大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 71.52

71.52

Regarding the Commentary's 'Because they generate defilements': the generation of the three defilements is suffering. Defilements subsume dormant fetters; dormant fetters are anusaya, which is the anusaya of the treatise, yet in the treatise it is under the first, 'mind', and therefore is not mentioned here. However, its category should not be placed before; it was mostly because the translator saw its meaning of 'nature' and thought it was anusaya, and thus analogized the before and after and named it anusaya, because 'nature' is equivalent to gotra and resembles a seed. But the treatise's earlier text lacks the meaning of the character 'nature'; the translator surely missed the intent of the treatise sūtra. Therefore, the present Commentary directly relies on the intent of the treatise in the present sūtra to explain it, and the meaning is exceedingly concordant.
