唯識二十論述記 2.364

2.364

述曰：此下有二：初略總舉歎深推佛；後廣別顯結造推深。就初之中，先歎深，後推佛，此即初也。「理」者道理；「趣」者趣況所趣處也；「無邊」者，無際也；「決擇」者，以覺慧決了、簡擇也，「決」簡染疑，「擇」簡邪見，邪見決而不擇，疑擇而不決。今顯智慧所證量法，異邪見、疑所行境界，故言「決擇」。「品類」者，同此等流也；「差別」者，體有異也；寬廣故「難度」；無底故「甚深」。此中意說唯識理趣，若決擇品類有無邊差別，弘廣難度，無底甚深，歎有無邊深廣理趣。

Commentary: Below this there are two parts: first, briefly setting forth as a whole the praise of its profundity and deferring to the Buddha; second, broadly and individually explaining the conclusion of the composition and deferring to its profundity. In the first part, it first praises the profundity and then defers to the Buddha; this is the first. 'Principles' (lǐ) means reasoned principles; 'import' (qù) means the directed inclination and the destination reached. 'Boundless' means without limits. 'Discrimination' (viniścaya) means determining, resolving, and selecting by means of awakened wisdom: 'determining' eliminates defiled doubt; 'selecting' eliminates wrong views. Wrong views determine without selecting, while doubt selects without determining. Here, to show that the measured dharmas realized by wisdom differ from the spheres traversed by wrong views and doubt, it says 'discrimination'. 'Categories' means streams of similar kinds; 'differentiation' means difference in substance. Because it is vast, it is 'difficult to measure'; because it is bottomless, it is 'exceedingly profound'. The intention here is to say that regarding the principles and import of vijñapti-mātra, its categories of discrimination have boundless differentiations, vastly extended and difficult to cross over, bottomless and exceedingly profound; it praises its possessing boundless, deep, and broad principles and import.
