瑜伽論記 1.61

1.61

The phrase 'Within the Maulī Bhūmiḥ' is a distinct title within the sections. The Sanskrit says *mūla*, translated here as 'basic' (ben). These major frameworks and doctrines elucidate the stages; the stages do not illuminate themselves, so five divisions are opened to clarify their import. Although the five divisions are distinct, they converge upon the stages; therefore, the first division is named the 'Basic Stage' (Maulī Bhūmiḥ), as explained earlier. The Sanskrit says *bhāga*, translated here as 'within the division'; a division is a branch or distinct part. Although the treatise comprises one hundred fascicles, discerning the doctrine in terms of the stages, the doctrine is made clear without being tedious, opening into five branches; hence it is called a 'division' (bhāga), and 'within' means interior.
