The full accomplishment of these 12 appliances
which have the character of the highest forms of perfection
and the same distinctive feature as in the preceding
cases, means the full realization of the ninth Stage (of the
Bodhisattva). The latter is called "tie Stage of
Perfect W i s d o m, owing to the irreproachability
(of the Bodhisattva) as regards his skill in teaching the
Doctrine.—

THE ABHISAMAYALAMKARA 177
The Stage of (the access to) the eight
(Degrees of Saintlines s),—that of the candidate
to the first Result. 1
The Stage of Illuminatio n,—of him who
has entered the Stream. 2
The Stage of Refinemen t,—of him who
returns to this world once more. 3
The Stage of the Dispassionate, of
him who returns no more. 4
The Stage of him who
the full notion of having
possesses
terminated
the course of Training on the Path, i.e. of the Arhat. 5
The Stage of the Sravaka (without any
special indications), referring to the three kinds of
candidates.
The Stage of the Pratyekabuddha,
i.e. the intuition peculiar to the latter.
The Stage of the Bodhisattva, consisting
of the nine varieties which have just been described.
Having passed beyond the limits of these nine Stages,
the Bodhisattva attains the tenth, and may be called a
Buddha, "though not a fully accomplished Buddha,'* as
it is said in the Pancammsatisdhasrika. (He thus attains
the state which directly precedes the full realization of
Buddhahood. 6 Accordingly, the Transcendental Wisdom

Stage with the Buddha in the Uttaratantra. (Transl. p. 201).—

Transc. Illusion (avidyd-vasana), the Undefiled Biotic Force (anasravafyarma)
which is the result of pluralistic views (nimitta-prapanca},
the non-physical body (manomayak.5ya), and the states of migration
from one existence to another which take place in some inconceivable
manner, he cannot yet fully realize the Cosmical body which is the
Absolute Purity, Bliss, Unity, and Eternity, and cannot therefore be
called a fully accomplished Buddha.—Cf. Uttaratantra, Transl.
