大毘盧遮那成佛經疏 2.20

2.20

經云「祕密主！如是等我分，自昔以來分別相應，希求順理解脫」者。經中略與三十事，若隨類差別則有無量無邊。如人坐得四禪，即計此法為真實常理。或生是念：「我是得禪者。」如是等皆是我分相應，例可知也。皆由不觀我實相故，但從久遠以來相承祖習此見，各各自謂有大師薄伽梵、一切知見者，以善修瑜伽故，現覺此法，而為世間說之。唯此是究竟道，更無餘道。如劫初時，獨有一天先生梵界，而作是念：「若更有眾生，來與我共住。豈不善哉。」時有上界天命終來生此中，先生者即謂之言：「由我念力故，汝得生此。汝即我所生也。」然彼亦作是念：「是尊能生我等。」便相隨順，計為最初有我者。從是以來，謂是梵天王能造世間。如是展轉生於異見，不可勝記。希求順理解脫者，順理梵音瑜祇，即是古昔修瑜伽行者。謂彼得真解脫是萬物之宗，今順彼行希求解脫，故云然也。已上皆是破壞內外因果違理之心。次明最初順理之心，順善即是世間八心也。

The sūtra says: "Master of Mysteries! Such components of self have since antiquity been associated with conceptual discrimination, seeking liberation in accordance with principle." In the sūtra, thirty cases are briefly given; if categorized by their varieties, they are limitless and boundless. For instance, when a person attains the four dhyānas through sitting [in meditation], they immediately hold this state to be the true, eternal principle. Or they give rise to this thought: "I am one who has attained dhyāna." Such instances are all associated with components of self, and the rest can be known by analogy. They all stem from not contemplating the dharmatā of the self, but merely inheriting and customarily repeating these views from long ago, each claiming for themselves: "There is a great teacher, a bhagavat, an omniscient and all-seeing one who, having practiced yoga well, has realized this dharma in the present and expounds it for the world. This alone is the ultimate path; there is no other path." For example, at the beginning of an eon, a single deity was first born in the Brahmā realm and thought: "If only more sentient beings were to come and dwell together with me, would that not be fine!" At that time, a deity from a higher realm died and was born into this realm. The first-born deity then said to him: "Due to the power of my thought, you were able to be born here; you are indeed born of me." And the other also thought: "This venerable one can give birth to us." Thus conforming to one another, they conceived him to be the first possessor of a self. From then on, it was believed that King Brahmā was capable of creating the world. In this way, different views arose through succession, too numerous to record. As for "seeking liberation in accordance with principle," "in accordance with principle" in Sanskrit is *yogin*, which refers to ancient practitioners of yoga. They claimed that attaining true liberation is the source of all things, and now by conforming to their practices they seek liberation; hence it is described thus. The above all represent minds that destroy inner and outer cause and effect and contradict principle. Next, the first mind that conforms to principle will be explained: conforming to the wholesome refers to the eight worldly minds.
