Second, explaining the second line. As for "Among the three kinds of medicine," and so on, this cites the text of the "Kauṇḍinya Chapter" of the Nirvāṇa [Sūtra] to substantiate the present meaning of impurity. Impurity, a mind of loving-kindness, and conditioned origination are called the three medicines; greed, anger, and delusion are called the three sicknesses. Principle and phenomena are distinct, hence medicine and sickness mutually exclude each other. Speaking here of impurity, its meaning follows this paradigm. As for "The Mahāsaṃnipāta states," it cites the true reality to substantiate original purity; Kauṇḍinya merely saw the lesser true reality.
