There are two reasons: first, to extinguish evil, namely abandoning saṃsāra; second, to generate goodness, namely causing them to attain bodhi. Here, it is to extinguish evil. It also distinctively explains the five defilements (pañcakasāyāḥ). There are five kinds of defilement; here four are cited: First, the lifespan defilement (āyuḥkaṣāya), which refers to human life lasting one hundred years. Second, the sentient-being defilement (sattvakaṣāya), within which there are three aspects: 1. their joyful disposition is not magnanimous, which refers to being inferior by nature; 2. they lack past merit and wisdom, which refers to having meager and thin roots of goodness; 3. they have much delusion and foolishness, which refers to having no faith and understanding. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.2.72) - [Next: 2.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.2.74) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788~en-mt.2.73) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.2.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.2.73) · Pramāṇa
