Samghabhadra explains: In fact (arthatas), the $sis ordered (ajnapitaras) the killing. Some
demonic beings (amanusya), knowing (avetya) their sinful intention of destroying living beings (sattvapafnyagapruvfttapapafaya), came to the Rsis. How did the $sis manifest (trijnapti) their
? intention? By reason of their anger, they modified their bodies and their voices; if they cursed, there was certainly movement (cesfd) of the body and voice. Some other masters say that ahavijifapUoi the sphere of Kamadhatu does not depend on a vijfiapti_For example, die Five (pakcaka) in obtaining the result at the same time as thePrdtimoksa discipline (above p. 592): in this same way a bad avijfiapti can arise without there being a vijfiapti. Would one say that the Five previously created vijfiapti? It would also be the same in other cases. So too in the case of the (Lsjs. With respect to lying at the confession ceremony (posadhamrsdvdda)y the fact that the guilty monk (aparUuddhd) enters the assembly, sits down, and remains there as he should (svam iryapdtham kalpayati), and says what he should say, signifies that there was for him a vtjriapti previous [to the moment when he acquiesces by his silence].

Buddhaghosa gives some examples of mental curses: a mother desires that an enraged buffab crush the child that goes into the woods in spite of her prohibitions against him doing so, or that the house collapse on her children; the school master desires the death of liis lazy students. In thesecases, there is no p ^ m r i vdcd But on the contrary, there is phamsd vdcd when one says "Sleep well" to a person that one wants to assassinate.

352. This monk is a mithyajmn (iv. 86b). Mithydpva is defined by the Vyakhyd as kuhond Iopond notminikotd noispesikatd. Wogihara (Bodhisattvabbtimi, Leipzig, 1906) has a long note on these four terms and quotes the definition that the Vyakhyd gives here of the term Iopond: lopondm karothi Idbbayafaskdmatayd sevdbhidyotikom vdcarh niicdroyatity arthoh: it would thus be appropriate to translate lapand by "flattery," as do Paramartha and Hsuan-tsang. But the sources quoted by Wogihara (namely TD 26, number 1537, the Dharmaskandha, etc) show that they refer to a monk who flaunts his own merits.

361. Atthikavdda is opposed to ndstidrspi (Majjhima, i. 515).
As the Bhdsya shows, mithyadrspi is the dipphivipaUi of the Puggalapafiffatti, a doctrine
condemned in the Sutra as belonging to Ajita Kesakambali (Digba L55, Majjhima, 1515, TD 2, p. WsHJnanaprasthdna, TD 26, p. 1027M7, Vibhdfd, TD 27, p. 505a6, treatise "Refutation of the Pudga/a," trans. Hsuan-tsang, TD 29, p. 152).
Pali sources, Kathavatthu, xiv. 8-9, whose commentary quotes notably Majjhima, i. 388, and Samyutta, iv. 307, where s%avratapardmaria is designated a micchdditthi (Ko/a, v. 7) punished by hell or by an animal existence (The same in Theragdthd, 1091, Commentary, on the realm of rebirth of the person who believes that the doers of karma are reborn in heaven). But Atthasatint, p. 358, distinguishes micchadipphi niyatd (-nastidrspis iubhdiubhe of the Abhidharma) from the other micchddipphis (see below note 438), and, p. 101, teaches that it is solely through the negation of action, etc, that the kammapatha of micchadipphi \& realized, not by other wrong views (The Expositor translates:. . . kammapathabhedo hoti na an~tiadipphiki "the distinctive stage of the course of action is reached by the views: there is no result. . . and not by other views"; kammapathabheda, "realization of the deed itself," should be understood as vacibheda, "words").
362. Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 598a24. Why not consider volition, cetand, as a deed in and of itself? Cetand is action. What is called deed, is where the cetand goes. . . The same way that where the King goes is called the King's Road, but the King is not the road. . . The dharma which coexists with the cetand can serve as a road for the cetand and will thus be called a road of action (=the deed itself). But in the case where one causes another to kill, much time can pass between the order to kill and the killing itself: thus if the cetand for the killing has disappeared, how can one say that the dharma (the action of killing) was a road of the cetand? Let us say, rather, that the dharma which can coexist with a cetand is a road of action. But two cetands do not coexist.
363. When preparatory action or consecutive action are themselves deeds (above p. 644), it is by virtue of their characteristics, and not through their connection with another action.

