English	Their answer to this is given in stanza 46, “‘Only for a while,’ you say. ‘For it is certain that they have no craving that will make them take rebirth.’” The Shrāvakas retort that it is certain that they (the Arhats) will not take further rebirth by the power of their karma. For craving, which is the interdependent condition for taking existence, has been exhausted through meditating on the path of impermanence and so on. In answer to this, Shāntideva says (in stanzas 46 and 47), “This craving that they have indeed is not defiled; but why should they not have a craving that is like their ignorance? It is a craving that arises through the circumstance of feeling, and feeling, this they surely have.” In other words, although this craving in the continua of those whom the Shrāvakas consider to be Arhats is not defiled, nevertheless—just as it is explained in the Abhidharma that there are two kinds of ignorance, one that is defiled and one that is not defiled—in the same way, in the case of craving, why should the [supposed] Arhats not have two cravings, one that is defiled in the manner explained in the Abhidharma and one that is not [so] defiled? Accordingly, even if the path previously explained (the momentary discarding of the manifest craving elicited by the kind of self-clinging that is a grasping at an autonomous and substantial person) has occurred in the mind-stream of those beings, why should the latter still not have also a craving elicited by the view of the transitory collection that clings to the person as inherently existing? Those whom the Shrāvakas take to be Arhats do not realize emptiness; they do not abandon even the manifest ignorance of clinging to a feeling according to its characteristics. And through the[p.300]The Wisdom Chapter Fletcher, Wulstan, and Helena Blankleder (Padmakara Translation Group), trans.

For when the list of causes and conditions is complete, it is certain that the result will manifest.

Arhat - A person who has reached nirvāṇa by eliminating the three poisons of attachment, hatred and ignorance having followed the path of seeking individual liberation as a Śrāvaka or a Pratyekabuddha. An arhat, thus, is a person who has overcome the cause of rebirth in the cycle of existence and will not take an ordinary birth again. Skt अर्हत्  Tib དགྲ་བཅོམ་པ།  Ch 阿羅漢

Avidyā - Literally "unknowing," it refers to a lack of knowledge or misunderstanding of the nature of reality. As such, it is considered to be the root cause of suffering and the basis for the arising of all other negative mental factors. Skt अविद्या  Tib མ་རིག་པ་  Ch 無明

Abhidharma - Abhidharma generally refers to the corpus of Buddhist texts which deals with the typological, phenomenological, metaphysical, and epistemological presentation of Buddhist concepts and teachings. The Abhidharma teachings present a metaknowledge of Buddhist sūtras through analytical and systemic schemas and are said to focus on developing wisdom among the three principles of training. The Abhidharma is presented alongside Sūtra and Vinaya as one of the three baskets of the teachings of the Buddha. Skt अभिधर्म  Tib ཆོས་མངོན་པ།  Ch 阿毗达磨

Śūnyatā - The state of being empty of an innate nature due to a lack of independently existing characteristics. Skt शून्यता  Tib སྟོང་པ་ཉིད་  Ch 空;空門

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩

Ātman - Though it can simply be used as the expression "I" or "me", in Indian thought the notion of self refers to a permanent, unchanging entity, such as that which passes from life to life in the case of people, or the innate essence (svabhāva) of phenomena. Skt आत्मन्  Tib བདག་  Ch 我;灵魂
