仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 2.243

2.243

The commentary states: 'All sentient beings' refers to all sentient beings across all realms, destinies, and modes of birth; though the transformation spheres of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas may differ, the categories of beings transformed by them are only these. 'All afflictions' refers to those of principle and phenomena that generate karma and moisten rebirth; all afflictions are auxiliary conditions that stimulate [rebirth]. 'Karma' refers to meritorious, non-meritorious, and other defiled or pure karmas, which are the causes for inducing rebirth. 'Vipāka-fruits' are indeterminate fruits induced by wholesome and defiled [karma]. When creating karma and experiencing its fruit, the times must differ; this difference between earlier and later is called vipāka ('different ripening'). The maturation of differentiation and so forth are distinguished as usual. Regarding the 'twenty-two faculties', as a verse says: 'Grasping objects, continuing lineage, sustaining life, experiencing fruits, and worldly and transmundane purification: faculties are established based on these measures.' 'Grasping objects' refers to the six faculties, the eye and so forth. 'Continuing lineage' refers to the two faculties of female and male. 'Sustaining life' refers to the life-faculty. 'Experiencing fruits' refers to the faculties of pain, pleasure, sorrow, joy, and equanimity. 'Worldly purification' refers to the faculties of faith, vigor, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom. 'Transmundane purification' refers to the three undefiled faculties: the faculty of learning what is not yet known, the faculty of knowing, and the faculty of having fully known. Furthermore, regarding their substance, a verse should conclude: 'Matter and non-associated [phenomena], primary mind and mental factors: seven, one, one, only ten; the substance and nature of the three correspond accordingly.' The lower two lines explain the four above. 'Seven' refers to the seven material faculties. 'One, one' refers to the life and mind faculties. 'Only ten' refers to the ten mental factors, namely the five feelings, faith, and so forth. 'The substance of the three corresponds accordingly' means the substance of the three undefiled faculties corresponds to the nine faculties and so forth. 'Nature corresponds accordingly' means matter and life are indeterminate, mind and the five [feelings] span the three [moral natures], and faith and the rest are solely wholesome. 'Do not go beyond the three realms' concludes what was clarified above, all being within the realms.