382. Hsiian-tsang: It happens that, relative to cause and result, there either arises doubt: "Perhaps cause and result exist," or a right view: "Cause and result certainly exists, it is false that they do not exist. " At this moment the roots of good arise again. When the possession (prdptf) of good is produced, one says that this person has again taken up the roots of good. Certain masters say that the nine categories successively arise again. But the [Vaibhasikas] say that one again takes up at one and the same time all the roots of good: it is however later, and little by little, that they manifest themselves, in the same way that one gets rid of illness at one stroke, but one only gradually regains his powers.

391. One should exclude illicit sexuality always accomplished in person with a defiled mind.
392. One can criticize this redaction. Does it refer to actions committed in person? Then it is useless to specify that the murderer is of mistaken thought, that the robber is in the prey of desire, according to the principle vyabbicdre hi viiesanam isyate. Does it refer to actions that one has committed by another? Then greed, wickedness, or false views (an coexist with killing, stealing, etc Response: It refers to actions committed in person, and if we specify it, this is not to specify in the true sense of the word, but only to explain what the two paths are. So be it, but there are also two paths in the hypothesis of the person who has a murder committed with a mind of greed Response: Yes; this case should be mentioned; but the authors only intend to give an example.

395. We have: lying, which is paUunya (maligning words) since the liar has the intention of dividing, and which are inconsiderate words since all defiled words are inconsiderate words (iv. 76c-d). The same for injury. For lying, the mental path can be greed or wickedness; for injury, the mental path is wickedness.
It is the same words which are lying, maligning words, and inconsiderate words: the distinction of the three vocal paths is thus purely verbal, and not real According to another opinion, the distinction is real, for one must distinguish three vtjfiaptis. [The questioners are deluded, divided, etc]
396. Volition cannot be found with a singlepath: this single path cannot be a mental path, since a good mind is always accompanied by oon-abhidhydand non-vydpdda; it cannot be a material path included within the precepts, for the precepts include at the very least the renouncing of killing, stealing, illicit sexuality, and lying.
Volition cannot be found with five paths: this would suppose the four paths of the fewest precepts (Upasaka, etc), plus a good mental path; now non-abhidbyd and non-vyapdda are inseparable.
Volition cannot be found with eight paths. In fact, the Bhiksu with a bad mind or with a neutral mind possesses only seven good paths, and, when his mind is good, he possesses at least nine.
397. Ksayaptena and anutpddapldna are not dfspi (vii. l); thus the volition of this person is not accompanied by samyagdfsfi. There is no rupa in the absorptions of Arupyadhatu, and, as a consequence, so too the precepts with the seven good bodily and vocal paths.
398. Hsiian-tsang clearly distinguishes the three cases: ''When one undertakes the Bhiksu precepts the five consciousnesses are good. . . " Saeki:rightview is lacking because one has the (ive bad dfffi
399. This is by way of example. There are also five paths when--with a defiled or neutral mind--one renounces the five transgressions.

they are cut off: thus gods can be killed.

Everything that a person experiences does not have former action for its cause {Majjhima, E214). According to the Sutra of Ka6yapa the Nude (same beginning as Samyutta, ill8) which constitutes a chapter of the KarmaprajtSapti (Mdo. 62, 241a), suffering is produced by oneself (when one cuts his hair, his hand, etc), by another (when another cuts his hand), by oneself and by another (when, with another, one cuts his hand), not by oneself or by another, but by causes and conditions: "when, for example, wind arises, rain falls, lightning flashes, or houses crash down, or trees are broken to pieces, or the tops of crags cast down: some have their feet c u t . . . : suffering in this case is produced by causes and conditions. Oh Kaiyapa, all pleasure and all suffering are producedbyoneself,byanother,byselfandanother,bytheseasons(ftu):. . . inwintergreatcold,in the season of rains great heat, and in winter cold and heat produce pleasure and suffering. " But the problem is not resolved by these definitions: we know in fact that mental trouble (which is a painful sensation) arises from the trouble of the elements and is not from retribution, but that the trouble of the elements is retribution (iv. 58). The same holds for sickness, etc On utuja compare Milinda, p. 271, Visuddbimagga, 451, Compendium, p. 161 (which does not concern itself with the origin of suffering); utuparjndmaja figures among the eight types of suffering, Milinda, 134-135. Dfgba, iii. 139.
408. According to the commentary, the Sutra indicates, by these three terms, preparatory action (prayoga), the action itself (mould), and the consecutive action (prtfba). This interpretation is not admitted by all the schools as we shall see below p. 670.
409. Rebirth in hell is given as an example of retribution; animal rebirth, rebirth in the state of preta, etc, are also retributioa
410. Karmaprajtidpti (Mdo. 72, foL 206a):". . . by strong killing, one is reborn among beings in hell;

