9.14

Regarding the śāstra's statement: "Thus, the remaining four kinds of manaskāras should be known to be subsumed within the six manaskāras, namely the conformant manaskāra, and so forth": the meaning is that the four manaskāras are outside the seven manaskāras, hence they are called "remaining." All four manaskāras are manaskāras among the forty manaskāras; now they are subsumed within the six among the six manaskāras, hence it says "subsumed within the six manaskāras." Question: Why is the mutual subsumption with the seventh manaskāra not explained here? The explanation is: the seventh manaskāra is the fruit, whereas these four manaskāras and the previous six are all causes; causes can be mutually subsumed, but not the fruit, so the seventh manaskāra is not subsumed. Here, using the seven to subsume the forty, it only subsumes four. Later in that eleventh fascicle, using the forty to subsume the seven, within the seven there is the meaning of completely subsuming the forty manaskāras. Now, using the seven to subsume the forty, rather than the forty to subsume the seven, they are incomplete and not subsumed. There are differences; verify them.
