仁王般若經疏 2.94

2.94

"Between the first single thought-moment and the vajra-like final thought-moment, in the interim there arise inexpressible, inexpressible consciousnesses": this means that within saṃsāra, as ignorance conditions thoughts, thoughts give rise to the mind of arising and ceasing; hence it is called "inexpressible consciousnesses." This clarifies the causes that constitute sentient beings. "Constituting the form and mind of sentient beings" distinguishes the fruits. The text states "the root of sentient beings," concluding that the consciousness of the first single thought-moment is the root that constitutes sentient beings. Another explanation of the "first single thought-moment": this clarifies the beginning of the continuity; this is making beginninglessness the beginning. The "vajra-like final thought-moment" is, according to the Hīnayāna, the end of apportioned [saṃsāra], and according to the Mahāyāna, the end of transformational [saṃsāra]. From "Form is called the hindrance of form" onwards is the second part, which briefly presents the names of the five aggregates. From "'Hindrance' is..." onwards is the third part, explaining the names and interpreting them in detail. "'Hindrance' has the function of concealing and covering. 'Body' is named an accumulation": the conventionally designated body is formed by the five aggregates; therefore it is called an "accumulation."