361. Atthikavdda is opposed to ndstidrspi (Majjhima, i. 515).
As the Bhdsya shows, mithyadrspi is the dipphivipaUi of the Puggalapafiffatti, a doctrine
condemned in the Sutra as belonging to Ajita Kesakambali (Digba L55, Majjhima, 1515, TD 2, p. WsHJnanaprasthdna, TD 26, p. 1027M7, Vibhdfd, TD 27, p. 505a6, treatise "Refutation of the Pudga/a," trans. Hsuan-tsang, TD 29, p. 152).
Pali sources, Kathavatthu, xiv. 8-9, whose commentary quotes notably Majjhima, i. 388, and Samyutta, iv. 307, where s%avratapardmaria is designated a micchdditthi (Ko/a, v. 7) punished by hell or by an animal existence (The same in Theragdthd, 1091, Commentary, on the realm of rebirth of the person who believes that the doers of karma are reborn in heaven). But Atthasatint, p. 358, distinguishes micchadipphi niyatd (-nastidrspis iubhdiubhe of the Abhidharma) from the other micchddipphis (see below note 438), and, p. 101, teaches that it is solely through the negation of action, etc, that the kammapatha of micchadipphi \& realized, not by other wrong views (The Expositor translates:. . . kammapathabhedo hoti na an~tiadipphiki "the distinctive stage of the course of action is reached by the views: there is no result. . . and not by other views"; kammapathabheda, "realization of the deed itself," should be understood as vacibheda, "words").
362. Vibhdsd, TD 27, p. 598a24. Why not consider volition, cetand, as a deed in and of itself? Cetand is action. What is called deed, is where the cetand goes. . . The same way that where the King goes is called the King's Road, but the King is not the road. . . The dharma which coexists with the cetand can serve as a road for the cetand and will thus be called a road of action (=the deed itself). But in the case where one causes another to kill, much time can pass between the order to kill and the killing itself: thus if the cetand for the killing has disappeared, how can one say that the dharma (the action of killing) was a road of the cetand? Let us say, rather, that the dharma which can coexist with a cetand is a road of action. But two cetands do not coexist.
363. When preparatory action or consecutive action are themselves deeds (above p. 644), it is by virtue of their characteristics, and not through their connection with another action.
364. The roots of good cannot be cut off in a definitive manner (ii. 36c-d, trans, p. 210).

382. Hsiian-tsang: It happens that, relative to cause and result, there either arises doubt: "Perhaps cause and result exist," or a right view: "Cause and result certainly exists, it is false that they do not exist. " At this moment the roots of good arise again. When the possession (prdptf) of good is produced, one says that this person has again taken up the roots of good. Certain masters say that the nine categories successively arise again. But the [Vaibhasikas] say that one again takes up at one and the same time all the roots of good: it is however later, and little by little, that they manifest themselves, in the same way that one gets rid of illness at one stroke, but one only gradually regains his powers.

391. One should exclude illicit sexuality always accomplished in person with a defiled mind.
392. One can criticize this redaction. Does it refer to actions committed in person? Then it is useless to specify that the murderer is of mistaken thought, that the robber is in the prey of desire, according to the principle vyabbicdre hi viiesanam isyate. Does it refer to actions that one has committed by another? Then greed, wickedness, or false views (an coexist with killing, stealing, etc Response: It refers to actions committed in person, and if we specify it, this is not to specify in the true sense of the word, but only to explain what the two paths are. So be it, but there are also two paths in the hypothesis of the person who has a murder committed with a mind of greed Response: Yes; this case should be mentioned; but the authors only intend to give an example.

