63.3

Regarding the commentary's phrase "explained according to stages" and so on: the fourth distinguishes the fruit. The Abhidharmasamuccaya says: "The fruit of cultivating the factors of awakening means the permanent abandonment of the afflictions to be abandoned by the path of seeing, because the seven factors of awakening are the self-nature of the path of seeing." The Yogācārabhūmi says: "Because one initially obtains the seven factors of awakening, one is called a 'beginner in training' (śaikṣa). Having seen the sacred footprints, one permanently cuts off and eliminates all afflictions to be abandoned by the path of seeing, leaving only the afflictions to be abandoned by the path of cultivation."
