He is liberated in 2 ways, namely, by way of all 8 absorptions (jhána, q.v.) as well asby the supermundane path (sotápatti, etc.) based on insight (vipassaná, q.v.). In M. 70 it is said:''Who, o monks, is a both-ways-liberated one'? If someone in his own person has reached the 8 liberations(absorptions), and through wise penetration the cankers (ásava, q.v.) have become extinguished, such a oneis called a both-ways-liberated one.'' Cf. D. 15.In the widest sense, one is both-ways-liberated if one has reached one or the other of the absorptions, and oneor the other of the supermundane paths (cf. A. IX, 44).The first liberation is also called 'liberation of mind' (cetovimutti), the latter liberation through wisdom'(paññá-vimutti).The first liberation, however, is merely temporary, being a liberation through repression(vikkhambhana-vimutti = vikkhambhana-pahána: s. pahána).uccheda-ditthi: 'annihilation-view'; s. ditthi.udayabbayánupassaná-ñána: 'knowledge consisting in the contemplation of rise and fall', is the first of the9 insight-knowledges constituting the purification by knowledge and vision of the path-progress'.
