瑜伽論記 4.266

4.266

俱舍云：前修解脫唯能棄背，後修勝處能制所緣，隨所樂觀或修不起。今釋：初修前三解脫除二種障，由此能生勝知勝見名勝處，修成滿者，由八勝處勝伏所緣，能令初三解脫清淨，是謂解脫勝處差別。

The [Abhidharma-]kośa says: The earlier cultivation of the vimokṣas can only turn away [from objects]; the subsequent cultivation of the stations of mastery can master the cognitive object, so that one contemplates according to one's inclination or does not cultivate [it so that defilement] does not arise. Now it is explained: First cultivating the preceding three vimokṣas eliminates two kinds of obstacles, and from this one is able to produce superior knowing and superior seeing, which are called 'stations of mastery.' For those whose cultivation is fully perfected, by means of the eight stations of mastery they overpower and master the cognitive objects, and can make the first three vimokṣas pure. This is the distinction between the vimokṣas and the stations of mastery.
