瑜伽論記 12.91

12.91

Ji says: "Because of the equality of being far removed from all appropriation, rejection, and construction; that is, because of the equality of this affliction, manifold suffering, and defilement being released and liberated from bonds" corresponds to the Bodhisattvabhūmi's seventh, "the equality of appropriation and rejection", and corresponds to the sūtra's eighth, "the equality of non-appropriation and non-rejection". If one takes the sūtra as standard, taking "ultimately and fundamentally quiescent" as two is superior; if they are combined into one, then this word "because" is divided into two. Although it does not follow the sūtra text, the meaning here is that because afflictions and manifold sufferings attain liberation, all appropriation and rejection are equal. As the old [version] says: eighth, "the equality of all dharmas being separated", this corresponds now to "that is, because of the equality of this affliction, manifold suffering, and defilement being released and liberated from bonds"; the sūtra says: eighth, "because of the equality of all dharmas having no appropriation or rejection". The meaning here is that it is equal because there is no sign of rejecting or appropriating regarding defiled and pure dharmas.
