pratigha (hostility), bhavarāga (passion for gestation), māna (pride), avidya (nescience) drsti (wrong views), vicikitsa (doubt). Reducing kamarāga and bhavaraga to raga, one gets his list of six which he does not label anusaya, but which is the basic list of six anusaya in AK, Chap. V, lc-d.20 According to Asanga's list, these defiled traces (anusaya) are an expansion of the four kinds of asrava. The renditions of this term asrava in its Päli form asava by translators of scriptures in that language, namely (Mrs. C.A.F. Davids) "intoxicants", (Miss I. B. Horner) "cankers", and the like, appear to attribute to the word asava qualities that go with certain varieties, which prejudges the case. 21

The theory of flowing
First, the ancient Buddhist canon, the Samyutta-Nikaya I, contains in the Mära Suttas the question by one of Mara's daughters and the Buddha's response, about the five streams and the sixth; and the episode is in a Sanskrit version in the Mahavastu, III22; here the Palis:
"katham vihāribahulodha bhikkhu, pañcoghatiņno ataridha chattham/ katham jhayi bahulam kāmasaññā, paribähirä honti aladdhayo tam" ti // "passaddhakayo suvimuttacitto, asankhaiano satima anoko / aññāya dhammam avitakkajhayi, na kuppati na sarati na thino [/ "evam vihārībahulodha bhikkhu, pañcoghatiņno ataridha chattham/ evam jhayi bahulam kāmasaññāa, paribähirä honti aladdhayo tam" ti //
For the translation, instead of the Päli aladdhayo tam we should accept the Sanskrit alabdhagadha, supported by the Tibetan version gña' dag ma thob when the same verses are presented and commented upon by Asanga in Cintamayi bhumi in the Tibetan canon:
(Mära's daughter :) "How should a monk in his numerous states, having crossed the five streams, cross the sixth? How should a meditator who has not attained union (Pāli, *yogam,25 Skt. gādḍha) expel the abundant ideas of
desire ?"
(Buddha :) "With body cleansed and mind liberated; without instigation, mindful, and untroubled; knowing the doctrine (dharma) and meditating without constructive thought, passion does not stir, nor is he torpid.
