Question: Within that object-discriminating consciousness, to which bhūmi does grasping-nature ignorance belong? To which bhūmi do all the attachments and views within the deluded consciousness belong? Answer: They are not fixed, and there are briefly two senses: First, discussing them in terms of alternating latency and manifestation: the grasping-nature ignorance within that object-discriminating consciousness is subsumed under the four entrenchments by taking the branch back to the root; all the attachments and views within that deluded consciousness are subsumed under ignorance by tracing the branches to the root. Second, discussing generally according to the meaning: all the views within the deluded consciousness are subsumed under the four entrenchments, and all the ignorance within the object-discriminating consciousness is also subsumed under ignorance.
