釋摩訶衍論 5.8

5.8

已說顯示麁細所依門，次說本覺對治次第門。謂本覺智，根本無明為始、滅相為終，如其次第漸對治故。然此中斷，不捨無明以為其斷，非以斷除而為斷故。若爾，云何斷義成耶？謂斷煩惱心斷除不起故，是名本覺治道次第，如本若因滅則緣滅，因滅故不相應心滅，緣滅故相應心滅故。

Having explained the gate of revealing that upon which the coarse and subtle rely, next is explained the gate of the successive stages of antidotes by original awakening. This means that the wisdom of original awakening progressively counteracts them in order, beginning with fundamental ignorance and ending with the characteristic of ceasing. However, the severance here does not take the abandonment of avidyā as its severance, because it is not a severance by means of eradication. If so, how is the meaning of severance accomplished? It means that the mind of affliction is severed and eradicated so that it does not arise; this is called the successive order of the path of antidotes by original awakening, just as the root text says: "If the cause ceases, then the conditions cease. Because the cause ceases, the non-corresponding mind ceases; because the conditions cease, the corresponding mind ceases."
