21.78

Explanation: There are four antidotes: 1. Abandonment antidote, which refers to the uninterrupted path, because it abandons afflictions. 2. Maintenance antidote, which refers to the path of liberation; this path can maintain the possession of analytical cessation, and what follows the uninterrupted path is called the path of liberation. 3. Distancing antidote, which refers to the path of excellence, because it causes the abandoned afflictions to become even further removed; what follows the path of liberation is called the path of excellence. 4. Aversion antidote, which refers to the path of preparation, because taking the truths of suffering and the origin as its objects, it generates deep disgust; what precedes the uninterrupted path is called the path of preparation. The author of the treatise sets forth their proper order as follows: 'First, preparation; second, uninterrupted; third, liberation; fourth, excellence.'
