Furthermore, according to fascicle seventy-three, regarding the five varieties of conceptualizing the intrinsic nature of the referent and so on: First, conceptualizing the intrinsic nature of the referent has four varieties, which are precisely the four kinds cited above—conceptualizing the grasper, the grasped, and so forth. Second, [conceptualizing] the intrinsic nature of the name is precisely the two names cited above, distinct and indistinct. Third, [conceptualizing] the defiled intrinsic nature refers to conceptualizing this form as possessing greed, anger, and ignorance, being unable to escape the bonds of greed, anger, and ignorance, and moreover not being associated with any wholesome [qualities]; conceptualizing the remaining aggregates and so forth is likewise. Fourth, [conceptualizing] the pure intrinsic nature should be understood as the reverse of the defiled. Fifth, [conceptualizing] neither the defiled nor the pure refers merely to conceptualizing phenomena as grasper and grasped.
