Visuddhimagga XXII-7

808. Tattha anulomaṃ saccapaṭicchādakaṃ kilesatamaṃ vinodetuṃ sakkoti, na nibbānamārammaṇaṃ kātuṃ. Gotrabhu nibbānameva ārammaṇaṃ kātuṃ sakkoti, na saccapaṭicchādakaṃ tamaṃ vinodetuṃ.

此中：随顺（智）能除覆蔽谛理的烦恼黑暗，但不能以涅盘为所缘；种姓（智）则只能以涅盘为所缘，但不能去那覆蔽谛理的黑暗。

Ñ(XXII,7): Herein, conformity is able to dispel the murk of defilements that conceals the truths, but it is unable to make nibbana its object. Change-of-lineage is only able to make nibbana its object, but it is unable to dispel the murk that conceals the truths.
