Regarding the commentary's "dwelling in fruition-practice..." onward: third is distinctly explaining the antidote. "This resumes the sūtra..." onward is the commentary's explanation. The earlier intent clarified the path of teaching because effortless, non-discriminating wisdom can be expressed in words; the latter is in terms of the path of realization because it directly realizes tathatā. The path of realization has five parts: first, citing the treatise; second, from "this is in terms of..." onward, citing parallels to settle the matter; third, from "namely parting..." onward, clarifying the faults departed from; fourth, from "fruition-practice..." onward, explaining the sūtra's "fruition-practice"; fifth, from "dwelling in tathatā..." onward, re-explaining the treatise text. And there are two meanings: First, although the ālaya is cited, one takes only tathatā, because in the eighth stage the name ālaya is relinquished; hence the Vijñaptimātratā says, "Relinquished at the rank of arhat." Explanation: In the Mahāyāna, the eighth stage is equivalent to an arhat because of relinquishing delimited transmigration and exiting the three realms. Second, from "moreover, the Buddha stage..." onward, retaining the ālaya reveals that the translator of the treatise did not employ names skillfully. Because the eighth consciousness has many names, ālaya is restricted only to the mundane rank. Vipāka continues straight through to the end of the bodhisattva stages; although it is equally the eighth [consciousness], the name ālaya should not be retained. The different names of the eighth have already been seen above.
