The Commentary states: If the Tathāgata's jñāna lacks a darśanabhāga, it would lack cognitive function and should not be a jñāna, etc.; this contradicts reason. 'Etc.' includes the other cittas and caitasikas. The objection states: The anāsrava four classes of jñāna of the Tathāgatas and bodhisattvas should not be classes of jñāna; because they lack a darśanabhāga, etc.; like empty space, etc. Once this has been established, overturning [the previous position] establishes [the corollary]: namely, that the sāsrava wholesome and indeterminate classes of jñāna of ordinary persons and the two vehicles, as well as their anāsrava classes of citta, should be free of dharmagrāha; because non-defiled cittas possess the two aspects; just like the Buddha's anāsrava class of jñāna, since the opponent maintains that the Tathāgata's anāsrava class of jñāna does not possess grasping. The lower fascicle of the Benye yingluo jing says: 'Light and darkness have one single mark; good and evil are one single mind,' etc., which is the doctrine of Master Andha of the kingdom of King Bimbisāra; therefore we know that what the previous master stated is incorrect. The previous master objected: 'If sāsrava cittas do not all have grasping, why is it said that the storehouse consciousness, which takes seeds as its object, is exclusively parikalpita?'
