7.7

The Commentary states: In the prose commentary, the passage has two parts: first, explaining the verse; second, analyzing the meaning. In the explanation there are three parts: first, explaining the derivation of the name 'indeterminate'; second, explaining their individual substantial entities; third, explaining the phrase 'both each being twofold'. What is indicated here is the first part. Regarding 'they are indeterminate in all respects regarding the wholesome, defiled, and so forth': One explanation reveals the meaning of indeterminate, because these are indeterminate in terms of realm, nature, consciousness, and so forth. A second explanation differentiates them from the preceding faith and so forth, greed and so forth: these apply across the three natures, and because their moral nature is indeterminate, and their categories are not single, the word 'and so forth' is used. If so, they should be subsumed under the omnipresent factors.
