Because this text belongs to the Vaipulya division, it must encompass both. Elimination without severing is the perfect meaning; elimination through cessation is the distinct meaning. Cessation means dying out, like taking the life of serpents and vipers. This severing and non-severing, in terms of within and beyond the realms, corresponds to the four teachings: within the realm, severing is the Tripiṭaka and non-severing is the shared; beyond the realm, the distinct and perfect are as stated above. Expelling and subduing is severing; leveling and subduing is non-severing. Previously, matching "expelling" against "cessation," cessation was death and expelling was life; now, matching "expelling" against "leveling," leveling means nothing is displaced. Expelling is like altering and moving, hence one must match leveling against non-severing. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.2.1) - [Next: 2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.2.3) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801~en-mt.2.2) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.2.2) · Pramāṇa
