Yogācārabhūmi Śāstra, Volume 34 (89)

Original text: 彼于尔时。领受贪欲无余永尽。领受瞋恚无余永尽。领受愚痴无余永尽。彼贪瞋痴皆永尽故。不造诸恶。习近诸善。其心犹如虚空净水。如妙香檀。普为一切天帝天王恭敬供养。住有余依般涅槃界。度生死海。已到彼岸。亦名任持最后有身。

Explanation: At that time, when the arhat experiences the realms of the six sense objects, the greed that arises is forever eradicated without remainder; the anger that arises when experiencing the realms of the six sense objects is forever eradicated without remainder; the delusion that arises when experiencing the realms of the six sense objects is forever eradicated without remainder. Because greed, anger, and delusion have all been forever eradicated, he no longer commits evil karmic deeds, but cultivates and draws near to all wholesome dharmas. His mind is like empty space and pure water, and also like wondrous sandalwood fragrance, universally revered and worshipped by all the celestial lords and heavenly kings. He abides in the realm of nirvāṇa with remainder, has crossed over the ocean of saṃsāra and karma, and has already reached the other shore; this is also called sustaining the final body of existence.
