18.45

"Without insatiability": in cultivating all wholesome deeds, the intention has no sated exhaustion, demonstrating distinction from the two vehicles who take little as sufficient; this is desiring without greed. Commentary: "Thinking that..." and below directly explains the treatise's meaning, as can be known. This is identical to the second tempering among the three temperings in *Vijñaptimātratā*. Apratiṣṭhita's verse says: "Having already spent many kalpas in evil destinies, / You were still able to surpass unprofitable toil; / Undergoing slight austerities to attain bodhi, / For such great benefit, you should not give rise to retrogression or faintheartedness."
