3.101
"A noble one not yet free from desire / Excludes two pure ones and one sex": this clarifies that for a noble one who is not yet free from desire, at most they also possess nineteen faculties; that is, those who have attained the first two fruits or are candidates for non-returning are called noble ones not yet free from desire. "Excludes two pure ones and one sex" explains the faculties that are excluded. If abiding on the path of seeing, they exclude the two pure ones of [the faculty of] having known and [the faculty of] one who fully knows. If abiding on the path of cultivation, they exclude the two pure ones of [the faculty of] knowing what is not yet known and [the faculty of] one who fully knows. "Excludes one sex" means excluding either the female or male faculty, because noble ones never have two sexes. Therefore, for a noble one in the desire realm, excluding these three pure ones, they may possess all the remaining nineteen faculties.
