Realization of that which has been

truthful and may be relied upon). (10).

These 10 elements are the appliances which bring about
the origination of all the virtuous properties peculiar to the first
Stage, being thus causes or factors of a special kind. By means
of these appliances, which are, moreover, especially characterized
by the non-perception of the separate essences (of the
elements), the first Stage (of the Bodhisattva) is realized. It
is called "the Stage of Joy," owing to the fact
of the origination (with the Bodhisattva) of the feeling of delight,
as he cognizes the true essence of the elements which had
been unknown to him before.

THE ABHISAMAYALAMKARA 153
THE EIGHT APPLIANCES OF THE SECOND STAGE 1 ,—
Kar. I. 51.
These are as follows :—
Perfectly pure Mor alit y, 2 devoid of the
tendencies peculiar to the ^ravakas and the Pratyekabuddhas
(i.e. egoistic).—It is of three kinds, viz. (a) Morality
consisting in the accumulation of all the virtuous
elements, (b) Morality consisting in the action for the sake
of other living beings and (c) Morality in fulfilling the
religious vows and observances. (1)
(I. 51a.).

Dutt, 215, 1-6 (including the 8 appliances). Again, O Subhuti,
the Bodhisattva, the Mahasattva who abides on the
second Stage must direct his attention upon the following
eight elements and apply his energy with regard to them.
