On the Śāstra's phrase "in the vajropamasamādhi there is no consciousness to be perfumed": the Yaoji states: "Due to the perfuming power of active extensive hearing (bahuśruta), the innate bījas increase their superior functions; therefore the text below says: 'Although these four lineages are all fundamentally possessed, they must be perfumed and stimulated before they can become active; gradually increasing in the causal stage, they become complete in the resultant stage', and so forth." I say now: this determination may be accepted for the darśanamārga, because before the darśanamārga there are no active anāsrava [dharmas] to perfume and initiate new bījas; but once the bhāvanāmārga is reached, there are active perfumers that perfume and acquire new bījas; if one claims that up until one achieves Buddhahood, they only arise from innate bījas [that is incorrect].
