[342] **"He does not declare purity even by virtue and vows" (sīlabbatenāpi na suddhimāha):** purity (suddhi), full purity (visuddhi), complete purity (parisuddhi) even by virtue (sīla); purity, full purity, complete purity even by vows (vata); purity, full purity, complete purity, release (mutti), deliverance (vimutti), complete release (parimutti) even by virtue and vows — you do not declare, you do not tell, you do not speak, you do not explain, you do not express. Therefore, "he does not declare purity even by virtue and vows."
