Fifth, explaining coming and going: Master Jing says: First, 'defilement of karma and craving' is called defilement of karma and craving because it is produced by intentional mental action associated with craving. Second, 'defilement of false views' refers to the various views. From 'one should know that herein' onward, it distinguishes their alternative names. The phrase 'a person in training who has seen the footprints' up to 'does not delight in future existence': according to one explanation, conceptually differentiated views have already been eliminated and ended, but there are innate false views; because the majority have already been abandoned, it is said that 'there are only residual impressions'. According to a second explanation, conceptually differentiated views are called entanglements, all of which have been abandoned; innate views arise caused by conceptually differentiated views, and are collectively called residual impressions; hence it is said that 'there are only the residual impressions of the conceit of self, and so forth'. 'Defilement of karma and craving' up to 'attracting and assembling future existence' is conceptually differentiated self-love; for those in [the stage of] abandoning through cultivation, by abandoning conceptually differentiated self-view, this craving definitely does not operate; however, there are seeds that have not been abandoned which follow along as defilement. Those beyond training are understandable. Master Da says: Regarding 'there being no entanglements', there are three different explanations. One says: because none are arisen from conceptual differentiation, it is said that there are no entanglements. Question: If so, under which category are those innate ones that arise spontaneously subsumed? Answer: They are gathered under latent defilements (anuśaya). The second explanation says: innate ones also mostly do not arise, hence it says there are no entanglements. The third explanation says: because there is no entanglement of the conceit of self arisen from conceptual differentiation. Why? The self-view that is its basis has already been abandoned, so this conceit of self definitely does not manifest at present. However, the Tripiṭaka Master explains: As for the entanglements abandoned by the path of cultivation, in the text of the treatise they are completely absent; the entanglement and latent defilement of the conceit of self arisen from conceptual differentiation are also absent, because they were previously abandoned in the path of seeing. 'Defiling their mind': one [master] says it is the latent defilement of the conceit of self; one says it is innate afflictions and so forth; one says it is the various active cravings and so forth. A master explains a question: Since the trainee has not abandoned innate views, how could the treatise master say that there are 'only residual impressions of the basis of the conceit of self'? For 'only' is stated in a definitive sense. If one says that they are residual impressions yet active manifestations exist, could one also say that active manifestations exist yet they are only residual impressions? Answer: Now, this fifth division wishes to distinguish that the Great and Small Tripiṭakas and so forth are without difference; it is only later lesser noble ones who take the self according to literal words, and if they adhere to their own views and analyze the true words, they end up creating many obstacles. Therefore, now the treatise master, in order to reveal the Buddha's intention and return it to a single path, expounds the Vastusaṃgrahaṇī. Yet one cannot, because the previous division contains the two views, make this latter division also contain the two views. Why? The meaning of this present text directly explains the Tathāgata's conventional teachings according to characteristics; therefore, innate views cannot be called entanglements of false views, but are spoken of only as residual impressions; because they are subtle, without this division subsuming those two views under the conceit of self. Master Tai says: Because the three levels of trainees do not give rise to conceptually differentiated views, false views have already been abandoned.
