[169] **For whom there is no longing (paṇidhi) toward either extreme, for existence in this or that state, here or beyond:** "For whom" — for the Arahant whose taints (āsava) are destroyed. "Extremes": contact (phassa) is one extreme, the origin of contact is the second extreme. The past is one extreme, the future is the second extreme. Pleasant feeling (vedanā) is one extreme, painful feeling is the second extreme. Name is one extreme, form is the second extreme. The six internal sense bases (āyatana) are one extreme, the six external sense bases are the second extreme. Personal existence (sakkāya) is one extreme, the origin of personal existence is the second extreme. "Longing" is a designation for craving (taṇhā): that lust, passion … covetousness, greed, the unwholesome root.
"For existence in this or that state" means: for existence in this or that state — for kamma-existence, for renewed existence; for sense-sphere existence as kamma-existence, for sense-sphere existence as renewed existence; for form-sphere existence as kamma-existence, for form-sphere existence as renewed existence; for formless-sphere existence as kamma-existence, for formless-sphere existence as renewed existence; for existence again and again, for destination again and again, for arising again and again, for rebirth-linking again and again, for the production of individual existence again and again. "Here": one's own individual existence. "Beyond": the individual existence of others. "Here": one's own form, feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness. "Beyond": the form, feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness of others. "Here": the six internal sense bases. "Beyond": the six external sense bases. "Here": the human world. "Beyond": the world of the devas. "Here": the sense element (dhātu). "Beyond": the form element and the formless element. "Here": the sense element and the form element. "Beyond": the formless element.
**For whom there is no longing toward either extreme, for existence in this or that state, here or beyond:** for whom longing toward both extremes, for existence in this or that state, here or beyond, does not exist, is not found, is not obtained — it has been abandoned, cut off, stilled, tranquilized, rendered incapable of arising again, burnt up by the fire of knowledge (ñāṇa) — therefore, "for whom there is no longing toward either extreme, for existence in this or that state, here or beyond."
