(4) Sasaṅkhāraparinibbāyi, *i.e.*, those who attain parinibbāna by putting an end to kilesas with great trouble and great effort (dukkhena kasirena adhimattaṃ payogaṃ katvā).⁹ The *Kośa* explains it as those who attain Nirvāṇa without relaxing the exercises because they are energetic. The *Aṅguttara Nikāya* explains it as those who look upon the body as evil (asubha), food as loathsome and all constituted things as disgusting. They cogitate on the transitoriness of things and death, and make their minds steady. They develop greatly the five balas and five indriyas.¹
