c8.s5.9
He sees many Buddhas, hears their discourses, and follows their directions. He comprehends that all dharmas are non-transmigrating, non-decaying and are only subject to cause and condition. The fetters of Kāma, Rūpa, Bhava and Avidyā become weak, those due to wrong views (micchādiṭṭhi) having been already destroyed. He gets rid of rāga, dveṣa and moha, and the following āśayas are purified: kṣāntisauratya (forbearance with gentleness), akhilya-mādhurya (sweetness without hindrance), akopya (non-anger), akṣubhita (non-agitation), alubhita (non-covetousness) anunāmāvānāma (non-elation and non-depression), sarvakṛtaprakṛtānāṃ niṣkāṅkṣā (non-desire for remuneration for works done), asāthyamāyāvitā (non-deceit) and agahanatā (non-mysteriousness). Of the four saṃgrahavastus, he increases arthacaryā in a great measure, and of the ten pāramitās he improves kṣāntipāramitā, but not the rest.
