3.32

"Now proceeding from the distinct sense": Poisonous affliction is the general name; afflictions and so forth are the distinct designations. "Opening the three and revealing the one": The three are the provisional, and the one is the real. "Is also like this": Because all three cycles are named opening the provisional and revealing the real, by analogy, in the present sūtra the three dhāraṇīs are generally named eliminating and subduing poisonous afflictions. From "Adding further" below: That is, the first cycle is named the exposition in terms of Dharma, the second cycle is named the exposition in terms of parables, and the third cycle is named the exposition in terms of past causal conditions; by analogy, of the three dhāraṇīs in the present sūtra, the first is named afflictions, the next is named destroying karma, and the latter is named destroying retribution.
