Comm. NT: 7.
Dutiyamaggañāṇakathāvaṇṇanā

Here ‘change-of-lineage’ means ‘like change-of-lineage’;
for the knowledge that ushers in the [first] path is called that in the literal sense because it overcomes the ordinary man’s lineage and develops the Noble One’s lineage. But this is called ‘change-of-lineage’ figuratively because of its similarity to the other.
It is also called ‘cleansing’ (vodāna) because it purifies from certain defilements and because it makes absolute purification its object.
Hence it is said in the Paṭṭhāna, ‘Conformity is a condition, as proximity condition, for cleansing’ (Paṭṭh I 59).
But ‘next to change-of-lineage’ is said here because it is said in the Paṭisambhidāmagga that for the purpose of ‘overcoming arising,’ etc., ‘eight states of change-of-lineage arise through concentration’ and ‘ten states of change-of-lineage arise through concentration’ and ‘ten states of change-of-lineage arise through insight’ (Paṭis I 68–69), and it is given in the same way in this page.

Nyanamoli thera	23. When he has done so, and when, at the end of equanimity about formations, conformity and change-of-lineage7 knowledge have arisen in a single adverting in the way already described, then the path of once-return arises next to change-of-lineage.
