1.64

隨繫事各別者，明擇滅數量，謂擇滅隨所繫事，體各別故。且如三界九地，地地有九品煩惱，九九八十一品。斷一品惑，證一品擇滅，乃至斷八十一品，證得八十一品擇滅，故體各別也。又論云：「依何義說滅無同類（問也，擇滅體多，應有同類，依何義說擇滅無同類耶）？依滅自無同類因義，亦不與他，故作是說，非無同類（答也，依滅自無同類因義者，顯擇滅不從同類因生也。亦不與他者，擇滅亦不與他作同類因也。故作是說者，經依無同類因義，故作是說滅無同類也。非無同類者，顯擇滅有多體同類也）。」

"Each distinct according to the bound entity" clarifies the quantity of cessations through deliberation, meaning that cessation through deliberation is distinct in substance according to the entities that are bound. For instance, in the nine stages across the three realms, each stage has nine grades of afflictions, making nine times nine, or eighty-one grades. Severing one grade of affliction realizes one grade of cessation through deliberation, and so forth up to severing eighty-one grades realizes eighty-one grades of cessation through deliberation; therefore, their substances are each distinct. Furthermore, the treatise says: "Based on what meaning is it said that cessation has no homogeneous counterpart (sabhāga) (a question: since the substances of cessation through deliberation are many, they should have homogeneous counterparts; based on what meaning is it said that cessation has no homogeneous counterpart)? Based on the meaning that cessation itself has no homogeneous cause (sabhāgahetu), nor does it provide one to others, it is thus stated; it does not mean there are no homogeneous counterparts (the answer: 'based on the meaning that cessation itself has no homogeneous cause' shows that cessation through deliberation is not produced from a homogeneous cause. 'Nor does it provide one to others' means that cessation through deliberation also does not serve as a homogeneous cause for others. 'It is thus stated' means the sūtra speaks of cessation having no homogeneous counterpart based on the meaning of lacking a homogeneous cause. 'It does not mean there are no homogeneous counterparts' shows that cessation through deliberation has many substances that are of the same class)."
