下七復次廣以合之,七中前五明如詐親,後二明過。前中,初一不覺害人;第二明其常伺人便;第三覆心令無見聞。「見不見」者,凡夫二乘見生死過,以愛覆心還復不見。「聞不聞」者,聞大菩提功德福利,以愛覆心還復不聞。第四明其無善詐現;第五明其相虛無實。後二過中,初一明其始終難離,後一明其遠近難知。

Below, seven points expand upon the application. Among the seven, the first five explain how it is like a false friend, and the latter two explain how it surpasses [him]. In the former, the first [shows that] it harms people without their realizing it; the second explains that it constantly spies for an advantage over people; the third [shows that] it obscures the mind so that there is no seeing or hearing. Regarding "seeing yet not seeing": ordinary persons and [followers of] the two vehicles see the faults of saṃsāra, yet because craving obscures their minds, they turn back and do not see them. Regarding "hearing yet not hearing": they hear of the merits and beneficial advantages of great bodhi, yet because craving obscures their minds, they turn back and do not hear of them. The fourth explains that lacking goodness, it falsely feigns it; the fifth explains that its characteristics are empty and devoid of reality. Among the latter two [explaining its] surpassing, the first explains that from beginning to end it is hard to leave, and the latter explains that whether far or near, it is hard to know.
