Bhagavai 7:2:43-54
7.52 jīvā ņam bhamte! kim savvuttaragunapaccakkhāņi? desuttaragunapaccakkhāņi? apaccakkhāṇī?
goyama! jivä savvuttaraguṇapaccakkhänt vi, desuttaraguṇapaccakkhāṇī vi, apaccakkhāṇī vi.
pamcimdiyatirikkhajoņiyā maṇussä ya evam ceva. sesā apaccakkhāṇī jāva
vemāniya.
Are the souls, O Lord! sarvottaraguṇapratyākhyānīs-complete renouncers as undertakers of subsidiary virtues, desottaraguṇapratyākhyānīs-partial renouncers as undertakers of secondary virtues, or apratyäkhyänis-nonrenouncers?
Gautama! the souls are sarvottaraguṇapratyākhyānīs-complete renouncers as undertakers of subsidiary virtues, also desottaraguṇapratyakhyānīspartial renouncers as undertakers of secondary virtues and also apratyakhyānis non-renouncers.
Similar are the five-sensed subhumans and humans. The rest are apratyakhyānis non-renouncers...... up to the Empyrean gods.
~: 539:
7.53 eesi nam bhamte! jīvānam savvuttaraguṇapaccakkhāṇīņam appābahugāni tinni vi jaha padhame damdae java maṇussāṇam.
Among the souls O Lord! viz., sarvottaraguṇapratyakhyänis-complete renouncers as undertakers of subsidiary virtues, desottaraguṇapratyakhyänis-partial renouncers as undertakers of secondary virtues and apratyäkhyānis-non-renouncers, who are mutually the least in number, more in number, equal in number and slightly more in number? The description is like that of the first group (sutras 40 to 42. up to human beings).
Bhasya
1. Sutras 43-53
The sarvamalaguṇapratyäkhyana-complete renounciation as undertaking of the fundamental virtues is possible only in human beings. It is not possible in the subhuman beings. For this reason, the five-sensed subhumans have been described as desamulagunaprutyäkhyānis-partial renouncers as undertakers of fundamental
virtues.

Are the souls, O Lord! samyata-self-restrained, asamyata-non-self
