2.7

此除色聲八，無記餘三種者，三性分別門。此十色中，除色、聲二，所餘八種是無記性。無記二字，義屬上句。餘謂色聲，是通三性。言三性者，一善、二不善、三無記。若法可讚置白品中，名為善性；若法可毀置黑品中，名為不善性；非可讚毀，名為無記。亦解：不能記異熟果，故名無記。眼等八種不可記為善、不善性，是無記攝。若色、聲二，從善心力等起身語表攝，是名為善性；若從不善心力等起身語表攝，名為不善；從無記心等起身語表攝，名為無記。及不從心等起，總名無記。言色聲二者，身表是色，語表是聲。言等起者，心王、心所等能引起。由色、聲二非自性善惡，約能發心判成善惡。心若是善，所發身、語亦名為善；心若不善，所發身、語亦名不善。所以身、語名等起善。

Regarding "excluding visible form and sound, eight are indeterminate; the remaining are of three kinds": this is the section classifying the three moral natures. Among these ten material dhātus, excluding visible form and sound, the remaining eight are of indeterminate (avyākṛta) nature. The two words "indeterminate" grammatically belong to the upper line. "The remaining" refers to visible form and sound, which encompass all three natures. The three natures are: first, wholesome; second, unwholesome; third, indeterminate. If a phenomenon is praiseworthy and placed within the white category, it is called wholesome by nature; if a phenomenon is blameworthy and placed within the black category, it is called unwholesome by nature; that which is neither praiseworthy nor blameworthy is called indeterminate. Another explanation is: because it cannot be recorded as a maturation result (vipāka-phala), it is called indeterminate. The eight kinds, such as the eye, cannot be recorded as wholesome or unwholesome in nature; they are subsumed under the indeterminate. If visible form and sound are co-arisen through the power of a wholesome mind and are subsumed under bodily or vocal intimation, they are called wholesome by nature; if they are co-arisen through the power of an unwholesome mind and are subsumed under bodily or vocal intimation, they are called unwholesome; if co-arisen from an indeterminate mind and subsumed under bodily or vocal intimation, they are called indeterminate. And those not co-arisen from mind are collectively called indeterminate. The mention of "visible form and sound" refers to: bodily intimation is visible form, and vocal intimation is sound. "Co-arisen" means that the mental sovereign and mental factors can give rise to them together. Because visible form and sound are not intrinsically wholesome or unwholesome, they are judged to be wholesome or unwholesome based on the mind that produces them. If the mind is wholesome, the body and speech it produces are also called wholesome; if the mind is unwholesome, the body and speech it produces are also called unwholesome. Therefore bodily and vocal [actions] are called co-arisen wholesomeness.
