9.632

述曰：煖等色界繫，此觀共相能引煖等，思能生修故。此觀一切行無常等，一切法真如等，故是最勝名觀共相，不言觀自相，自相者下、中攝故，未廣緣故。雖如亦是諸法自相，未證之時但共相故，於見道前此用最猛。猛者，利也、勝也，偏說為現觀。煖等不能廣分別法，但觀所取無等。雖亦觀一切法無我等，多分有分齊觀。又三乘通說，在二乘位唯觀四諦別別行相，不及於思，謂種種思推、種種觀察名廣分別。煖等無此能，不如於思不立現觀，其見道等雖亦不能廣分別法，緣真理故立為現觀。此又不同彼，未證理故。七十一說：四善根非現觀，是等流故。

The Commentary states: Warmth (ūṣmagata) and the rest are bound to the form realm; this contemplation of common characteristics can induce warmth and the rest, because contemplation can generate cultivation. This contemplation views all conditioned phenomena as impermanent, all phenomena as tathatā, etc.; hence it is most superior and called contemplating common characteristics. It does not mention contemplating specific characteristics, because specific characteristics are subsumed under the lower and middle [grades], not yet broadly taking objects. Although tathatā is also the specific characteristic of all phenomena, before realization it is merely a common characteristic; prior to the path of seeing, this function is the most fierce. 'Fierce' means sharp and superior, and it is singled out as clear realization. Warmth and the rest cannot broadly discriminate phenomena, but only contemplate the non-existence of the grasped, etc. Although they also contemplate all phenomena as non-self, etc., they mostly contemplate with specific limits. Furthermore, speaking generally of the three vehicles, at the stage of the two vehicles they only contemplate the individual mental modes of the four truths, which is inferior to contemplation—that is, various reflections and various examinations are called broad discrimination. Warmth and the rest lack this capability, and being inferior to contemplation, are not established as clear realization. Although the path of seeing and the rest are also unable to broadly discriminate phenomena, because they take true reality as object, they are established as clear realization. This again differs from those, as they have not yet realized reality. Fascicle 71 states: 'The four roots of goodness are not clear realization, because they are its outflow.'
