6.49

Second, examination, in two [parts]: first, explaining in terms of present attainments of non-Buddhists. Second, reducing them to not being fertile fields. Regarding "Possessing the sand and saline soil of [the delusions of] views and thoughts": this borrows worldly fields to explain the supramundane field of merit. The assertion of 'not being' means that there is only sand and saline soil, not a fertile field; thus persons of the two vehicles still possess the sand and saline soil of the delusions of dust and sand and ignorance. Lǔ means salty soil.
