Abstract
The Abhidharmamahāvibhāṣā argues on the basis of a sūtra which maintains that something is called mundane (*laukikī) because it changes and perishes. It takes up the question whether the noble path (āryamārga) is mundane so long as it is also conditioned. The noble path is never mundane. But the Abhidharmamahāvibhāṣā only presents the differences between the noble path and mundaneness, and it does not show any reasons for the differences.
