4.43

[The Commentary states:] Below, the definitive analysis has two interpretations; this is the first. Resolving this objection, it says: although defilement, karma, and rebirth—the defiled truths of origin and suffering—are all transmigration and all factors of birth-and-death, nevertheless the five realms are the suffering fruits of birth-and-death, and being superior, they are singled out. The fruit is birth-and-death proper and is the factor conformed to; karma and defilement are able to conform to the nature of the fruit of birth-and-death, hence it specifically mentions the fruit. What is explained here as upholding all factors conforming to transmigration takes the fruit of birth-and-death as the substance of transmigration. Upholding what conforms means upholding the factors of karma and defilement that can conform; it is not called upholding in the manner of form and the rest, but rather this is called upholding in the sense of upholding and serving as the support. Because consciousness upholds and serves as the support for active defilement and karma, consciousness does not grasp those active defilements and karma as its objective sphere. This interpretation differs from the preceding one, yet shares points with it.
