The spiritual insight into the true nature of dharma-s, derived for<br> the first time in one’s samsāric existence, in the direct realization<br> of duḥkha-satya pertaining to the kāma-dhātu.  +
‘Characteristic of the conditioned’,. There are four of them, of the nature<br> of viprayukta-saṃsāra:jāti, sthiti,jarā, anityatā/vyaya. Together,<br> they render a conditioned dharma momentary (ksanika).  +
Ideationless attainment, one of the viprayukta-saṃskāra-s. <br>This is sought by the heretics who misconstrue that such<br> a state is final liberation.  +
Abandonment of defilement. This is not the destruction of defilement(as<br>no dharma can be destroyed as such), but rather the severing of the<br> prāpti from the serial continutity of the individual.  +
‘Five fetters pertaining to the lower portion’,i.e., to the kāma-dhātu.<br> They comprise: satkāya-dṛṣṭi, śīla-vrata-parāmarśa, vicikitsā.<br> kāmacchanda and vyāpāda.  +
The ‘I shall know what has not been known ’faculty; the first of three <br>outflow-free cognitive faculties which are:ājñātam-ājñāsyāmīndriya,<br>ājñendriya and ājñātāvīndriya. These three faculties, in their essential<br>nature, are constituted of manas, sukha, saumanasya, upekṣā, śraddhā,<br>vīrya, smṛti, samādhi and prajñā. These nine are differentiated as the three<br>distinctive faculties on account of the predominance that they exercise in the<br>darśana-mārga, bhāvanā-mārga and aśaikṣa-mārga, respectively. The<br>anājñātam-ājñāsyāmīndriya exercises predominance with regard to the<br>cessation of the darśana-heya defilements. In the acquisition of the fruit of <br>stream entry, it functions as the inductor (āvāhaka) of the visaṃyoga-prāpti,<br>and constitutes the path of liberation.  +
Unconditioned. There are three categories of unconditioned dharma-s<br>: pratisaṃkhyā-nirodha, apratisaṃkhyā-nirodha, ākāśa.  +
'Derived from the mahā-bhūta-s’ = bhautika-rūpa.  +
Non-manifest, one of the 14 synonyms for pratisaṃkhyā-mrodha in<br> the MVŚ.  +
