2.72

Explanation: The fourth [part] clarifies the patience of non-arising. The text has three sections: first, designating the name and matching the stages; next, clarifying the removal of hindrances; finally, clarifying the scope of gathering and transforming. Regarding 'patience of non-arising', various explanations differ. Some say the imaginary nature (parikalpita-svabhāva) is named non-arising, because it lacks intrinsic entity. Others say that both the imaginary nature and the consummate nature (pariniṣpanna-svabhāva) are named non-arising, as in the *Saṃdhinirmocana* and the *Yogācārabhūmi*. Still others say that all three natures are named non-arising, namely non-arising by nature, non-arising by spontaneity, and non-arising of delusion and suffering, as stated in texts such as the *Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi*. As for 'distant, immovable, and contemplative wisdom', this matches the stages. The seventh ground is named Far-Reaching (dūraṅgamā), because one reaches the furthest limit of exertion. The eighth ground is named Immovable (acalā), because characteristics, functions, and afflictions cannot move it. The ninth ground is named Contemplative Wisdom, because one transforms sentient beings through the four unhindered understandings (pratisaṃvid).
