'Ten faculties ceasing' refers to when a hermaphrodite dies suddenly: the five faculties beginning with the eye, female, male, life, mind, and equanimity cease at the very end. 'Nine faculties ceasing' refers to a person of single sex dying suddenly: from the ten above, one—female or male—is excluded. 'Eight faculties ceasing' refers to a sexless person dying suddenly: from the ten faculties above, both female and male are excluded, because they are sexless. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.3.77) - [Next: 3.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.3.79) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823~en-mt.3.78) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.3.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.3.78) · Pramāṇa
