On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v1.c13.s2.7

v1.c13.s2.7

The last clause in the above passage is given according to the correction of the Ming editors. This makes the text to read *pu-tê-chêng-kuo* (不得證果), that is, “he could not realize the fruit”, viz-of arhatship. The old reading of some texts was *pu-shih* (不實) *chêng-kuo*, meaning “he quickly realized the fruit”. The D text has *pu-chêng tao-kuo*, which also means “he did not attain to arhatship”, and this is doubtles the author’s meaning.
