But the seventh stage is not like this, for it is possible to have a body in the desire realm. If one who attains the seventh stage never advances to the eighth stage, then the designation 'non-returner' would not be evident. In terms of the force of this doctrine, it should apply through the tenth stage, but it is only to praise the tenth stage that it is matched with the fourth person. Baoliang says: When the sixth stage is fulfilled, one subsequently advances in what is severed, up to the ninth stage where defilements of form and mind are severed; the coarse obstacles being exhausted, one no longer takes birth in the three realms. Thus, it is analogized to the person of the third fruit. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 15.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.15.10) - [Next: 15.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.15.12) - [Up: 15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.15) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.15.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.15.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.15.11) · Pramāṇa
