Distinction through questions and answers: since transformative [birth-and-death] is attained through three great kalpas, is transformative [birth-and-death] also attained by the rhinoceros-horn [pratyekabuddha] for a hundred kalpas? Answer: it is not attained. Because it does not take cognitive obscurations as a condition. If the retained body is assisted by sāsrava concentrated aspirations, it is subsumed under the fragmented body. Even if one allowed it to be assisted by anāsrava concentrated aspirations to induce fragmented [birth-and-death], what fault would there be in not allowing it? Because it is extremely superior, it is not subsumed under fragmented [birth-and-death], and those who are not transformative cannot do so. Its power to sustain the body for a long dwell by anāsrava is weak.
