As for the Commentary's 'The Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra states that suffering has one hundred and ten [types]', the one hundred refers to forty-four, which the treatise clarifies by progressive enumeration. First, it states: 'There is one suffering: the undifferentiated suffering of saṃsāra, because among all sentient beings there are none who do not have the suffering of saṃsāra. There are further two sufferings: first, suffering rooted in desire, which refers to the suffering produced when pleasant things alter or decay; second, suffering produced from the maturation of delusion, which refers to when one is touched by intense physical feeling, one grasps at oneself and what belongs to oneself with respect to one's own body, producing extreme lamentation out of foolish delusion and stupefaction, and by this cause and condition experiences the feeling of two arrows, namely the feeling of the arrow in the body and the feeling of the arrow in the mind. There are further three sufferings: first, the suffering of suffering; second, the suffering of conditioned existence; third, the suffering of change.' Next it says there are four sufferings, five has five sufferings, six has six sufferings, seven has seven sufferings, eight has eight sufferings, nine has nine sufferings, and ten has ten sufferings, together making fifty-five sufferings. Next, the treatise says: 'It should be known that there are further nine kinds of suffering: 1. All suffering; 2. Vast suffering; 3. Suffering of all gates; 4. Suffering of wrongful practice; 5. Suffering of saṃsāra; 6. Suffering of not according with desire; 7. Suffering of violation and injury; 8. Suffering of pursuit; 9. Suffering of all varieties.' Its first, all suffering, is opened into two sufferings: 1. Suffering produced by past causes; 2. Suffering produced by present conditions. Its second, vast suffering, is opened into four sufferings. The third, suffering of all gates, is also opened into four sufferings. The fourth, suffering of wrongful practice, opens into five. The fifth, suffering of saṃsāra, opens into six. The sixth, suffering of not according with desire, opens into seven. The seventh, suffering of violation and injury, opens into eight. The eighth, suffering of pursuit, opens into nine. The ninth, suffering of all varieties, opens into ten. This again makes fifty-five. Therefore, the two sections combined make one hundred and ten sufferings.
