148 ANALYSIS OF<br />

gradual succession. These defiling elements are as folows:—<br />

1 passion, 2 hatred, 1 3 pride, 4 ignorance, 5 the conception of<br />

real individuality, and 6 extreme views,-—six forms relating to<br />

the World of Carnal Desire. In the Spheres of Pure Matter<br />

and the Immaterial (each of them taken separately) we have the<br />

same forms with the exception of hatred,—thus in both together<br />

ten forms. 2<br />

2 5 (rel. to rupa-dhatu)+5 (rel. to ariipyadhaiu)=\O. These<br />

are defiling elements which are to be extirpated by concentrated<br />

trance (bha~0ana-heya = sgom~3pan, cf. "Doctrine of Pr.-par." p. 53).<br />

The classification given here is the same as that of the Abhidh.-<br />

samuccaya, Aga ed. 55b. 1-3. Ace. to the Abhidharmakosa (V. 5.<br />

Transl. p. 11, 12),—there are four forms (raga, pratigha, mana,<br />

avidya) in the k.ama-dhaiu $ three forms (the same with the exception<br />

of pratigha) in the rupa-dhatu, and three forms (ditto) in the<br />

arupya-dhatti.—The difference in the essential character of the<br />

defiling forces that are extirpated by direct intuition and those<br />

which are removed by concentrated trance (drsti-heya and bhaoanahey<br />

a) is explained in the Gser, I. 323a. I sqq. as follows :—The<br />

first (i.e. the drsti-heya) are the gross forms of defilement which<br />

are originated owing to the influence of false views over the mind.<br />

They can be removed only through the intuition of the four<br />

Principles of the Saint, (mthonspan-ni grub-mthah nan-pas yid<br />

bslad-pas skyed-pahi rags-pahi cha yinpas b den pa mnon-sum-du<br />

mthohba tsam-gyis spon-bahi phyir). The defiling elements which<br />

are to be extirpated by concentrated trance (bhavana-heya) are not<br />

the result of imputations caused by perverse views. They represent<br />

the innate (sahaja) subtle forms defilement which accompany<br />

the stream of individual existence and are beginningless. (sgom<br />

The position of the ten Stages, that of Joy and the rest,<br />

on the Path of Illumination and Concentrated Contemplation is<br />

determined by the varieties of the properties which are called<br />

appliances (or purifying factors). 1 Now, as long as the elements<br />

which represent the appliances of a Stage are not brought to<br />

lull accomplishment, (the Bodhisattva is considered to abide on)<br />

the said Stage. As soon as they are fully accomplished, we<br />

know (that he has passed over to) the next Stage. These elements<br />

which we call appliances are all of them indicated in<br />

the Pancaoimsatisdhasri\a.<br />