395. We have: lying, which is paUunya (maligning words) since the liar has the intention of dividing, and which are inconsiderate words since all defiled words are inconsiderate words (iv. 76c-d). The same for injury. For lying, the mental path can be greed or wickedness; for injury, the mental path is wickedness.
It is the same words which are lying, maligning words, and inconsiderate words: the distinction of the three vocal paths is thus purely verbal, and not real According to another opinion, the distinction is real, for one must distinguish three vtjfiaptis. [The questioners are deluded, divided, etc]
396. Volition cannot be found with a singlepath: this single path cannot be a mental path, since a good mind is always accompanied by oon-abhidhydand non-vydpdda; it cannot be a material path included within the precepts, for the precepts include at the very least the renouncing of killing, stealing, illicit sexuality, and lying.
Volition cannot be found with five paths: this would suppose the four paths of the fewest precepts (Upasaka, etc), plus a good mental path; now non-abhidbyd and non-vyapdda are inseparable.
Volition cannot be found with eight paths. In fact, the Bhiksu with a bad mind or with a neutral mind possesses only seven good paths, and, when his mind is good, he possesses at least nine.
397. Ksayaptena and anutpddapldna are not dfspi (vii. l); thus the volition of this person is not accompanied by samyagdfsfi. There is no rupa in the absorptions of Arupyadhatu, and, as a consequence, so too the precepts with the seven good bodily and vocal paths.
398. Hsiian-tsang clearly distinguishes the three cases: ''When one undertakes the Bhiksu precepts the five consciousnesses are good. . . " Saeki:rightview is lacking because one has the (ive bad dfffi
399. This is by way of example. There are also five paths when--with a defiled or neutral mind--one renounces the five transgressions.

Naraka: nara = man, ka - bad, tiaraka = a place where the wicked are born; or rather, raka -

404. There is no marriage in Uttarakuru, Mtbdbbdrata, L122. 7.
405. We should say rather: devo devath na mdrayati, "a god does not kill a god," which implies the conclusion: gods cannot be killed (avadbya). In fact when their major and minor limbs are cut off, they regenerate themselves. But their heads, and their waists do not regenerate themselves when
they are cut off: thus gods can be killed.

These three results have been defined ii. 56 andfollowing. How action, being past, can bear a result, see the "Refutation of the Pudgala" at the end of the Ko/a and the important discussion in Madbyamakavftti, p. 316 and following.
Everything that a person experiences does not have former action for its cause {Majjhima, E214). According to the Sutra of Ka6yapa the Nude (same beginning as Samyutta, ill8) which constitutes a chapter of the KarmaprajtSapti (Mdo. 62, 241a), suffering is produced by oneself (when one cuts his hair, his hand, etc), by another (when another cuts his hand), by oneself and by another (when, with another, one cuts his hand), not by oneself or by another, but by causes and conditions: "when, for example, wind arises, rain falls, lightning flashes, or houses crash down, or trees are broken to pieces, or the tops of crags cast down: some have their feet c u t . . . : suffering in this case is produced by causes and conditions. Oh Kaiyapa, all pleasure and all suffering are producedbyoneself,byanother,byselfandanother,bytheseasons(ftu):. . . inwintergreatcold,in the season of rains great heat, and in winter cold and heat produce pleasure and suffering. " But the problem is not resolved by these definitions: we know in fact that mental trouble (which is a painful sensation) arises from the trouble of the elements and is not from retribution, but that the trouble of the elements is retribution (iv. 58). The same holds for sickness, etc On utuja compare Milinda, p. 271, Visuddbimagga, 451, Compendium, p. 161 (which does not concern itself with the origin of suffering); utuparjndmaja figures among the eight types of suffering, Milinda, 134-135. Dfgba, iii. 139.
408. According to the commentary, the Sutra indicates, by these three terms, preparatory action (prayoga), the action itself (mould), and the consecutive action (prtfba). This interpretation is not admitted by all the schools as we shall see below p. 670.
409. Rebirth in hell is given as an example of retribution; animal rebirth, rebirth in the state of preta, etc, are also retributioa
410. Karmaprajtidpti (Mdo. 72, foL 206a):". . . by strong killing, one is reborn among beings in hell;
by medium killing, among animals; by weak killing, among the Pretas. " Same doctrine in Daiabb&maka, ii (quoted in Madbyamakdvatdra, ii. 7, translated Museon, 1907, p. 290).
