斷惑者，謂欲界修惑有四，即貪、瞋、癡、慢。此是俱生細惑，任運起者障於修道。以難斷故分為九品，所謂上上乃至下下。此九品惑，二三果人斷之，斷至五品名二果向，斷六品盡名第二果。故《俱舍》云：「斷至五二向，斷六一來果。」

"Severing afflictions" means that the afflictions of cultivation in the desire realm are four: greed, anger, ignorance, and arrogance. These are innate subtle afflictions that arise spontaneously and obstruct the path of cultivation. Because they are difficult to sever, they are divided into nine grades, namely from the highest of the high down to the lowest of the low. These nine grades of afflictions are severed by persons of the second and third fruits: severing up to five grades is called approaching the second fruit, and completely severing six grades is called the second fruit. Therefore the Abhidharmakośa states: "Severing up to five is approaching the second; / Severing six is the fruit of once-returning."
