[786] **"Having dispelled all mental defilements (upakkilesa)"**: lust (rāga) is a defilement of the mind (citta); hatred is a defilement of the mind; delusion is a defilement of the mind; anger (kodha), grudge (upanāha) … all unwholesome volitional formations (sabbākusalābhisaṅkhārā) are defilements of the mind. **"Having dispelled all mental defilements"**: having dispelled all the defilements of the mind — having driven them out, having abandoned them, having removed them, having brought them to an end, having caused them to come to non-existence — hence, "having dispelled all mental defilements."
