6.461

無行即無功用聖道現前，勝有行般用力方趣，故在有行般前，不能初生即斷煩惱速般涅槃，故在生般後說。此同俱舍無行為勝，不同雜心行般為勝。行般雖無速進道而有勤方便道名為有行，無行般人二修俱無名為無行，劣故後說。

Without exertion (anabhisaṃskāra) means that the noble path without effort appears directly. Since it is superior to parinirvāṇa with exertion, where one proceeds only through putting forth effort, it is placed before parinirvāṇa with exertion. Because one cannot, upon first taking rebirth, immediately sever the defilements and quickly enter parinirvāṇa, it is explained after parinirvāṇa upon rebirth. This accords with the Abhidharmakośa in taking the effortless to be superior, unlike the Saṃyuktābhidharmahṛdaya, which takes parinirvāṇa with exertion to be superior. Parinirvāṇa with exertion, though lacking the path of swift progress, possesses the path of diligent expedients, and hence is called 'with exertion'; a person of parinirvāṇa without exertion lacks both cultivations, and hence is called 'without exertion'—being inferior, it is explained later.
