瑜伽師地論略纂 8.147

8.147

Regarding the conclusion of the smṛtyupasthāna on dharmas where the treatise says, "If one can thus truly and comprehensively know the intrinsic nature (svabhāva), causes and conditions (hetu-pratyaya), faults (ādīnava), and counteragents (pratipakṣa) of all defiled dharmas, this is the smṛtyupasthāna on dharmas": checking against the preceding text, there is no distinct explanation of these four kinds; there are only intrinsic nature, faults, and counteragents, with no distinct causes and conditions. If one follows the above, adducing the hindrances and so forth to be counteracted is called 'intrinsic nature'; immediately prior to this, it was stated that understanding that the eye-base has the fault of fetters is called 'faults'; the former counteracting paths are called 'counteragents'. Furthermore, although there is no text with a distinct explanation of causes and conditions, it does not hurt to establish it in principle. That is, within the six times of moving, the three unwholesome roots are called the causes and conditions of the defilements, as causes and conditions give rise to the defilements. Again, the seeds of intrinsic nature itself are called causes and conditions. Again, the place due to which and the conditions upon which the intrinsic nature arises are precisely called causes and conditions. Again, defilements arise based on the eye and so on up to manaskāra; bases such as the eye are precisely called causes and conditions.
