6.19

Question: Phenomena of training (śaikṣa) and no-further-training (aśaikṣa) encompass both sāsrava and anāsrava; why are the latter two [faculties] solely anāsrava and do not encompass sāsrava? Answer: The faculties are established on the basis of their predominant function (adhipati); in the realization of the truths, sāsrava is not predominant. According to Fascicle Ten of the Abhidharmasamuccayavyākhyā, the latter two also encompass both sāsrava and anāsrava: the [faculty of] having known includes grief (daurmanasya), while the [faculty of] one who fully possesses knowledge excludes grief; therefore, saying here that they are anāsrava is based on their predominance. If so, the initial faculty should not encompass sāsrava. Answer: Among pṛthagjanas, this is predominant.
