瑜伽論記 4.124

4.124

二十八又說：順解脫分名初習業，順決擇分名已習行，諦現觀後名度作意，即顯了相在順解脫，次五作意在順決擇，第七作意在諦現觀後。若作此說，便與四十作意中有學等三相攝文違，七種作意皆通有學，初及第七亦通無學，由此故知三瑜伽師別依位配與七作意相攝義殊，兩門自別，不可以三瑜伽師與七相攝，便顯七作意三位亦然，不可於此浪生分別。然三瑜伽師二十八中總配七作意，不依三位配七作意，如在非學非無學具七作意，在有學位資糧道有具七作意，先依世間道進離染故，亦有資糧道不修七作意不修定故，加行道中方具七作意進離欲界九品染故，得現觀後亦起七作意進離上地染故。

Fascicle 28 also states: "The aids to liberation are called the beginner; the aids to penetration are called those who have already practiced; and after the direct realization of the truths, one is called one who has transcended mental application." This shows that apprehending characteristics is in the aids to liberation, the next five mental applications are in the aids to penetration, and the seventh mental application is after the direct realization of the truths. If one takes this explanation, it contradicts the text below on subsumption with the three [classes of practitioners], including those in training, among the forty mental applications, where all seven mental applications extend to those in training, and the first and seventh also extend to those beyond training. From this it is known that the distinct assignment of the three kinds of yogic practitioners to stages has a different meaning from the subsumption under the seven mental applications; the two gates are inherently distinct. One must not, because the three kinds of yogic practitioners are subsumed under the seven, then take it that the three stages of the seven mental applications are also like that; one should not make wild discriminations here. However, the three kinds of yogic practitioners in fascicle 28 are generally assigned to the seven mental applications, not assigned to the seven mental applications on the basis of the three stages. For instance, in the stage of neither in training nor beyond training, one possesses the seven mental applications; in the path of accumulation of the stage in training, there are those who possess the seven mental applications, because they have previously advanced to detach from defilement on the basis of the worldly path; there are also those in the path of accumulation who do not cultivate the seven mental applications because they do not cultivate concentration; it is only in the path of preparatory application that one fully possesses the seven mental applications to advance and detach from the nine grades of defilement of the desire realm; after attaining direct realization, one also gives rise to the seven mental applications to advance and detach from the defilements of the higher stages.
