1150 Chapter Seven<br />

It is produced by Immovable Arhats {akopyadharman, vi. 56)<br />

and not by others: for others are not capable of radically cutting off<br />

their own defilements (they are in fact subject to falling) and so<br />

they cannot arrest the defilements of others.<br />

36d. It is produced by humans.<br />

It is produced by humans, for it is only a being in the human<br />

realm of rebirth who can cultivate it in the Three Dvipas.<br />

36e. It relates to the defilements of Kamadhatu, is future,<br />

and has a real object.<br />

It bears on the defilements of others, in Kamadhatu, in the<br />

future, and "has a real object" {savastuka), "May no defilements<br />

arise in others with respect to me!" The savastuka defilements are<br />

craving, anger, etc., which are abandoned through Meditation<br />

(vi. 58).<br />

The avastuka defilements of others (vi. 58), which are<br />

abandoned through Seeing, are not susceptible of being arrested,<br />

for the universal {sarvatraga) defilements (v. 12), which exist in<br />

the totality of their sphere, also exist in the series of another. 212<br />

As is the Samadhi Absence of Contention,<br />

37a-b. So too the Knowledge Resulting from Resolution;<br />

[but it has all for its object]. 213<br />

Like the Samadhi Absence of Contention, the Knowledge<br />

Resulting from Resolution is, by nature, conventional knowledge;<br />

like Absence of Contention, it exists in the Fourth Dhyana, it is<br />

produced in the series of an Immovable One, and it is meditated<br />

upon by a being in the human realm of rebirth.
