58.44

疏「一初句」下，釋第四邪見。諂謂為罔冐他故，矯設異儀險曲為性，能障不諂教誨為業。謂諂曲者為罔[曰/月]他，曲順時宜矯設方便，為取他意或藏己失，不任師友正教誨故。誑謂為獲利譽矯現有德，詭詐為性，能障不矯邪命為業。謂矯誑者，心懷異謀多現不實，邪命事故。釋曰：以上論文。明知此二皆虛似實。然此二惑，俱以貪癡一分為體。

Regarding the Commentary's statement: '1. The first phrase...' and so forth: this explains the fourth wrong view. Flattery (śaṭhya) means that, in order to deceive others, one feigns false deportment with tortuous deceit as its nature, having the function of obstructing non-flattery and resisting instruction. That is, a flatterer deceives others, deceitfully conforming to worldly expedients and falsely making up methods to win others' approval or hide their own faults, being unfit for the correct instruction of teachers and friends. Deception (māyā) means that, to acquire gain and praise, one falsely displays virtues with fraudulence as its nature, having the function of obstructing non-pretension and [supporting] wrong livelihood. That is, a deceiver harbors scheming intentions and displays much unreality due to matters of wrong livelihood. Explanation: The above is the text of the Śāstra. One clearly knows that these two are false appearing as real. However, both of these defilements take a portion of greed and ignorance as their essence.
