瑜伽論記 24.26

24.26

Question: How is this taintless path called 'abandonment'? Below it is explained: because of the meaning of transcendence, it is called abandonment; it is not called abandonment by reason of being disjoined from afflictions. 'The second, painful [progress with] swift [comprehension], and the third, pleasant [progress with] sluggish [comprehension], are partially to be abandoned': the second has the aspect of painfulness, and the third has the aspect of sluggishness; therefore, a portion is to be abandoned. The aspects of swiftness and pleasantness should not be spoken of as abandonment. 'Not merely by this': it is not that by one single purification alone one can attain nirvāṇa. 'Nor apart from this': yet one is not apart from this single purification. Up to here, the four verses explaining dependent origination are concluded.
