimdrga of this detachment, he cultivates a samvrtijfidna of the sphere of the anagamya or of the sphere of the First Dhyana; and so on until: he detaches himself from dkincanydyatana through the worldly path practiced in the sdmantaka (preparatory) stage of naivasamjfidnasamjHdyatana, he obtains a samvrtijfidna of the sphere of the sdmantaka or of the sphere of the naivasamjndnasamjndyatana. Samvrtijfidna is cultivated under the same conditions when the ascetic detaches himself from Kamadhatu through the path cultivated in pure {andsrava) anagamya.
But if the ascetic obtains the first pure dhyana by practicing the pure path in the First Dhyana, the samvrtijfidna that he obtains is of the sphere of the sdmantaka of the Second Dhyana which is opposed to the first. . . to the ninth category of the defilements {kleias) of the First Dhyana--for this is the first time that this ascetic obtains the first pure dhyana. And, in the ninth vimuktimdrga of the path by which he obtains the first pure dhyana, he cultivates, in the future, a samvrtijfidna of the second dhyana {Vydkhyd).
144. An ascetic takes his support from the second pure dhyana and, in this manner, detaches himself in the Third Dhyana: the purejndna which is cultivated is of the sphere of the Path, that is to say of the Second Dhyana; it is moreover in the ninth vimuktimdrga of detachment, of the sphere in which he detaches himself, namely the Third Dhyana; it is also of a lower sphere, namely of the First Dhyana, of anagamya. For it happens that the preparatory path is of a lower sphere: the jndna of a lower sphere will therefore be able to be cultivated.
But when an ascetic detaches himself from the Second Dhyana by taking as his support the sdmantaka of the Third Dhyana, neither in the dnantarya nor in the vimukti paths can a pure jfidna of the sphere of the sdmantaka be cultivated: in fact there is no pure jfidna in this sdmantaka (viii. 22a). The cultivated jndna will be inferior to the Path: of the Second Dhyana, of dhydndntara, of the First Dhyana, or of anagamya.
145. Hsuan-tsang: "Only in the first ksayajnana does he cultivate all of the impure qualities of the nine spheres. " With the gloss: "In the first ksayajfidna, that is to say in the ninth vimuktimdrga of detachment from Bhavagra, and in the ninth vimuktimdrga of the five perfecting of the faculties" {TD 29, p. 139c25).

