述曰:於中有三:初敘宗;次破他;後自解。此初也。彼計,無法爾種,心性本淨,離煩惱時,既體清淨為無漏因;如乳變為酪,乳中有酪性,木中火亦然。此立宗也。《無垢稱經》亦有此說。次、論主問。

The Commentary states: In this there are three points: first, recounting their thesis; second, refuting the other; third, own explanation. This is the first. They posit that there are no naturally existent seeds; the nature of the mind is originally pure, and when it is free from afflictions, since its substance is pure, it serves as the cause of untainted [dharmas]—just as milk transforms into curds because the nature of curds is present within milk, and like fire within wood. This is their statement of the thesis. The Vimalakīrtinirdeśa-sūtra also has this statement. Next, the author of the treatise questions them.
