"Contemplating own-characteristics" means, as stated below, "because cognising the two kinds of names, the characteristic of a self is unfindable." This is the objective aspect (\*nimittabhāga\*) of the two attachments; now one knows its reality. "Contemplating their causes of defilement" means, as stated below, "not skillfully understanding this name, defilement thereby arises." That is, because their subjective aspect (\*darśanabhāga\*) arises, all dharmas are produced. Another explanation states: the two kinds of names possess three meanings, and are therefore called overshadowing all. First, one who contemplates these names attains purity, serving as their cause of purity; second, knowing that the two names cognise all dharmas themselves; third, knowing that the two names are causes of defiled dharmas. Possessing these three meanings, they are called overshadowing all. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 16.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.16.88) - [Next: 16.90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.16.90) - [Up: 16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.16) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829~en-mt.16.89) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽論記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.18.237) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.16.89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.16.89) · Pramāṇa
