成唯識論了義燈 5.13

5.13

The Śāstra: "Although the functions of the two views of self and dharmas differ, they equally rely on a single insight (prajñā)." The Yaoji and others say: "There are definitely no separate seeds for the cognitive hindrances (jñeyāvaraṇa)." This has already been briefly explained before; now it is shown once more. If there are no separate seeds, when the arhats and others give rise to grasping at dharmas, can they perfuse seeds or not? If you say they do not perfuse, which of the four characteristics of a perfuser do they lack that they would not perfuse? If you say they are permitted to perfuse, how could these not be separate seeds? For what is perfumed is solely cognitive hindrances. Furthermore, they themselves say: 'The functional divisions of a single insight perfuse into two kinds of seeds'—this means they are indeed separate seeds. Why say they must be identical? That it is spoken of as an affliction is based on the root [afflictions] and the majority.
