阿顛底迦 [a dian di jia]—(Ātyantika) — [Term] Ātyantika, translated as 畢竟 [bi jing] (ultimately/finally). It means ultimately without the nature to attain Buddhahood. It means ultimately without a good mind.

The first volume of the Essentials of the Vijñaptimātratā-siddhi-śāstra (唯識論樞要 [wei shi lun shu yao]) states: "The fifth nature has three types: the first is called 一闡底迦 [yi chan di jia] (Icchantika), the second is called 阿闡底迦 [a chan di jia] (Acchantika), and the third is called (Ātyantika). 一闡底迦 [yi chan di jia] (Icchantika) means having desire, because they desire samsara. 阿闡底迦 [a chan di jia] (Acchantika) means not having desire, because they do not desire nirvana. (Ātyantika) is called 畢竟 [bi jing] (ultimate/final), because they ultimately have no nature for nirvana."

Xuányìng's Pronunciation and Meaning of All Scriptures (玄應音義 [xuan ying yin yi]), Volume 23, states: "(Ātyantika) here means 畢竟 [bi jing] (ultimately/finally), meaning ultimately without a good mind."

阿顛底迦—【術語】Ātyantika,譯曰畢竟。畢竟無成佛之性之義。畢竟無善心之義。唯識論樞要上本曰:「第五性有三種:一名一闡底迦,二名阿闡底迦,三名阿顛底迦。一闡底迦,是樂欲義,樂生死故。阿闡底迦,是不樂欲義,不樂涅槃故。阿顛底迦,名為畢竟,畢竟無涅槃性故。」玄應音義二十三曰:「阿顛底迦,此云畢竟,畢竟無有善心也。」

[shù yǔ]Ātyantika, yì yuē bì jìng. bì jìng wú chéng fú zhī xìng zhī yì. bì jìng wú shàn xīn zhī yì. wéi shí lùn shū yào shàng běn yuē: “dì wǔ xìng yǒu sān zhǒng: yī míng yī chǎn dǐ jiā, èr míng ā chǎn dǐ jiā, sān míng ā diān dǐ jiā. yī chǎn dǐ jiā, shì lè yù yì, lè shēng sǐ gù. ā chǎn dǐ jiā, shì bù lè yù yì, bù lè niè pán gù. ā diān dǐ jiā, míng wèi bì jìng, bì jìng wú niè pán xìng gù.” xuán yīng yīn yì èr shí sān yuē: “ā diān dǐ jiā, cǐ yún bì jìng, bì jìng wú yǒu shàn xīn yě.”

[shu yu]Atyantika, yi yue bi jing. bi jing wu cheng fu zhi xing zhi yi. bi jing wu shan xin zhi yi. wei shi lun shu yao shang ben yue: "di wu xing you san zhong: yi ming yi chan di jia, er ming a chan di jia, san ming a dian di jia. yi chan di jia, shi le yu yi, le sheng si gu. a chan di jia, shi bu le yu yi, bu le nie pan gu. a dian di jia, ming wei bi jing, bi jing wu nie pan xing gu." xuan ying yin yi er shi san yue: "a dian di jia, ci yun bi jing, bi jing wu you shan xin ye."
