8.53

The Commentary states: Below is the second section, on the mutual subsumption of the two causes, in which there are two distinct explanations by two masters. In the first master's [view] there are two parts: first, citing the *Bodhisattvabhūmi*; second, citing the text of the *Savitarkādi-bhūmi*. In citing the *Bodhisattvabhūmi* there are three points: 1. citing the text; 2. explaining it directly; 3. establishing the rationale. After citing the text: the productive cause is immediate, while the auxiliary cause is distant. The first explanation differs greatly from ancient [interpretations], while the second is largely the same.
