(Continued from the previous page) ...it is because [such a bodhisattva] keeps [his] actual body through the power of sovereign freedom (*自在*, *vaśitā*). In order to reveal this meaning, the third proposition is established.
Regarding "The text: 'This relies on the general meaning,' up to 'as explained in the commentaries on the treatise [fascicle] nine' ": [Head note: From here below, [this section] relies on the explanation in the *Ryakusan* (*略纂*), fascicle four, folio twelve left.] The "four karmas beginning with black [*黒等四業*]" are as follows. First, black-black maturation karma (*黒黒異熟業*): this refers to non-meritorious karma (*非福業*), that is, the karma of the general retribution (*総報業*) of the three evil destinies and the karma of the specific evil deeds of the five destinies. Second, white-white maturation karma (*白白異熟業*): this refers to immovable karma (*不動業*, *āneñja-karma*), that is, all general and particular wholesome karma of the form realm and formless realm. Third, black-and-white maturation karma (*黒黒白白異熟業*): this refers to meritorious karmas (*福業*), that is, the general karma of humans and gods in the desire realm, and the particular wholesome karmas conducive to [rebirth in] the five destinies. Because wholesome [karma] is the adversary of unwholesome [karma], [this type of karma] is named "black-and-white karma." Since the black karma has not yet been eliminated, the meritorious karma receives this name. Fourth, neither-black-nor-white maturation-less karma (*非黒白無異熟業*): this refers to pure karma (*無漏業*), which permanently eliminates the three types of defiled karma beginning with "black," together with their maturation-seed tendencies (*異熟習気*). Regarding "[this is] as stated in the commentary (*論疏*) on the treatise, fascicle nine of the *Yoga* [*śāstra*]": this points to the annotation (*論抄*) on fascicle nine of the *Yogācārabhūmiśāstra*, which extensively discusses these four [types of] karma. Why does [the text] not say "annotation on the treatise (*論抄*)" but rather "commentary on the treatise (*論疏*)?" — because in this very chapter, [the text] sometimes says "as in the *Abhidharmasamuccaya* annotation (*対法抄*)" and sometimes says "as in the *Abhidharmasamuccaya* commentary (*対法疏*)." And so it is again here.
Regarding "The text: 'Among the cognitive obstructions,' up to 'suppressed at the eighth ground' ": What follows from here clarifies the karmic fruits generated by the cognitive obstruction. Within this, the discriminated karmic fruits have already been explained previously. This [section] now explains the innately arisen (*俱生*) karmic fruits. The innately arisen karmic fruits within the cognitive obstruction are distinguished in accordance with the positions of the ten grounds, and [one] gradually [Note: an alternate edition reads 別, "distinctly"] eliminates and abandons the obstructions together with the karmic fruits. Regarding "the elimination occurring on a separate path (*別道*)" and so on: The elimination of the substance of the obstruction occurs on the uninterrupted path (*無間道*, *ānantarya-mārga*), while the abandonment of the karmic fruits occurs on the liberation path (*解脱道*, *vimuktimārga*). Therefore [the text] says [these two occur] "on separate paths." The turning and abandoning (*転捨*) of the seeds of habitual tendencies (*麤重*, *dauṣṭhulya*) extends throughout [all] ten grounds. When the cause has perished [Note: an alternate edition reads 已, "already"], the fruit does not arise — this occurs only at the buddha stage. Regarding "suppressed at the eighth ground": Through the power of the preceding path,
【Lower Section】
[the practitioner] analyzes and suppresses the currently-manifested (*現行*) cognitive obstructions of the subsequent ground, causing them not to function — and this is what is called "suppression" (*伏*). From the eighth ground onward, which among the sixth and seventh consciousnesses still continues to function? Those associated with the sixth consciousness (*六識*) do not function at the eighth ground. [This is] because the two-fold-emptiness pure non-discriminating wisdom (*二空無漏無分別智*) and the mind [concomitant with it], together with the extinction concentration (*滅定*, *nirodha-samāpatti*) and the subsequently-attained [wisdom] (*後得智*) arising as its fruit, continue uninterruptedly and are thereby capable of counteracting the two forms of grasping (*二執*, i.e., grasping at a personal self and grasping at a dharmic self) of the sixth consciousness — hence [the sixth consciousness's associated afflictions] do not function. As for the seventh consciousness (*第七識*), it still functions at the eighth ground. [This is] because the wisdom of dharmic emptiness (*法空智*) and its fruit are precisely what counteracts the dharma-grasping of the seventh [consciousness]; whereas the wisdom of personal-self emptiness (*生空智*) and its fruit are coarse in their mode of apprehension and do not counteract [the seventh consciousness] — hence [the seventh consciousness still functions].