The meaning is that, at the moment of ksayajndna, there is produced the possession of
all the qualities to a great degree of excellence.
148. Compare the first Cakravartin King, Ko/a, iii. 96c.
149- Hsiian-tsang (p. 139cl6) adds a pdda: "Arisen above he does not cultivate the lower":, a thesis developed in the Vydkhyd: When one obtains the quality of Arhat (that is to say ksayajndna) in Kamadhatu, the asubhas, etc. , of the Three Dhatus are "cultivated" {bhavandm gacchanti); when one obtains the quality of Arhat in Rupadhatu, or in Arupyadhatu, the same qualities are cultivated belonging to these Dhatus. The same with respect to the different bhumis of these Dhatus; one who obtains the quality of Arhat in naivasamjnandsamjHdyatana cultivates only the qualities belonging to this bhumi.
150. a. Vydkhyd:yad vihtnam punar labhyate sammukhikriyate samsdrocitam na tad andgatam bhavyate bhdvitotsrstatvdt samsdre/ yad evdtra dhydndpramdnddy anucitam samsdre vihstam andsravdnugunam tatsammukhibhdve tajjdtiyam evandgatam vifispam bhdvyata ity deary? dariayati. It is some vulgar qualities, encountered in the course of transmigration, that one manifests, and that one abandons. These qualities are not the object of "cultivation," that is to say "are not possessed in a future state. " But when one actualizes the distinguished qualities, the Dhyanas, the Apramanas, etc. , rare in the course of transmigration, and which are favorable to the acquisition of pure qualities, one takes possession of them for the future. This is what Vasubandhu intends to say.
This explanation depends on Vasumitra's thesis that there is cultivation of some distinguished qualities, samsdrdnucatvdt,but not of others.
b. Hsiian-tsang: "The dharma previously acquired and then lost, and now acquired anew, is not 'cultivated* because of this, because one reacquired it without effort. One manifests the dharma not previously acquired with effort, and it is thus 'cultivated* in the future, because its force is great. Produced after having been acquired, it is not cultivated in the future, because its force is small, being produced without much effort. " This version is based on the explanation of Samghabhadra.
? Samghabhadra (in his Nydydnusdra, TD 29, p. 745? 8; see also his Prakaranasdsana, TD 29, p. 954c9, which does not exactly correspond) is quoted by the Vydkhyd: dcdryasamghabhadro'py etam evdrtham vydcaste/ labdhapurvam na bhavyate/ ? at pratilabdhavihinam punar labhyate na tad bhavyate/ arthad gamyate yad alabdhapurvam labhyate tad bhavyate/ yatndbhimukhikaranat/ apratiprasrabdho hi mdrgo yatnendbhi- mukhikriyata iti taddvedhabalatvdd andgato bhavandm gacchati/ pratilabdhapurvas tv ayatnena sarhmukhibhavati bhdvitapratifrabdhatvdt krtakrtyadattaphalatvdc ca vegahina iti tatsammukhibhdvdd andgato na bhdvyata iti/ yo'ndgato yatnena janyate sa bhdvyata ity abhiprdyah/
The Vydkhyd continues: tad evam satiyad uktam samvrtijn'dnam tdvad iti vistarena tad dryasamtdnapatitam eva grhyate.
That is to say: if this is the case, what is said of the cultivation of samvrtijHdna should also be understood of the samvrtijrldna of the Aryan. The Vydkhyd then mentions the opinion of Vasumitra, and the objection of the VaibhaSikas: samsdrdnucitatvdd iti dcdryavasumitrendtra likhitam/ atra kila vaibhdsikd dhuh/ naitad evam/ kutah/ yasmdd alabdham eva tad bhavati tyakyatvdt tasmdd bhdvitotsrstasydpi punarldbhe bhavaty eva bhavaneti/ katham tad apurvam bhavati ydvatdlabdhapurvam iti/ na hy evamvidham loke prasiddham iti/.
Finally, one can understand "what has not been obtained" (alabdhapurva) as what has not been obtained in this life: apare punar vydcaksate ekam janmedam abhikrtyoktam na janmdntaram/ yad vihinam asminn eva janmani punar labhyate na tad bhavyate
bhdvitotsrstatvdt/ janmdntare tu yal labhyate tad bhavyate. 151. See Kosa, vi. 1, note 2; vii, p. 1104, Atthasdlini, 163.

162. a. This is the list of Divya, 182. 20, 268. 4.
b. Yasbmitra says: Such is the doctrine of the Vaibhasikas. Some other masters admit
eighteen dvenikas distinct from these, namely: ndsti tathdgatasya skhalitam, ndsti ravitam (-sahasd kriyd), ndsti dravatd (=kriddbhiprdyatd), ndsti ndndtvasamjnd (-sukhaduhkhd- duhkhdsukhesu visayesu rdgadvesamohato ndndtvasamjnd), nasty avydkftamanas, nasty apratisamkhydyopeksd, nasty atitesu pratihatam jn'dnadars'anam, nasty andgatesu pratihatam jfidnadarsanam, ndsti pratyutpannesu pratihatam jndnddarsanam, sarvam kdyakarma jn~dndnuparivarti, sarvam vdkkarma jh~dndnuparivarti, sarvam manaskarma

? 1196 Chapter Seven
ndsti prajndhanih, ndsti vimuktijfldnadarianahdnih. This contradicts iv. 12, vi. 59.
This list, with some close variants, is found in Mahdvyutpatti, 9 (an extract, according to Wogihara, from the Tsa-chi ? ? ?
f Sthiramati) which is quoted here by the Japanese editor of the ? ? fa. We will find in Madhyamakdvatdra (vi. 213, p. 322-337) a commentary extracted from the Ddraniharapariprcchd. Very close too are the lists of Mahdvastu, i. 160
(see the note p. 505) and the Pali sources, Abhidhdnappadipikd and Jindlamkdra (Burnouf, Lotus, 649, Kern, Geschiedenis, i. 272, Milinda, 285).
The particularity of Yasbmitra's list is in the first terms: ndsti skhalitam ndsti ravitam ndsti dravatd; the Mahdvastu and the Mahdvyutpatti have: ndsti (s)khalitam ndsti ravitam ndsti musitasmrtitd; the Jindlamkdra gives: . . . natthi davd (commented upon as kicchdbhippdyena kiriyd, a bad reading for khidddbhippdyena), natthi ravd (commented upon as sahasd kiriyd). Note the close relationship with the glosses of Ya&omitra: dravatd = kriddbhiprdyatd, a = sahasd kriyd (=Tibetan ca ? ? , "outcry" = Chinese: "defect of the voice"). For dravatd, Mahdvastu-Mahdvyutpatti have, we would say musitasmrtitd (which has, perhaps a double use with the ninth declension: ndsti smrter hanih)t but Candra Das (p. 511) has a variant musitd or muditd, which suggests the idea of kridd.
Apratisamkhydyopeksa is an upeksd or indifference, which does not result from the consciousness, due, we would say, to apathy, not to wisdom (see vii. 8).
? The Bodhisattvabhumi (iii. 4) admits 140 dvenikas (see Museon, 1911,170): 32 and 80 marks, 4 "omniform" (sarvdkdra) purities, 10 balas, 4 vaiiaradyas, 3 smrtyupasthdnas, 3 draksanas (compare the 4 draksyas of Mahdvyutpatti, 12), mahdkarund, asampramosadhar- matd, vdsandsamudghdta, sarvdkdravarajfidna (compare sarvathdjHdna, Ko/a, vii. p. 1146).

