11.3

二、釋。釋中二：初，疏文十一重喻合，義相昭然，尋文易解。然此翳喻亦未全似，若以首末比況，最切者不過夢喻，已見前文。皆由無明力者，如下文云：當知無明能生一切染法。

Second, explaining them. Within the explanation there are two: first, in the commentary's text there are eleven levels of metaphors matching [the doctrines]; the doctrinal aspects are clear and luminous, easy to understand upon following the text. However, this metaphor of the visual cataracts is also not completely similar. If one compares and illustrates from beginning to end, none is more apt than the metaphor of the dream, which has already appeared in the preceding text. 'All due to the power of ignorance': as the text below says, 'One should know that ignorance can produce all defiled dharmas.'
