7.63

The explanation says: Here the author of the treatise cites a verse from the master of the *Miśrakābhidharmahṛdaya* to clarify the number of minds acquired. That work says that when a defiled mind arises into presence, nine are acquired; this treatise says that [when defiled minds arise] fourteen minds are acquired—namely, six in the desire realm, six in the subtle-form realm, and two in the formless realm. This treatise speaks of fourteen minds on the basis of repeatedly acquired defiled minds, whereas that treatise speaks of only nine minds based on singular acquisition. Among the fourteen minds in this treatise, there are five minds that are repeatedly acquired: the defiled mind of the subtle-form realm is acquired twice—first, acquired during desire-realm defilement; second, acquired during subtle-form-realm defilement; the *Miśrakābhidharmahṛdaya* excludes one mind [as a duplicate]. The defiled mind of the formless realm and the śaikṣa mind are each acquired three times, meaning they are acquired during the defilement of all three realms; the *Miśrakābhidharmahṛdaya* excludes two from each, which, together with the previous one mind, excludes five in total, hence it says nine are acquired. Each is based on a particular perspective, and there is no contradiction between them.
