瑜伽論記 2.152

2.152

'By nature discursive' means that their disposition has much thought and deliberation. 'By nature observant' means that their disposition has much deduction and analysis; the essence of the former is thought (cetanā), and the essence of the latter is wisdom (prajñā). 'Abiding in the stage of discursiveness' and 'abiding in the stage of their own eloquence': 'stage' means that upon which one relies; relying internally on investigation and reflection, externally they produce verbal eloquence, both occurring in the position of ordinary beings (pṛthagjana), in the position of speculative thought; hence they form this clinging.
