"In a virtuous mind, six are acquired": this refers to the desire-realm non-obscured [neutral], the subtle-form virtuous and non-obscured [neutral], the formless-realm virtuous, and the śaikṣa and aśaikṣa, thus making six minds. The *Miśrakābhidharmahṛdaya*, based on singular acquisition, speaks only of these six minds. This treatise, based on repeated acquisition, states that seven minds are acquired, meaning three subtle-form virtuous and four śaikṣa, making seven minds. Among these seven, two repeated minds are eliminated. The "two minds" means the non-obscured [neutrals] of the desire and subtle-form realms are each acquired twice: first, acquired at the time of subtle-form virtuous; second, acquired at the time of a śaikṣa mind. Excluding one mind from each and taking the remaining five minds, together with the one aśaikṣa, thus makes six. The treatise says: "To subsume the previous meanings, another verse is spoken:
'By entering an existence, entering meditative absorption (First, "by entering an existence" is the previously mentioned falling back from a realm. Second, "entering meditative absorption" is the previously mentioned subtle-form virtuous and śaikṣa mind),
and at the time of detachment or falling back (Third, "and detachment" is the previously mentioned detachment from the defiled mind of the desire realm. Fourth, "the time of falling back" is the previously mentioned falling back due to giving rise to afflictions),
at the stage of re-linking the virtuous [roots], minds are acquired (Fifth, "the stage of re-linking the virtuous [roots]" is the previously mentioned re-linking of the virtuous roots by a mind of doubt),
because they were not previously possessed' (This clarifies the meaning of acquisition. Here, "acquisition" means that which is newly possessed at this time is called acquisition)."
This is where the author of the treatise, to subsume the previous meanings, summarizes them into five gates and encapsulates them in a single verse; please examine it carefully.
