leads forth and generates. Therefore it says "because it is led forth and generated depending on the power of previous defilement-purity."
The text "The middle three minds... many or few are indefinite" - "The middle three minds mostly explain about mentation" means within one mentation there is already no simultaneous arising, so many or few are not distinguished. If one permits the five consciousnesses to arise within the stages of seeking and decision, then many or few follow the previous [explanation]. If in the fruition stage, following whatever minds one possesses, because they are complete in one moment, all can arise simultaneously. The remaining text can be understood.
The text "Eighth: various stages... definitely have sudden arising" - "This explains the five minds, etc." means to complete the five minds in the causal stage, one must depend on encountering new objects. If encountering old objects, there are only the three minds from decision onward. "Because one moment does not continue" means from seeking onward, one often obtains continuation. If other conditions seize [the mind], it may also be one moment, therefore it says "because one moment does not continue." "There is no having only seeking without arising sudden arising" - this speaks about encountering new objects. If when encountering new objects and giving rise to seeking, sudden arising must first occur, then seeking follows. If encountering old objects, there may be only seeking without arising sudden arising, therefore the previous text says "Having seen form-images, one again observes various forms. Because one has already seen them before, sudden arising does not occur, or seeking arises again, leading forth and generating decision." Therefore it is known that regarding previously old objects, there is arising only seeking without arising sudden arising.
The text "Among the five consciousnesses... therefore there are only four" - "Because Yogācāra explains" means Yogācāra Volume 3 says "Also, after one moment of the five consciousnesses arises, immediately following this, mentation necessarily arises." "Mentation" here means seeking. "Not the remaining consciousnesses" distinguishes the autonomous stage - the equal-flow of the five and six [consciousnesses]. If in the autonomous stage, though sudden arising occurs, decision happens spontaneously without depending on seeking. Therefore this is distinguished. Master Wŏnhyo

says: Even in the non-autonomous stage, there can be only sudden arising without seeking mind. What does this mean? If sudden arising mind objectifies familiar objects, immediately after this mind, decision mind arises. As the Yogācāra says "The mentation arising immediately after the five consciousnesses is either seeking or decision." Therefore it is known that seeking mind does not necessarily arise, as in the Golden Drum Commentary.
The text "Three vehicles generally discussed... as already explained before" - "Having all five in the uncontaminated [state], etc." means causal uncontaminated mind has aspiration, therefore has seeking. "Namely the principle of various moments, etc." means within the uncontaminated stage, it is uniformly wholesome without having the principle of transformation among the three natures. The five minds are not explained; only various moments are separately explained as existing according to principle, not arising in sequence.
The text "Ninth: three natures... encompassed by the three natures" - "The first three minds are neutral, etc." means this depends on naturally arising in sequence according to objects. Because of this principle, Consciousness-Only also says "The sudden arising mind of those not yet transformed is definitely neutral." If objects are strong and superior, the five minds of various consciousnesses arising together all pervade and are encompassed by the three natures, as when hearing sounds in concentration, the sudden arising of mentation simultaneous with the ear is wholesome, etc. Question: The first three being neutral - among the four neutrals, which neutral encompasses them? Master Zhuang says: Among the four neutrals, only matured [karma] and deportment, not skill and penetrative result. Skill and transformation objectify unfamiliar objects. Also, those two minds can only arise after reaching equal-flow mind.
The text "If in the uncontaminated stage... all are mostly wholesome" - saying "mostly" means the meaning of "all," not distinguishing from few

therefore named "mostly." Therefore the Compilation says "all are wholesome."
The text "Tenth: conditioned arising... its meaning is definite" means many consciousnesses lead forth and generate one consciousness, one consciousness leads forth and generates many consciousnesses, mutually serving as conditions for arising immediately, therefore it is called "immediately arising." It does not take the immediately preceding condition because they are not equal. Now saying "immediate" - if discussing in terms of moments, it is the immediacy of later arising. If discussing mutual generation, this is simultaneity immediacy. Since consciousness is like this, various minds are also thus. Therefore it says "many sudden arisings lead forth the arising of one consciousness's seeking mind, etc."
The text "Permitting one consciousness one... because they arise in one moment" - "Obtaining many consciousnesses leading minds to arise in one moment" - some versions say "many consciousnesses many minds." However, the Compilation changes this text saying "Also permitting one consciousness one mind to arise in one moment with many consciousnesses' different minds." Therefore now following the Compilation's meaning, "obtain" is the character "with," "lead" is the character "different." Perhaps this is later people mistakenly copying "obtain-lead."
The text "Based on this principle... wise ones should contemplate" - "Various consciousnesses can complete the five minds in one moment, etc." means in one moment, eye-consciousness is sudden arising, ear-consciousness is seeking, nose-consciousness is decision, tongue-consciousness is defilement-purity, body-consciousness is equal-flow, arising simultaneously. When newly encountering eye-objects, the rest are all old objects. At that time, what should mentation be called? Named according to predominant increase, or can all be named? Namely, objectifying eye-objects is named sudden arising, up to objectifying touch is named equal-flow mind. As in the fruition stage completing four in one moment, this is also like this. The reason is that objects have new and old, so what is led forth and generated differs.
The text "Eleventh: what... non-worldly objects" - "The four minds in fruition objectifying three-time objects" means in Buddha-

ground and Consciousness-Only there are two masters' interpretations. The first master says "Accomplishment [wisdom] only objectifies five kinds of present objects, etc." The second master says "Also able to universally objectify dharmas of the three times." Now this first interpretation corresponds to that second one. It only objectifies conditioned dharmas of the three times, not objectifying unconditioned dharmas. This means Accomplishment [wisdom] has no Direct Wisdom - this is Dharmapāla's correct interpretation. "Also objectifying non-worldly objects" - in the Consciousness-Only chapter, describing two interpretations it says "Accomplishment [wisdom] is only conventional, active, objectifying the shallow. Or it also penetrates the real because it is autonomous and complete." The first is Dharmapāla's interpretation, the latter is other masters' interpretation. Saying "there is an interpretation" here corresponds to that second one. Unconditioned dharmas do not fall within the three times, therefore called "non-worldly." Since it is autonomous and complete, why would it not objectify the real? Therefore it says it objectifies non-worldly objects.
The text "Seventh: causal stage... and non-worldly objects" - "Object-support objects" briefly indicates one. If speaking completely, object-support and reflection-image are only present objects. "Aspects" means the aspects of the grasped self. "Non-worldly objects" has two [meanings]. The real self grasped in the un-transformed stage is called non-worldly objects. The principle of selflessness in the transformed stage is also called non-worldly objects. Now saying "fruition stage" reveals the various stages from transformation onward.
The text "Eighth: cause and effect... and non-worldly objects" - "In fruition, universally objectifying worldly and non-worldly objects" - Question: The mind-king within Perfect Mirror Wisdom universally objectifying true-conventional real objects - this principle is beyond doubt. It is not yet known: do the five mental factors also objectify real objects? Answer: The objects of true wisdom have no distinction between provisional and real. Therefore king and associates both obtain real objects. The objects of conventional wisdom have provisional-real differences. Therefore the king obtains the real, while mind-
