金剛三昧經論 2.107

2.107

The treatise states: This is the second round, eliminating the second doubt and revealing the evils to be remedied. Intending to clarify that the four characteristics of a single thought subsume all of saṃsāra, they therefore completely possess the five aggregates and have the fifty evils. How do the five aggregates possess the fifty evils? The aggregate of consciousness has eight, which are the eight consciousnesses; the two aggregates of sensation and perception each have eight, following the consciousnesses; the aggregate of formations has nine, eight being associated and one being unassociated; the aggregate of form has seventeen, making fifty in total. As for 'seventeen', there are the four great elements that produce, and thirteen that are produced: namely, the five faculties, the five sense objects, and the three kinds of form subsumed under the sphere of mental objects, as explained in the Prakaraṇāryavācā—namely, form of discipline, form of non-discipline, and form produced by the mastery of concentration. For now, following one approach, they are established as fifty. Such fifty are real evils, because all are transmigration that contravenes nirvāṇa, contrasted with that real goodness of nirvāṇa.
