Regarding the statement that "they do not arise with a single mode and are not determinate in nature, etc.": because in the desire realm there are manifold modes such as joy and sorrow, their activity directed toward objects is determinate in grasping that of the higher realms. Another explanation says: afflictions of the desire realm are not subdued by concentration, hence they are not determinate in mode; afflictions of the higher realms are subdued by concentration, and therefore are determinate in a single mode.
