The path of liberation for the saints
[31
The meaning is that those who have attained all six perfections are reborn as hell beings with these two qualities, but they are not reborn with these qualities in the imperfect state. The reason is that there is no possibility of the results that are the cause of the origin of these two qualities in the imperfect state of hell beings. Therefore, these two qualities are not found in their imperfect state.
Thus, having spoken generally about hell beings, the Uttar Sutra now speaks specifically about them:
And they are found in the first earth. || 81 ||
The hell beings who are in the first earth have the same possible qualities in their perfect and imperfect states as the general hell beings, there is no difference.
Now, to speak specifically about the hell beings who live in the remaining hells, the Uttar Sutra says:
From the second to the seventh earth, the hell beings are sometimes perfect and sometimes imperfect in the wrong view quality. || 82 ||
Except for the first earth, the remaining six earths are inhabited by beings with wrong view, therefore, both the perfect and imperfect states are mentioned in the first quality.
Now, to explain in which state the remaining qualities are found in those earths and in which state they are not found, the Uttar Sutra says:
From the second to the seventh earth, the hell beings are always perfect in the qualities of right faith, right wrong view, and un-controlled right view. || 83 ||
Beings who are in the right faith quality are not born in hell, because the right faith quality does not bind the hell body. In addition, a being who has already bound the hell body does not become reborn in hell after attaining the right faith quality, because it is not possible for a being who has bound the hell body to die in the right faith quality. Since it is not possible for a being with right wrong view to die at all in this quality, this quality is found only in the perfect state. Un-controlled right view beings are not born in the second and subsequent earths, because the causes for their birth in the remaining six earths are not found.
