4. Analyzing with reference to the three natures: The affliction obscuration is exclusively unwholesome and veiled-unspecified. Regarding the cognitive obscuration, three explanations from the Western region differ: one says it is exclusively defiled; one says it extends to two natures; one says it extends to all three natures. The Tripiṭaka Master's intention upholds the two natures, excluding the wholesome. The Commentary on the Buddhabhūmi states that it mostly upholds attachment to dharmas as being of unspecified nature. The ninth fascicle of the Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi says that it extends to two natures. Next, regarding the treatment and severing of the affliction obscuration: what is severed by seeing is severed in the first stage. What is severed by cultivation has three grades: the upper and middle two grades are already subdued in the first stage and definitively no longer operate; the lower-grade afflictions still arise up to the seventh stage. Therefore, the Commentary on the Buddhabhūmi states: If the fifth, sixth, and seventh stages lacked the manas consciousness, one should not be able to give rise to the afflictions of the sixth consciousness; from the eighth stage onward, the lower grade is also subdued. The 'Chapter on Abidings' below states that the two obscurations are overcome in three places: first, the heaviness of the afflictions of the evil destinies is severed at the time of the first stage; second, the heaviness of the afflictions that obstruct the complete forbearance of the unarisen dharmas is severed at the eighth stage; third, the heaviness of the latencies of the traces of all afflictions is severed at the tenth stage. In terms of principle, the afflictions severed by cultivation are severed all at once up to the vajra-like mind; saying that they are severed at the eighth stage refers to their being permanently subdued and no longer active upon reaching the eighth stage, speaking of subduing as severing.
