6.121

We evaluate this as follows: Are not the greed and so forth associated with the innate self-view of the sixth mental consciousness properly moistening? If you say they are, then since the afflictions that properly moisten are present, how can you say they are absent so that one can be born above? If you say 'they are not', that contradicts various teachings. If you say 'although they are, it is due to lacking the others', this is precisely the Commentary's intent; why bother to say further: 'and one cannot say that subtle innate ones are not properly moistening'?
