v2.c36.s3.21

xi The Ārya of the 4th Ārūpya (i.e. nevasamjñānāsamjñāyatana) obtains arhathood without the aid of the *magga*, This is a doctrine of the Mahīśāsakas. xii There are twelve viparyāsas, (see *Vyākhyā*, p. 454) of which eight are removed by *darśanamārga* and four by *bhāvanāmārga* (*Kośa*. v. p. 23 n.). xiii *Jñāna* is the same as dharmas which are good by nature (*svabhāvataḥ*), while *vijñāna* means those dharmas which are good by association (*samprayogataḥ*), i.e., associated with *jñāna* (*Kośa*. iv. p. 33 n. ix, p. 248 n). xiv Realisation of the four truths takes place all at once and not gradually² (*Kośa*, vi, pp. 185, 123).
