成唯識論述記 8.3

8.3

述曰：就答緣中有二：上來已辨四種能生分別緣已；自下傍乘辨緣依處建立十因，此中有三：第一如是四緣依十五處等，顯前四緣依十五處說為十因問起下文；第二正答；第三總結，傍論已了，應辨正論。此即初也，顯四緣攝法盡義別更立。下答中有四：第一明依十五處立其十因；二辨十因與二因相攝；三明四緣依處等建立，與十因、二因相攝；四明四緣依處等得果多少。又解今此標宗，言四緣義別依十五處立為十因，自下釋中，初依十五處立十因；次四緣依何處立等；後辨得果。其十因、二因相攝，但是因明，十因傍義，故非別門。

The Commentary states: Regarding the answer on conditions, there are two parts: above, the four kinds of conditions that can produce discrimination have already been explained; below, proceeding collaterally, it explains the bases of conditions and establishes the ten causes. Herein there are three parts: first, 'These four conditions based on the fifteen bases...', which shows that the previous four conditions are stated as ten causes based on the fifteen bases, raising the question to introduce the text below; second, the direct answer; third, the general conclusion: the collateral discourse being finished, the main discourse should be explained. This is the first part, showing that the four conditions completely encompass dharmas, but by distinctive meaning they are established differently. In the answer below there are four parts: first, clarifying that the ten causes are established based on the fifteen bases; second, distinguishing the mutual subsumption between the ten causes and the two causes; third, clarifying the establishment of the four conditions and their bases, and their mutual subsumption with the ten causes and two causes; fourth, clarifying how many fruits are obtained by the four conditions, bases, etc. Alternatively, it is explained that here the main thesis is stated, saying that by distinctive meanings of the four conditions, they are established as ten causes based on the fifteen bases; in the explanation below, first, the ten causes are established based on the fifteen bases; next, on which bases the four conditions are established, etc.; and finally, distinguishing the obtaining of fruits. The mutual subsumption between the ten causes and the two causes is merely a matter of reasoning and a collateral meaning of the ten causes, so it is not a distinct section.
