The Buddha has no loss of the wisdom and the vision of deliverance.—[...] The fruit of retribution (vipākaphala) of these four things is twofold: i) vimukti, ‘deliverance’; ii) vimukti-jñānadarśana, ‘knowledge and vision of deliverance’. The meaning of vimukti has been defined above. As for vimukti-jñānadarśana, it is by using it that one understands the two kinds of deliverance, i.e., conditioned deliverance and unconditioned deliverance, and one also understands the other kinds of deliverance; occasional deliverance, non-occasional deliverance, deliverance of mind], deliverance by wisdom, twofold deliverance, destructible deliverance (bhedya-vimukti), indestructible deliverance, the eight liberations, the inconceivable liberations, the unobstructed liberations, etc. [...]”.

Abhedya) refers to “(that which is) breakable”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Son of good family, the morality of the Boddhisatvas becomes purified by these eight qualities. [...] Further, as for the purity of morality, [...] open space is all-pervasive, so is the morality; open space is uncuttable and unbreakable (abhedya—acchedyābhedyaṃ gaganam), so is the morality; open space is united in the sameness, so is the morality; open space is essentially beyond impurity, so is the morality. Son of good family, the morality in which the Bodhisattvas are established becomes like open space in such a way. [...]”.
