瑜伽論記 17.52

17.52

First, within this, ten pairs are briefly enumerated. First, the pair of multiple natures and few natures: because the afflictions of the desire realm encompass both unwholesome and veiled-indeterminate, and moreover possess stinginess, jealousy, and so forth, they are called multiple natures; the higher realms are solely indeterminate and lack stinginess, jealousy, and so forth, hence they are called few natures. Furthermore, the afflictions of the desire realm take the six sensory objects as intentional objects, hence they are called multiple natures; the afflictions of the higher realms take four sensory objects and take one sensory object as intentional objects, hence they are called few natures. The remaining sections are explained on the model of multiple natures and few natures, and their meaning can be understood.
