Why? [...] 9. When, by using the nine notions, the yogin becomes disgusted with the world and knows that the destruction of the five aggregates and the fact that they will not re-arise (apunarbhava) constitutes abiding and salvation, there is nirodhasaṃjñā, the notion of suppression, [the tenth of the ten notions]. [...]”.
