[122] **"Having abandoned self, not fashioning anything here" (attañjaho nayidha pakubbamāno):** "Having abandoned self" means having abandoned the view of self (attadiṭṭhi). "Having abandoned self" means having abandoned grasping. "Having abandoned self" means: whatever is grasped, misapprehended, adhered to, clung to, and resolved upon by way of craving (taṇhā) and by way of view — all that has been given up, disgorged, released, abandoned, and relinquished. **"Not fashioning anything here"** means: not fashioning a formation of merit (puññābhisaṅkhāra), a formation of demerit (apuññābhisaṅkhāra), or a formation of the imperturbable (āneñjābhisaṅkhāra); not generating it, not engendering it, not producing it, not bringing it forth — thus, "having abandoned self, not fashioning anything here." Therefore the Blessed One said:
The brahmin does not say that purity comes from another source —
not in what is seen, in what is heard, in virtue and vows, or in what is sensed;
unsullied by merit and by evil,
having abandoned self, he fashions nothing here.
