'To clearly reveal the meaning of sentient beings' merits and faults, eight faculties are established': this means that the three undefiled ones, and among the five \[faculties\] of faith, etc., are the aids to liberation (mokṣabhāgīya), which are merits; the five \[faculties\] of faith, etc., are the aids to merit (puṇyabhāgīya), and the defiled ones are faults. Alternatively, merits refers to the eight faculties; faults refers to what is severed by the eight faculties. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 15.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.15.57) - [Next: 15.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.15.59) - [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.15.58) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽論記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.16.33) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.15.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.15.58) · Pramāṇa
