疏「以是隨緣不失自性」者,如水遇風緣而成波浪,濕性不失。如來藏性雖成種種,而不失自清淨性。此中隨緣即是前經見有種種,此中不失自性即前業不知心等。對上問中,故云諸趣種種了不可得;對今經文,故云生即無生。生即諸趣,無生即不相知,躡上示生之句。經云此中即下八字,是不失自性。

Regarding the Commentary's 'because of this concordance with conditions, it does not lose its own nature': just as water meets the condition of wind and becomes waves without losing its wet nature, so the nature of the tathāgatagarbha, though becoming various kinds, does not lose its intrinsically pure nature. Here, 'concordance with conditions' is the prior sūtra text's seeing that there are various kinds, and here 'not losing its own nature' is the prior karma not knowing mind, and so forth. In contrast to the questioning above, it is therefore said that the various destinies are completely ungraspable; in contrast to the present sūtra text, it is therefore said that arising is precisely non-arising. Arising refers to the various destinies, and non-arising refers to their not mutually knowing, taking up the line above on manifest arising. When the sūtra says 'within this,' it refers to the following eight characters, which mean not losing its own nature.
