答：處謂處所，即四所障。由此四障障四觀行，從彼所障以得「處」名。四處之障，依主釋也。或此四障是分別心所居之處，障即是處，持業釋也。此總意云：初二障彼厭小欣大之行，後二障捨妄證真之行，故名為「障」。若能斷智，即觀無相及於三性。由證法空，證無能、所，斷分別心，如次四智斷彼四障。

Answer: "Place" means locus, which refers to the four that are obstructed. Because these four hindrances obstruct the four practices of contemplation, they take the name "place" from what is obstructed. "Hindrances of the four places" is a dependent-determinative compound (tatpuruṣa). Alternatively, these four hindrances are the places where the discriminating mind resides; the hindrance is itself the place, which is an appositional compound (karmadhāraya). The general meaning here is: the first two obstruct the practice of recoiling from the small and aspiring to the great, while the latter two obstruct the practice of relinquishing the false and realizing the true; hence they are called "hindrances." As for the wisdoms that can abandon them, they are contemplation of signlessness and of the three natures. By realizing phenomenal emptiness, realizing the absence of grasper and grasped, and abandoning the discriminating mind, the four wisdoms respectively abandon those four hindrances.
