37.21

第六、七覺。覺謂覺了。若依位說，即現觀自性如實覺慧，覺法自性。覺支自體即念等。七文中亦二：先別明念覺、後通顯餘六。然七覺分七皆自體，而差別者，覺為自體、餘六皆覺之分。謂念是所依支，由繫念故，令諸善法皆不忘失。擇法是自體支，覺自相故。精進是出離支，由此勢力能到所到故。喜是利益支，由心勇悅身調適故。猗、定、捨三是不染污支。猗即輕安，由此不染污故，謂由安故能除麁重。定者，依此不染污故，謂依止定，得轉依故。捨者，體是不染污故，謂行捨平等，永除貪憂，不染污位為自性故。總收七覺，不出三品：念通定慧、次三是慧、後三定攝。雖是前三，至此增故，依位所明能斷見惑，以為其果。又雖一剎那七法俱起，而隨行相各說功能，念除妄念，擇除不正知，餘除懈怠、惛沈、麁重、散亂、掉舉。上約通說。大乘七覺，不念諸法故、決擇不可得故、離進怠相故、絕憂喜故、除安心緣皆叵得故、性定之中無定亂故、亦不見於能所捨故。

Sixth, the seven limbs of awakening (bodhyaṅga): 'awakening' means awakening and understanding. In terms of stations, it is the wisdom of awakening to things as they really are—the intrinsic nature of direct realization—which awakens to the intrinsic nature of dharmas. The intrinsic nature of the limbs of awakening is the seven [factors] of mindfulness and so forth. In the text there are also two parts: first it specifically clarifies the limb of awakening of mindfulness, and later it generally reveals the remaining six. Although all seven limbs of awakening are their own intrinsic natures, regarding their distinctions: awakening is the intrinsic nature, and the remaining six are all parts of awakening. Mindfulness is the limb that serves as the basis: because of tethering mindfulness, it prevents all wholesome dharmas from being forgotten or lost. Discerning dharmas (dharma-pravicaya) is the intrinsic limb, because it awakens to their specific characteristics. Zeal is the limb of departure, because through its power one is able to reach what is to be reached. Joy (prīti) is the limb of benefit, because through the heart's brave delight the body becomes well-adapted. Pliancy (praśrabdhi), samādhi, and equanimity (upekṣā) are the three undefiled limbs. Pliancy is light ease (praśrabdhi); through it, one is undefiled, meaning that through pliancy one can eliminate coarseness and heaviness. Samādhi is that by relying on which one is undefiled, meaning that relying on samādhi, one attains the transformation of the basis (āśrayaparāvṛtti). Equanimity has undefilement as its essence, meaning that equanimity of disposition is impartial, permanently eliminating craving and grief, having the undefiled state as its intrinsic nature. Comprehending the seven limbs of awakening in sum, they do not go beyond three classes: mindfulness pertains to both samādhi and wisdom; the next three are wisdom; the last three are subsumed under samādhi. Although they are the preceding three, because they have increased at this point, as explained according to station, they take the capacity to sever the defilements of seeing as their fruit. Furthermore, although the seven dharmas arise together in a single instant, according to their active characteristics their functions are described separately: mindfulness eliminates errant mindfulness; discerning eliminates incorrect knowledge; and the rest eliminate laxity, torpor, coarseness and heaviness, distraction, and restlessness. The above is explained according to the shared [teaching]. In the seven limbs of awakening of the Mahāyāna: because one does not keep dharmas in mind; because discernment is ungraspable; because one is free from the marks of striving and laxity; because grief and joy are cut off; because the cognitive conditions of pacifying the mind are all ungraspable; because within intrinsic samādhi there is neither samādhi nor distraction; and because one does not see either that which abandons or that which is abandoned.
