v2.c33.s3.65
The Buddhists admit two kinds of *nirodha* one attained by means of knowledge (*pratisamkhyā*) and the other by complete removal of all impurities which cause rebirth, and not by knowledge (*apratisamkhyā*). The Mahāsanghikas hold that the latter is *paścād abhāva* (subsequent absence) of dharmas in virtue of their spontaneous destruction, which are not reborn.¹
