ABHISAMAYALAMKARA

178 ANALYSIS OF THE ABHISAMAYALAMKARA 179
which cognizes the element of the Absolute as the foundation
for the controlling power over the
Biotic Force etc., and by means of which the
entrance upon the Stage of the Buddha is secured
represents the tenth Stage of the
Bodhisattva. It is called "the Stage of
the Clouds of the Truth'* (or of the Doctrine),
since (the Bodhisattva abiding on this Stage) causes the
rain of the Highest Doctrine to descend (upon the
converts). 1

THE ACCUMULATION OF THE ANTIDOTES.
Vfm^mK* = gfien-pohi tshogs. Kir. I. 71.
(17) The Accumulation of the ten Stages refers to
the Paths of Illumination and Concentrated Contemplation.
Thereafter, we have the said Paths as representing
the Accumulation of the Antidotes,
in correspondence with the different degrees of extirpation
of the points to be shunned.

Stage of Perception of the virtuous elements (Cf. "Doctr. of Pr.par.**
p. 49.) and beyond the Stages of the Spiritual Lineage, the Stage of
the Access to the eight Results of Saintliness, of Illumination, of
Refinement, of the Dispassionate, of the full notion of the termination
(of the Path), of the ^ravakas, the Pratyekabuddha and the Bodhisattva.
Thus, O Subhuti, he comes to the Stage of the Buddha.
This (state immediately preceding the latter) is the 10th Stage of
the B.M.—
