2.16

"All grounds" has two meanings: one says the three grounds of "with directed examination," etc.; the other says four of form, four of formlessness, and one of the desire realm, combining to make nine grounds. "All times" means whenever mind arises, they definitely exist. "All [factors] together" means that within their own category, when one arises, all definitely accompany it. The universal factors possess all four; the particular factors lack the latter two; among the eleven wholesome factors, they extend to all grounds. "Not in all places" means they are only of the wholesome nature. "Not at all times" means they do not all arise whenever mind arises. "Not all [factors] together" means that pliancy does not pervade all wholesome minds. Regarding "all grounds", one opinion holds: it extends to the nine grounds, because the preparatory stage for concentration is also called a stage of concentration, where there is also a slight sense of harmony and ease; due to this, the desire realm also has pliancy. Another opinion holds: this is not so. The treatise says that because the desire realm lacks pliancy, it is called an uncollected ground. "Extending to all grounds" means they exist in all three grounds of with directed examination, and so forth. This is as stated in the sixth fascicle of the Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi. Afflictions and secondary afflictions are collectively called the defiled status, and they lack all four. The indeterminate factors possess only "all places" (all moral natures). The fifth fascicle of the Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi states: Among the five, the universal factors possess all four universalities; the particular factors have only the first two universalities; the wholesome factors have only one; the defiled factors lack all four; the indeterminate factors have only one, namely all moral natures. This is explained extensively below in fascicle 8 and fascicles 55, 58, 59, the Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi fascicles 5 and 6, the Abhidharmasamuccaya fascicle 1, and so forth.
