36. Ālokalabdha
Then, those good men know the way of good conduct (cāritra) and dignified manner (ācāra). Here, the dignified manner means mindfulness (smṛti) and the good conduct means non-distraction (avikṣepa).
They obtain the light (āloka) being free from darkness (andhakāra). Here, what is called the darkness is the ignorance (ajñāna) of dharmas, and what is called the light is the unhindered knowledge (apratihatajñāna) of dharmas, thus those are called being free from darkness and obtaining the light.
