[175] **"By what here in the world could one construe him?"** — *Construings (kappa)*: there are two construings — construing through craving (taṇhā) and construing through view (diṭṭhi) … this is construing through craving … this is construing through view. For him, construing through craving has been abandoned and construing through view has been relinquished. Because construing through craving has been abandoned, because construing through view has been relinquished — by what lust could one construe him, by what hatred could one construe him, by what delusion could one construe him, by what conceit could one construe him, by what view could one construe him, by what restlessness could one construe him, by what doubt could one construe him, by what latent tendencies (anusaya) could one construe him — as "lustful," or as "hating," or as "deluded," or as "bound," or as "adhering," or as "gone to distraction," or as "not gone to a conclusion," or as "gone to obstinacy"? Those volitional formations (abhisaṅkhārā) have been abandoned; because the volitional formations have been abandoned, by what could one construe his destinations (gati) — as "a hell-being," or as "one of the animal realm," or as "one of the realm of hungry ghosts," or as "a human," or as "a deva," or as "one having form," or as "formless," or as "percipient," or as "non-percipient," or as "neither percipient nor non-percipient"? There is no cause, there is no condition, there is no reason by which one could construe him, construe him variously, or come to construing. **"In the world"**: in the world of woe, the human world, the deva world, the world of aggregates (khandha), the world of elements (dhātu), the world of sense bases (āyatana). Thus: "By what here in the world could one construe him?" Therefore the Blessed One said:
[Note 1: The Po. and Ma. editions read *anabhinivesantanti*.]
For him there is here no perception (saññā) construed —
not even a subtle one — regarding what is seen, heard, or sensed;
that brahmin who does not take up any view —
by what here in the world could one construe him?
