2.244

Question: Among the twenty-two faculties, the first nineteen are with defilement and can therefore belong to being bound to the realms; the substance of the last three faculties is undefiled, so how is it that they do not go beyond? Answer: This clarifies the transformed by discussing the general characteristic; in reality and truth, the three faculties are not bound to the realms. Saying they 'do not go beyond' has two meanings: first, in terms of their seeds, when they have not yet produced manifest activity, based on the consciousness they depend upon, it is said that they do not go beyond. Second, in terms of manifest activity, all bodhisattvas prior to the non-learners of the two vehicles and equivalent awakening, though having six or seven undefiled manifest activities, judged from that which they depend upon, being vipāka and defiled, they also do not go beyond. From here, the second part clarifies the transforming bodies.
