Explanation in English from Ācārya Pūjyapāda’s Sarvārthasiddhi:
If some afflictions only occur to the saints in the tenth stage, etc., to whom do all of these occur?
The word ‘sāmparāya’ means passions (kaṣāya) and ‘bādara’ means gross. The ascetic with gross passions is called ‘bādarasāmparāya’. This is not a specific stage in spiritual development. The term, ‘gross passions’, indicates the meaning. This term includes ascetics from the sixth stage up to the ninth stage–pramattasaṃyata, apramatta-saṃyata, apūrvakaraṇa, and anivrttibādarasāmparāya. As the passions (kaṣāya) have not been destroyed in their case, all the afflictions occur to them. In what types of conduct do all the afflictions occur? All the afflictions occur to those of the first three types of conduct, namely, sāmāyika, chedopasthapanā and parihāraviśuddhi (see sūtra 9-18).
