Explanation: Suffering is based on the five consciousnesses, grief exclusively on the sixth, and equanimity extends to all six consciousnesses. Furthermore, fascicle fifty-nine states: If they arise spontaneously, all defilements can be found actively occurring in all three sensations; therefore, those extending to all conscious bodies are associated with all faculties; those not extending to all conscious bodies are associated with all faculties of the mental stage. If they do not arise spontaneously, all defilements are associated with the respective faculties as appropriate. The previous analysis of defilements associated with the faculties was established only in terms of coarse-aspect principles, in order that beginners may understand without confusion. Now it is established in terms of both coarse and subtle principles, in order that long-term practitioners may understand the various distinctions in practice and comprehension in their own and others' persons. Since the methods are extensively formulated and largely agree with what is explained in the sixth [fascicle] of this treatise, they are not recorded here. The Commentary refers to this passage in saying that what fascicle fifty-eight states is based on secondary occurrence and coarse aspects.
