THE DIFFERENT FORMS OF PURIFICATION. Kar. II. 29.<br />

These are :—<br />

1 The purification of the 5ravaka<br />

through the removal of Obscuration of Moral<br />

Defilement, and the purification of<br />

the solitary Pratyekabuddha, through<br />

the' removal of one part of the Obscuration of Ignorance,<br />

viz. the imputation of the reality of<br />

the external world. Both these forms represent<br />

the purification (i.e. the full realization) of the<br />

Omniscience in regard of the Empirical<br />

World (which is accessible to the Hinayanist<br />

Saints).<br />

hatred (dvesa), and infatuation (moha) which constitute the Obscuration<br />

of moral defilement.—Ibid. 254a. 2-8 (with regard 'to<br />
