Regarding "and the links are named after what is predominant": this resolves an outside objection: If positional dependent origination in all cases possesses the five skandhas, on what ground are they designated solely with the names of ignorance and so on? To resolve and stop this objection: Because in each state ignorance and the like are predominant, although all five skandhas are present, the name is established according to what is predominant. The designation of ignorance and so forth has been extensively explained previously. The sūtra states that the positional applies only to sentient beings; the treatise states that the momentary and continuous extend to both sentient and insentient, and the positional and enduring across lifetimes, in agreement with the sūtra, apply only to sentient beings. The sūtra speaks solely of sentient beings in order to sever delusion; the treatise extends to both sentient and insentient in accordance with the characteristics of dharmas.