Regarding "The text: 'The division of the third and fourth obstructions,' up to 'explained in the *Vijñaptimātratā* chapter' ": "The four obstructions" refers to: (1) the slander of the Dharma by [those who are] *icchantika* (*闡提*); (2) the attachment to self by [those who are] outsiders (*外道*); (3) the fear of suffering by [those who are] śrāvakas (*声聞*); and (4) the abandonment of [the aspiration for enlightenment of others by] pratyekabuddhas (*縁覚*). Regarding the discrimination of the two obstructions, in the *Vijñaptimātratā* chapter there are two explanations. One [view] says: Among the four obstructions, the first two are discriminated (*分別*) affliction obstructions (*煩悩障*). Among these, the manifest activity (*現行*) of the first obstruction (*icchantika*'s slander) is suppressed at the sixth [stage of] faith among the ten [stages of] faith (*十信*), because [at that stage] the faith is non-retrogressive. The second obstruction (the outsider's attachment to self) is suppressed at the fourth dwelling, "noble-birth dwelling" (*生貴住*), among the ten dwellings (*十住*), because the bodhisattva at this dwelling has parted from the evil destinies. The seeds of these two are eliminated upon entering the first ground. The latter two are innately arisen cognitive obstructions: among these, the first obstruction (the śrāvaka's fear of suffering) is eliminated at the fifth ground, and the latter obstruction (the pratyekabuddha's [abandonment]) is eliminated within the sixth [Note: an alternate edition reads "seventh"] ground.
Another [view] says: The first two are seeds of the discriminated affliction obstruction, eliminated on the seeing path; the latter two are seeds of the innately arisen affliction obstruction, eliminated at [the stage of the] vajra[-mind] (*金剛心*). As previously explained.
The *Zuǎnshù* (*纂述*) says: [These] four obstructions are established in accordance with what [people] mostly give rise to. The first (slander of the Dharma) is a wrong view (*邪見*), or is [to be understood] as its name [literally indicates]. The second (attachment to self of outsiders) is mostly a discriminated view of self (*分別我見*), or it may extend to the innate [view of self] (*俱生*). These two are precisely the affliction obstruction, hence they fall under the category of grasping at self (*我執*). The latter two are precisely the discriminated attachments of the cognitive obstruction — namely, the aversion to suffering and the longing [Note: an alternate edition reads 欲, "desire"] for quiescence — hence they fall under the category of grasping at dharmas (*法執*). Although this interpretation exists, the positional sequence of suppression and elimination

is not yet clearly evident [in this interpretation]. Therefore the former [explanation] is superior.
Regarding "The text: 'Second, there are also four [types],' up to 'as stated above' ": "Independently-operating, unshared [ignorance] (*独行不共*)" is also called "master independently-operating, unshared [ignorance]" (*主独行不共*). This means [it] does not operate together with agitation (*忿*) and the like, and is eliminated only on the seeing path. Its [corresponding] entanglement (*纏*, *paryavasthāna*) is suppressed at the fourth dwelling among the ten dwellings. "Associated, unshared [ignorance] (*相応不共*)" is also called "non-master independently-operating, unshared [ignorance]" (*非主独行不共*). This means [it] operates together with agitation and the like, and extends to both seeing-path elimination and cultivation-path elimination. As for "following [either] discriminated or innately arisen [afflictions], etc." — the second [type of] associated, unshared [ignorance] follows the discriminated [afflictions] and also follows the innately arisen [afflictions], hence [the text] says "following discriminated and innately arisen [afflictions]." Some editions say "extending through discriminated and innately arisen [afflictions]," and that meaning is also acceptable. Regarding "entanglements (*纏*) and latent afflictions (*随眠*, *anuśaya*), etc.": The positional sequence of the suppression and elimination of the entanglements and latent afflictions belonging to the first [type of] independently-operating, unshared [ignorance] has already been explained in the relevant passage. The positional sequence of the suppression and elimination of the entanglements and latent afflictions belonging to the second [type of] associated, unshared [ignorance] is as stated in the two-obstruction section above.
