釋摩訶衍論 5.13

### [5.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.5.13)

已說總標綱要門，次說立名略示門。於此門中即有二門。云何為二？一者淨真法相門、二者染妄法相門。所言真者，自性清淨本覺藏智。所言妄者，離脫體相本上無明。染妄門中即有三種。云何為三？一者無明、二者業識、三者境界。一真三妄如是四法，能作熏事本數名字。今此文中舉一，後有并兼中有，應審觀察。所以者何？一切染法皆悉有熏習之事故，如本云何為四？一者淨法名為真如、二者一切染因名為無明、三者妄心名為業識、四者妄境界所謂六塵故。

> Having explained the gate of generally presenting the essentials, next is the gate of briefly setting forth the designations. Within this gate there are two gates. What are the two? First, the gate of the characteristics of pure, true phenomena; second, the gate of the characteristics of defiled, deluded phenomena. That which is termed 'true' is the naturally pure storehouse wisdom of original awakening. That which is termed 'deluded' is the original avidyā divorced from the essence and its characteristics. Within the gate of defiled, deluded \[phenomena\], there are three kinds. What are the three? First, avidyā; second, karmic consciousness; third, objective realms. These four phenomena—one true and three deluded—are the primary list of names that can perform the function of perfuming. In the present text, by raising the first, the subsequent ones are included, and the middle ones are also encompassed; one should examine this carefully. Why is this? Because all defiled phenomena are matters of perfuming, as in the root \[text\]: 'What are the four? First, the pure phenomenon, termed tathatā; second, the cause of all defilements, termed avidyā; third, the deluded mind, termed the karmic consciousness; and fourth, the deluded objective realms, namely the six sense objects.'
