仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 2.227

2.227

Commentary: Regarding 'capable of severing the three obstacles': as the sūtra states below, 'The seventh bhūmi severs the subtle active characteristics of karma and fruit; the eighth bhūmi severs all effort; the ninth bhūmi severs the obstacle to unobstructedness.' These are the three obstacles severed. Regarding 'the latent impressions of form and mind': they comprise both seeds and active manifestations, as explained extensively below. That is, regarding the obstacles to the knowable, on the ten bhūmis one eliminates a portion on each of the preceding six bhūmis; the heavy encumbrances of form and mind are the inferior grades of those obstacles, and thus these three bhūmis sever them distinctly. Hereafter, the third [part] concludes by stating the benefiting of others.
