18.18

[On the passage of the] treatise, "[The commentary] says ... because their words lack authority": This clarifies the person who causes the schism. Fascicle 43 of the Nyāyānusāra says: "It must be a senior monk (mahābhikṣu); it is definitely not a householder, a nun (bhikṣuṇī), or the like, because their basis lacks majesty and virtue. It is only one whose conduct is based on [wrong] views (dṛṣṭicarita), not one whose conduct is based on desire (tṛṣṇācarita), because their unwholesome resolve is exceedingly firm and deep, and because they are agitated regarding both defiled and pure categories." Fascicle 116 of the Vibhāṣā is also of the same general meaning.