165. This first jndnabala is by nature ten jndnas. Sthdndsthdna is divided into 1. samskrta, which is eightfold; 2. samprayukta (associated with the mind), of four types--Kamadhatu, Rupadhatu, Arupyadhatu, and andsrava; 3. viprayukta (disassociated from the mind), the same; and 4. asamskrta, which is either morally good or neutral.
Sthdndsthdnabala as samvrtijndna bears on these ten things; as dharmajndna on five; as anvayajndna on seven. . .
How are these ten things sthdndsthdna} See the Sutras: "There is the sthdna (possibility, sambhava) that a male realizes Buddhahood (buddhatvam kdrayisyati); there is the asthdna (impossibility, asambhava) that a female. . . ; there is the possibility that a male becomes Brahma (brahmatvam kdrayisyati); there is the possibility of the destruction of suffering. . .
Definition of this bala, Vibhanga, p. 335.
166. Action and its result are in fact included within the Truths of Suffering and Arising, not
in the Truths of Extinction or the Path.
167. We have Four Dhyanas (viii. l), Eight Vimoksas (viii. 32), Three Samadhis (funyatd, etc. , viii. 24), Two Samapattis (asamjni and nirodha, ii. 42) and Nine anupurvavihdrasamd- pattis {dhyanas, drupyas, nirodha). The same in Vibhanga, 339.
168. That is indriyaparopaiiyatta, Vibhanga, 340, Papisambhidd, i. 121. Indriya is rendered in the stanza by aksa; the Buddha knows if the faculties of beings (faith, etc. ) are weak, etc, (pardpara). (Vibhanga is more developed).
169. Adhimukti = adhmoksa - ruci (i. 20); the Buddha knows the aspirations of beings, their likes.
170. Sarhghabhadra explains: pUrvdbhydsavdsandsamttddgata diayo dhdtur iti; the Buddha knows the mental dispositions which result from former habits and practices. On vdsand, vii. 30c, 32d; on diaya, iv. note 375, and p. 663, vi. 34, Vibhanga, 340. The Vibhanga differs and places the consciousness of diaya, anuiaya, etc. , in the seventh bala.
171. The knowledge relative to nirodha is only included in the knowledge of the Path (pratipad) if one understands pratipad as pratipatphala; in fact pratipad is not the cause of nirodha even though it is the cause of the realms of rebirth.
The Vibhanga (p. 339) does not envision the pratipad of nirodha; the Papisambhidd- magga takes it into consideration.
172. On the expression jambusandagata, see iii. 41 at the end.
173. This is the story recounted in the Sutrdlamkdra of ASvaghosa, trans. Huber, p. 283. Saeki refers to the Sutra of the Wise and the Foolish, TD 4, no. 202) where the story is much

The Vyakhyd explains: Sariputra searches in vain to see in the series of this person a root of good "which could produce deliverance" (moksabhdgiya, iii. 44c, iv. 124, vi. 24c, vii. 34), and as a consequence refused to admit this person into the Sarhgha. But the Bhagavat saw this root of good and confered pravrajyd upon him. On this occasion the Bhagavat, questioned by the Bhiksus, said: "He did an action so that he obtained the state of Arhat. For actions do not mature in water . . . and the rest. " And it says: Moksabijam aharh hy asya susuksmam upalaksaye/ dhdtupdsdnavivare nilinam iva kdncanam// (Quoted in Vyakhyd, i. p. 5; translated by Burnouf, Lotus, p. 346).
174. Paramartha: "It is related also of the pigeon chased by the hawk that Sariputra was not capable of knowing the beginning and the end of his rebirths [as a bird? ].
