6.12

As for the line, "Desire-realm innate gives rise to seven; having attained absorption, perhaps nine or ten": to begin with, the desire-realm innate [wholesome mind] of one who has not attained absorption immediately gives rise to seven—namely, the seven of the desire realm. If one has newly attained absorption, it immediately gives rise to nine, adding the defiled neutral of the form and formless realms, which is the position of moistening rebirth. If one has practiced for a long time, it immediately gives rise to ten, adding the form-realm deportment [mind]. Hence the sixty-ninth fascicle of the Yogācāra states: "If one who has already aroused dhyāna or formless [attainments] does not regress, then immediately after a wholesome mind of the desire realm, according to whatever is desired, the various minds of higher grounds and the śaikṣa and aśaikṣa minds can manifest and arise, because he has previously well grasped their aspects; thus, he is able to arouse those various minds as he pleases." According to the intent of this text, it speaks generally of the two wholesome [minds]. Here we take the innately acquired, hence it gives rise to deportment. As for "It arises from ten itself": it also arises from the seven of the desire realm and the upper three—the two minds of the form realm, deportment and defiled, and the defiled of the formless. This is spoken in terms of being in the desire realm. Alternatively, twelve [minds] can also arise from the expedient wholesome minds of the upper two realms.
