仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 3.427

3.427

The commentary explains: Regarding "from the initial practice of kṣānti," this cites the very beginning. Regarding "up to the vajropama-samādhi," this cites the very end. Setting forth the beginning and the end clarifies their suppression. As for what is called "suppression," it is as stated elsewhere: the mundane path is called suppression, suppressing the active manifestations of afflictions; the noble path is called eradication, severing the seeds of afflictions. The suppression in this bhūmi combines the former two paths, both being called suppression. In the stage of suppressing kṣānti one suppresses through the mundane path; prior to the vajropama-samādhi one suppresses through the noble path. As for the so-called two obstacles, although the coarse grades are absent, because the seeds of those subtle ones are not yet severed, it is therefore said to be suppression. Just as in the Awakening of Faith, severing the branch-and-root ignorance prior to the consciousness of manifestation is also collectively called eradication, but in view of fundamental non-enlightenment it is called suppression. As the Benji says: 'From the initial ten faiths up to the vajropama-samādhi, because the ālayavijñāna has not been severed and remains for a single kṣaṇa, it is therefore said to be suppressing all afflictions.' From here, the second specifically clarifies severance and eradication.
