Sūtra translation

But in the case of fall there is the absolute non- clinging (as welt as destruction) of the other (i.e., merit) also of the other.

In the same manner, there is the absolute non-cling- ing (as well as destruction) of merit (in the case of him) who falls. The term * But1 indicates (the fall) from which there is no rising up again. This is said in the Agneya : “ Just as the non-clinging and destruction take place of the evil wofks of him who goes to heaven, so do they take place of the good works also of him that falls down into Tamas”
