第二別明中先明起染，初略後廣。言「以熏習故即有妄心」者，是業識也。以此妄心熏於無明，令彼無明不了無相，故使妄心有能見，現諸境相故。言「不覺念起現妄境界」，不覺念起是轉相也，妄境界是現相也，以此境界熏前妄心，起七識浪執著前境，故言即熏妄心合其念著等。略說竟。此下廣釋。

> In the second part, specifically explaining \[perfuming\], it first explains the arising of defilement, brief at first and then broad. As for "Because of perfuming, there is the false mind": this is the karmic consciousness. Because this false mind perfumes avidyā, it causes that avidyā not to comprehend signlessness, and therefore causes the false mind to possess the capacity to see and manifest the characteristics of various objects. Thus it says: "non-enlightened thought arises and manifests false objects." 'Non-enlightened thought arises' is the evolving characteristic; 'false objects' is the manifesting characteristic. Because these objects perfume the preceding false mind, they give rise to the waves of the seven consciousnesses, clinging to the preceding objects; therefore it says that it immediately perfumes the false mind, causing it to cling in thought, and so forth. The brief explanation is complete; below is the broad explanation.
