瑜伽論記 3.188

3.188

答：一因不假多說正無助發，資緣必假數故正助俱陳。依發一切行緣而說等者，不但唯說身語行緣故不說思為身語緣，及依生善染污思緣為說故，說無明為緣不說無記行緣，身語二行唯無記故，但說無明發諸行故，近能發起身語意三善染污故。

Answer: A single cause does not depend on many; stating the primary without the assisting initiates it. Supporting conditions necessarily depend on several; hence primary and assisting are both set forth. Regarding the passage "Stated on the basis of being the condition that initiates all formations," and so forth: it is not only stated as the condition for bodily and verbal formations; hence volition is not stated to be the condition for body and speech. And, it is stated on the basis of being the condition that generates wholesome and defiled volition; hence ignorance is stated as the condition, and it is not stated as the condition for indeterminate formations, because bodily and verbal formations are only indeterminate. It merely states that ignorance initiates all formations, because it can immediately initiate the wholesome and defiled states of body, speech, and mind.
