Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraAviśuddha (अविशुद्ध) refers to “impure (food)”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 41).—Accordingly, “[The eighteen āveṇika-dharmas (‘special attributes’)]—[...] (1-2). The Buddha has no bodily or vocal defect.—[Question].—Why does the Buddha have no bodily defect (skhalita) or vocal defect (ravita)? [Answer].—[...] Furthermore, the Buddha has uprooted all the root causes of the wrongdoings: this is why he is faultless. [...] Another time Śāriputra had neglected the dietary rules and the Buddha said to him: You are eating impure food (aviśuddha-āhāra). Thus, therefore, [the Arhats] had bodily and vocal faults. But the Buddha who has eliminated the traces of the passions (kleśavāsanā) has no such faults. [...]”.
