瑜伽論記 18.229

18.229

基云：此中毘鉢舍那菩薩謂地前，亦緣下者說善心不計極，故得緣下地，不言上緣者以生上界，如有學但以諦觀，不以六行欣上，故略而不論菩薩，從多聲聞為論，亦不說其處得緣下地，此等染心亦應研問。又彼處異生亦不說之，及蒸不言緣無漏者以界為法故。

Ji says: Here, the "vipaśyanā-bodhisattva" refers to those prior to the stages. Their also taking lower [stages] as object speaks of a wholesome mind that does not cling to extremes, and thus is able to take lower stages as object. Not mentioning taking the higher as object is because they are already born in the upper realm, just as those with training merely view by means of the truths and do not delight in the higher via the six practices; thus they are omitted and not discussed. The treatise speaks mainly in terms of śrāvakas, nor does it say that that state can take lower stages as object; whether these are defiled minds should also be investigated. Furthermore, ordinary beings in that state are not discussed, and it does not speak of taking the taintless as object, because realms are taken as dharmas.
