345.2
pravṛttyanantarās tarhi doṣāḥ parīkṣyantām ity ata āha ---
Then let the defects, which follow immediately after activity, be examined. To this [the author] says:
345.3
tathā doṣāḥ ||
NyS 4.1.2: Likewise the defects.
345.4
parīkṣitā iti/ buddhisamānāśrayatvād ātmaguṇāḥ, pravṛttihetutvāt punarbhavapratisandhānasāmarthyāc ca saṃsārahetavaḥ, saṃsārasyānāditvād anādinā prabandhena pravartante, mithyājñānanivṛttis tattvajñānāt tannivṛttau rāgadveṣaprabandhocchyede 'pavarga iti/ prādurbhāvatirodhānadharmakā ityevamādyuktam doṣāṇām iti//2//
[That is,] they have been examined. Because they share the same substrate as cognition, they are qualities of the self; because they are the cause of activity and possess the power to connect [the self] with rebirth, they are causes of saṃsāra; because saṃsāra is beginningless, they operate in a beginningless series; the cessation of false knowledge comes from the knowledge of reality, and upon its cessation, liberation occurs through the severance of the series of attachment and aversion. It has thus already been said that defects have the property of appearing and disappearing, and so forth.
