4.104

Resolving objections: on "these escapes definitely can escape all ill will and so forth": this means there is an objection saying: cultivating the six, benevolence and the rest, definitely escapes the six antidoted states such as ill will; why was it said earlier that 'therefore, benevolence and the rest are not the direct antidotes to ill will, harmfulness, and so forth'? Now it is explained: when the cultivation of these escapes reaches completion, they definitely can escape all ill will and so forth; but at the time of the earlier preparatory stage, because they are not well cultivated, faults like ill will may still actively manifest; therefore it was previously said that they are not direct antidotes.
