17.7
The explanation says: Regarding "only wrong view severs the roots of good," only supreme, fully developed wrong view can sever the roots of good. However, where the root treatise says that the three unwholesome roots of greed, hatred, and delusion can sever the roots of good, this is because unwholesome roots can induce wrong view, so the severing by wrong view is attributed to those roots. It is like a fire burning a village: because the fire was set by thieves, the world says the village was burned by thieves.
