4.27

The explanation says: "Delusion" (moha) is foolishness, also called ignorance (avidyā), because it arises from being confused about objects; it is also called lack of knowledge, because of lacking resolution; it is also called non-manifestation, because of lacking clear illumination. "Heedlessness" (pramāda) is negligence, not cultivating wholesome dharmas, and is the dharma opposed to the cultivation of wholesome dharmas. "Indolence" (kausīdya) is laziness, the mind lacking courage, and is the antidote to the vigor (vīrya) spoken of earlier. "Lack of faith" (āśraddhya) causes the mind not to be clear, and is the antidote to the faith (śraddhā) spoken of earlier. "Torpor" (styāna) means heaviness of body and mind, having no competence with regard to wholesome dharmas; it is also called the unfitness of body and mind. "Restlessness" (auddhatya) causes the mind to be unquiet. "Always only defiled" explains how they obtain the name of the ground; "pervasive" has the meaning of "always". These six above, first, are solely defiled, and second, pervade defilement; possessing these two characteristics, they alone obtain the name "universal defiled mental dharmas" (kleśamahābhūmika). For example, though sensation (vedanā) and the like pervade defilement, they are not solely defiled; and though the ten secondary defilements such as wrath (krodha) are solely defiled, they do not pervade defilement; hence none of them obtain the name "great defilement ground".
