瑜伽論記 13.32

13.32

From 'As the World-Honoured One said...' below, citing the verse from the Sandhinirmocanasūtra, it properly analyzes why it was not spoken of. The first line reveals generally that it is profound and subtle; the second and fourth lines properly clarify the reasons why it was not spoken of; the third line properly clarifies that it was not spoken of. Question: Why do the fourth and second lines clarify the reasons why it was not spoken of? Answer: It was not spoken of for two reasons: 1. because it is profound and subtle, it was not spoken of, which is the second line properly clarifying the meaning of its depth and subtlety; 2. fearing that afflictions would arise, it was not spoken of for them, which is the fourth line.
