Srāvakabhūmi has been termed as attainment of gotra (gotrasamudā. gamaḥ).
Here the author states that the Perfection of Deliverance through right vision and the Nirupādhisesa nirvāņa taken together are termed as the attainment of gotra (gotrasamudāgama).
This is followed by a classification of the above factors of nirvaņa.
(e) After this, marks of the pudgalas stationed in the gotra (gotra-stha) have discussed. The author specifically mentions that the marks of the gotra-stha pudgalas are diametrically opposed to those of the pudgalas not having the nature of parinirvāṇa.2
This is followed by a short description of the marks of the aparinirvāṇa-dharmaka pudgalas. The a-parinirvanadharmaka pudgala has been described to have the marks of —
(i) intense avidity (trșņā) in the worldly pleasures; (ii) carelessness to attain Nirvāņa; (iii) being possessed with suffering and shame; (iv) not heeding towards the instructions of Buddha
regarding the Four Aryan Truths in the three
time-passages; (v) being not renounced; (vi) the kušala karmans performed, pertaining mainly
to the worldly bhogas etc. and not aiming to attain Nirvāṇa.
