26.31

Regarding the verse-text, 'Some say that they know the first two and the fifteenth mind': this relates another master's explanation of what a solitary buddha's mind knows. The Nyāyānusāra says: 'Some say the rhinoceros-like knows four moments, namely the first two minds, the eighth, and the fourteenth. This statement is reasonable. Why? Having accepted that after knowing the minds of the first two moments, it knows the eighth mind separated by only five moments; if it further cultivates the preparatory application of the dharma category, the preparatory application should be accomplished after five moments, so why not accept that it knows the fourteenth moment? Others also say: It knows four moments, namely the first two moments of mind, the eleventh, and the twelfth' (thus ends the treatise text).
