瑜伽論記 4.186

4.186

基云：初門依修有為果所成辨故通七所攝；就第二門，唯加行究竟果攝者，謂前第二緣清淨所緣作意，唯在佛果，無為轉依究竟辨故。最初勝解思擇作意，皆所不攝。若奢摩他而為上首，遍一切攝者，前云勝解思擇作意者，或有最初思擇諸法，或奢摩他而為上首，最初勝解思擇作意即是欲善思慧故，非色界七作意攝，若依色界奢摩他中作彼勝解思擇作意，即七作意攝。前文復云：寂靜作意者，謂由此故或有最初安心於內或毘鉢奢那而為上首。今云：若最初寂靜，若毘鉢舍那而為上首，當知亦爾者，即前云：或有最初安心於內；若初依欲界心中安住內境，名寂靜作意，即非七作意攝；若依修慧毘鉢奢那起寂靜作意，名為七作意攝。

Master Ji says: The initial approach is based on the accomplishments of cultivating conditioned fruitions, and therefore it applies across what the seven include; according to the second approach, it is included only in the culmination of practice, which means that the preceding second [mental application], taking a purified object as an object, exists solely in the Buddha-fruition, because the unconditioned āśrayaparavṛtti has been completely accomplished. As for "the initial mental application of resolute investigation is included by none of them; if śamatha is the precursor, it is included across all": earlier it said that with the mental application of resolute investigation, either one initially investigates phenomena, or śamatha is the precursor. The initial mental application of resolute investigation is simply the wholesome wisdom arisen from reflection in the desire realm, and therefore it is not included in the seven mental applications of the form realm; if, based on śamatha in the form realm, one performs that mental application of resolute investigation, then it is included in the seven mental applications. The preceding text also said: "The mental application of pacification means that by this, either one initially settles the mind internally, or vipaśyanā is the precursor." Now it says: "Whether it is initial pacification, or vipaśyanā is the precursor, it should be understood that this is also the case." This refers to what was said earlier: "either one initially settles the mind internally." If at first one settles on an internal object based on a mind of the desire realm, this is called the mental application of pacification and is not included in the seven mental applications; if, based on vipaśyanā of wisdom arisen from cultivation, one arouses the mental application of pacification, it is said to be included in the seven mental applications.
