Chapter 4.3a - The Third: 叠补濒腻诲峁涐梗峁璱 (产补濒腻-诲峁涐梗峁璱)鈥擨ntroduction
Significance of the term 叠补濒腻:鈥�Bala means power, strength. 叠补濒腻 is its feminine form. Since the understanding possessed by the 产补濒腻 诲峁涐梗峁璱 beholder is much stronger than the previous two 诲峁涐梗峁璱s[1] , Haribhadras奴ri aptly has named it as 产补濒腻. The understanding of 产补濒腻 诲峁涐梗峁璱 is compared with the fire particles of wood.
The beholder of 产补濒腻 诲峁涐梗峁璱 is capable of practicing 腻蝉补苍补 鈥搕he third limb of P膩ta帽jala 驰辞驳补蝉奴迟谤补. At this stage the subject in question possesses a real love for listening doctrinal matters. Moreover, he is free from the fault of unsteadiness while performing yoga practices[2] .
