'''Eighty-one discards of the path of meditation''' — according to the Higher [[Abhidharma]] tradition of [[Asanga]], which is found in his ''[[Compendium of Abhidharma]]'', for the [[Basic Vehicle]] there are eighty-one [[Discards|discards]] to be relinquished on the [[Path of meditation|path of meditation]] in order to reach the level of [[Arhat|arhat]]. Each of the [[Nine levels of the three realms|nine levels of the three realms]] are divided into greater, middling and lesser discards, which in turn are divided in greater, middling and lesser discards (for example the greater of the greater, middling of the greater, etc.). All together they make up the eighty-one discards. Depending on how many discards are relinquished, the [[Four results of the Hinayana path|four results of the Basic Vehicle]] come about.
