It explains: The previous seven are stated in terms of the intrinsic nature of birth; the latter nine are stated in terms of place. Another explanation: Regarding the seventh, because it is free from defilement, it is called pure; because it is \[among\] ordinary beings, it is called impure, for initial birth forms a clause in contrast with bodhisattvas and the like. Regarding the ninth, because its substance is free from defilement, it is called pure; because one cannot see the truths in this place, it is called impure, for birth in a place forms a clause in contrast with states with opportunity. In 'the five such as not being insane', 'dismembering the limbs' refers to the Western practice when intending to burn a dead corpse: one hires someone to dismember the limbs before burning it, because it burns more easily. The 'pukkasa' mentioned below is precisely this person. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 15.166](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.15.166) - [Next: 15.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.15.168) - [Up: 15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.15) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829~en-mt.15.167) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽論記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.17.214) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.15.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.15.167) · Pramāṇa
