On the treatise passage, "Each one of these three... forming the distinction of three into nine": This clarifies the three-into-nine tripartite divisions. Dividing those who attain parinirvāṇa in the intermediate state into three is due to distinctions in faculties and afflictions. Their karma is the same, having an initiated existence without a produced existence. The three kinds of parinirvāṇa upon rebirth also have three forms due to faculties and afflictions, not due to karma, because they identically possess karma that initiates and produces. The latter three completely depend on afflictions, karma, and faculties. Faculties and afflictions are understood. Karma being threefold: the complete traverser has only karma to be experienced in subsequent lives for one birth; the intermediate traverser has karma to be experienced in subsequent lives to a moderately greater extent; the one who passes away in all places has karma to be experienced in subsequent lives to the greatest extent. Therefore, it is said that they are also divided into three kinds due to distinctions in karma to be experienced in subsequent lives. The concluding summary below is understood.
