瑜伽師地論略纂 9.38

9.38

Here, using the seven manaskāras to delineate up to the stages of having training and beyond training: understanding characteristics and decisive resolution are before the path of seeing—that is, understanding characteristics is in the five mental stabilizations and the general and specific characteristics of the smṛtyupasthānas; decisive resolution, below in the text, is in the four wholesome roots; from detachment onward is above the path of seeing; detachment is up through the sixteen minds of the path of seeing; examination is in the path of cultivation up to prior to the diamond[-like samādhi]—all examination and cultivation of what is abandoned or unabandoned is the manaskāra of examination; from the diamond[-like samādhi] backward, up to abandoning the eight grades of defilements of non-perception, all are called gathering pleasure—that is, all uninterrupted paths within the path of cultivation are this; culmination of preparatory practice is in the diamond-like mind; the fruit of culmination is in the stage beyond training. Now, wishing to clarify what is prior to the path of seeing, it states: "this is called the manaskāra of understanding the characteristics." Below "This is like...", it explains the sequence among the various stages; the treatise explains it itself, and one will know it by checking it.
