17.48

There are three interpretations of the meaning. One says: subverting the faculty to follow the affliction, grief and suffering follow greed, hence they are subsumed under joyful nature. The second says: subverting the affliction to follow the faculty, greed relies on grief and suffering, hence it is subsumed under sorrowful nature. The third says: according to the distinct essential substance, there are multiple functions in a single moment; therefore, grief and suffering arise conditioned on adverse objects and are subsumed under sorrowful nature, while greed is conditioned on favorable objects, hence it is called joyful nature. Regarding the remaining conjunctions, the text pointing to and castigating instances does not appear again, which means the conjunction of the remaining secondary afflictions with the five faculties is not stated further in the text; alternatively, the conjunction of these afflictive dharmas with consciousnesses, conjunction with object-determining factors, and so forth do not appear again in the text.
