瑜伽論記 10.424

10.424

前中，云於一切法能正思擇者，明修觀之始。由善觀察等者，明修觀終成。下出境體，若依舊論，不置一二等數，是以舊人三寶開為三，因果合為一，不數一切所知所應行處為別一數而成八也。今此八數，如上力種姓品廣說，但彼所列數之次第與此少異，彼處第二是威力，第三是真實義。今此威力為第三，實義為第二，餘文可知。

In the former, the statement 'being able to correctly contemplate all phenomena' clarifies the beginning of cultivating contemplation. 'Through good observation, etc.' clarifies the final accomplishment of cultivating contemplation. Below, setting forth the essence of the objects: if based on the older treatise, the numbers such as one and two are not posited; therefore, the ancient masters opened the Three Jewels into three, combined cause and effect into one, and did not count all objects of knowledge and proper domains of practice as a separate number to make eight. Now these eight numbers are as extensively explained above in the Chapter on the Gotra of Powers, but the sequence of numbers listed there differs slightly from this: in that section, the second is power and the third is ultimate truth; here, power is the third and ultimate truth is the second; the rest of the text can be understood accordingly.
