69.34

Regarding the commentary's "Among the seven distinct [phrases] above..." onward: Second is summarizing the antidotes to the hindrances, grouping the seven into three. The first has three phrases, while the second and third each have two phrases. As for the "four kinds of afflictions," the first is the fault of having practice and intermittent arising; the second is the fault of diligent upāya in purifying the stage; the third is the fault of diligent upāya in transforming sentient beings; and the fourth is the fault of subtle conceptualized practice. These four faults go from subtle to coarse; the antidotes taught in the sūtra proceed from coarse to subtle, and hence in the metaphors below they go from subtle to coarse.
