2.43

On the Śāstra's: "According to whichever faculties there are... the male faculty should exist": this first resolves their counter-objection. What the sūtra states about "not deficient in faculties" means that according to however many faculties belong to that level, they are fully possessed of all of them, and have none deficient. If the sūtra is explained in this way, what contradiction is there? If you allow that "not deficient" means according to whatever faculties exist, you would make it so that just as beings in the desire realm possess all faculties and are not deficient in faculties, so too in that higher realm the male faculty should exist.
