ABSTRACT

What follows is a quotation emphasizing the qualities of the arahat. Then comes the distinction between the two kinds of arahat. Then the whole process involving the ten kilesas and the seven sets applied to each of the ten is applied to the two arahats. In fact a is employed in each case to point out the oddity of the proposition. It is this circulating discourse which recurs for the next three ‘Points’ and is found in very similar form in the earlier discussion of an arahat’s falling away.