Regarding "The text: 'Third, perpetually-operating, non-shared (*恒行不共*),' up to 'the explanation in the affliction obstruction' ": Regarding "perpetually-operating, non-shared [ignorance]" and so on: The *Shūyō* (*樞要*) [Note: lower fascicle, folio twenty-five left] lower fascicle says: There are two [types of] unshared ignorance (*不共無明*). The first operates together with the root [afflictions] (*根本*), perpetually functioning throughout all [mental] divisions, and [is called] "unshared" because it is absent from the other consciousnesses. The second [type] does not operate together with the root [afflictions] and is called "unshared." This [second type] further has two [varieties]: the first operates together with the small, medium, and great secondary afflictions (*小中大随煩悩*) but not together with the root afflictions, and is called "unshared." The second does not operate together with the small secondary afflictions or the root [afflictions], but operates together with the medium and great secondary [afflictions], and is called "unshared."
[Commentary:] Among the first two [types], the first is the perpetually-operating, unshared [ignorance]; the second is the independently-operating, unshared [ignorance]. Among the latter two [types], the first is the associated, unshared [ignorance]; the second is a subdivision of the associated, unshared [ignorance]. "A subdivision" means: excluding those associated with the ten [types of] minor secondary afflictions such as agitation (*忿*) and the like, and those associated with the root afflictions, [the remainder is:] namely,
【Lower Section】
the ignorance associated with the two categories of secondary afflictions such as shamelessness (*無慚*) and so on, and the ignorance associated with the eight great secondary afflictions such as agitation (*掉挙*, *auddhatya*) and so on. This is called "a subdivision of associated, unshared [ignorance]." Regarding "when entering non-defiled contemplation, [it] is also called suppression (*伏*), etc.": When entering the contemplation of dharmic emptiness (*法空観*), the ignorance of dharma-grasping does not manifest in activity — hence [the text] calls this "suppression." "The remaining three" refers to: the second [type of] associated [unshared ignorance], the third [type, which is the] entanglement (*纏*), and the fourth [type, which is the] latent affliction (*随眠*) — these three are "the remaining three." The above three [types of] unshared [ignorance] are as explained in the lower [fascicle] of the *Shūyō* and fascicle five [Note: (final) fascicle, folios two and thirteen right] of the commentary.
Regarding "The text: 'The division of the fourth and fifth obstructions,' up to 'suppression and elimination in accordance with what precedes' ": Regarding "once arising, then five in manifest activity (*現行*)" and so on: The five manifest activities are called "present arising (*現起*)," and the five seed-[states] are called "abiding grounds (*住地*, *vāsabhūmi*)." That is, these five types of manifest activity are the dwelling-places of afflictions, and hence are called "abode (*住*)"; or [alternatively], because [they] can contain and maintain the currently-manifested afflictions, they are called "abode." Hence fascicle forty-seven of the *Yogācārabhūmiśāstra* says: "Because of the meaning of containing and maintaining, they are called abodes." "Ground (*地*)" means "that upon which [they] depend (*所依*)." Among the affliction obstructions, the seeds eliminated on the seeing path are called "seeing-one-place [abiding ground] (*見一処住地*)." This is because [all of them] are eliminated at a single occasion, [namely,] [upon] seeing the truth of the four noble truths. Although there are nine grades [of afflictions] in the three realms and nine [meditative] levels, because [all of them are] eliminated at the single occasion of the true seeing path (*真見道*), the afflictions [thus] eliminated are called "[seeing-]one-place." Although there are [other afflictions such as] craving and the like, because seeing [afflictions] (*見惑*) stand as the head [foremost], seeing serves as the leading affliction — and [the fact that all of them] are eliminated at a single occasion is why [this category] is called "seeing-one-place." The cultivation-path afflictions of the desire realm are called "craving-of-desire abiding ground (*欲愛住地*)." The cultivation-path afflictions of the form realm are called "craving-of-form abiding ground (*色愛住地*)." The cultivation-path afflictions of the formless realm are called "craving-of-existence abiding ground (*有愛住地*)." Because outsiders (*外道*) mostly grasp at the formless realm as being nirvāṇa, [Note: the two characters 爲炎 are probably superfluous/erroneous] in order to provide an antidote against them, [this category] is specifically called "craving-of-existence (*有愛*)." Among the cultivation-path eliminations, craving serves as the foremost. Hence, although there are [also] conceit (*慢*) and the like, collectively they are all called "craving (*愛*)." All cognitive obstructions are collectively called "ignorance (*無明*, *avidyā*)." Although there are [also] views (*見*) and the like, because ignorance is the root [of them all], collectively [they are all] called
