5.13

Below, nutriment and non-nutriment are clarified. "Nutriment" has the meaning of nourishing and promoting, being the condition that increases and generates the hindrances; "non-nutriment" refers to the dharmas that cut off and extinguish the hindrances.
Regarding "if one can distance oneself from a defiled mind with respect to this" and so forth: it merely adduces the reason for the sign of purity and attractiveness.
The nine bases of vexation are as explained in [fascicle] fifty-eight.
Regarding the "light of the Dharma": it means that such as when someone, according to what has been received, what has been contemplated, and what has been experienced, matches respectively to the prajñā of hearing, contemplating, and cultivating.
"Observing all dharmas" applies across all three above prajñās.
Regarding "furthermore, realizing observation can counteract the darkness of torpor and sleepiness": "realizing" refers to the prajñā of cultivating the Dharma, meaning that touching and encountering [it] within absorption is called realizing. Through the light of the Dharma, the prajñās of hearing, contemplating, and so forth remove delusion and doubt; at the stage of cultivation, they can remove sleepiness. Because it can make distinct the nature of all dharmas, it is called the light of the Dharma and serves as non-nutriment.
Regarding "laughter means such as when someone, due to open discussion or combined discussion" and so forth: explicit speech is called open discussion; veiled speech using metaphors, combining them so as to bring about understanding, is called combined discussion. Opening the mouth and smiling is called showing teeth. Making a sound in the throat is called chuckling.
Regarding the "nine states of abiding mind", they are explained as in the thirtieth fascicle of the "Śrāvakabhūmi", the tenth fascicle of the *Abhidharmasamuccaya*, and elsewhere.
Regarding "possessing conditions and conditioned origination": "possessing conditions" refers to the resultant dharmas; "conditioned origination" refers to the causal dharmas.
