8. What are the factors that purify the Pāramī?

To the question: “What are the factors that purify the Pāramī?” the answer is: not being destroyed or spoilt by craving, conceit, and wrong view, and (as has been stated above) not having thoughts of discrimination between gifts and between recipients, form the cause of purification of the Pāramī.

True, the Pāramī are pure only when not tainted by defilements such as craving, conceit, wrong view, etc., and are devoid of discriminating thoughts of the quality of gifts and recipients.
