5.6
"All avidyā" refers to the avidyā of the entire realm; it subsumes all of the two obscurations, views, and thoughts, hence it is called "all." From the initial delusion regarding reality, it follows sentient beings, never departing from arising and ceasing; hence the text above says "falsely arising through combination, falsely dying through combination," which is why it says "ceased and arisen together." Although trainees of the first fruit have not severed thought, they are already said to have broken the affliction-obscuration and attained realization of personal emptiness; yet they have completely failed to break the cognitive obscuration, and attachment to dharmas still persists, which is why it says "still like those with quartan malaria."
