1.76

Regarding "'Self' means sovereign controller, and 'phenomena' means models that sustain": "Sovereign" is the innate self, because it is non-conceptual; "controller" is the conceptualized self, because it involves analytical division. "Sovereign" is the self of the seventh [consciousness]; "controller" is the self of the sixth [consciousness]. "Sovereign" is the worldly self, because it can act and experience; "controller" is the self of the sacred teaching, because it is distinguished based on function. Together with the commentary, these make five explanations. Phenomena of the sacred teaching are called "models" because they are distinguished based on function; worldly phenomena are called "sustaining" because one grasps at a real intrinsic nature that can sustain itself. Together with the commentary, these make five [explanations]. Here, all are spoken of according to the primary sense: four explanations apply generally to both worldly and sacred teaching, while the fifth matches them separately.
