二亦下，約心境釋，二：初、正釋前義。謂此無明等者，意云：染心即無明，無明是不覺，不覺依於覺，覺即是本心，都無外境相應，故云即心不覺。此言即心，亦即本覺真心也，亦可通於真妄二心，如文易見。揀相應者，既無境為相對，約何以明相應耶？

[Regarding] "Second, also...", and so on: it explains in terms of mind and object, in two parts: first, directly explaining the previous meaning. [Regarding] "This avidyā", and so on: the meaning is that the defiled mind is precisely avidyā, avidyā is non-enlightenment, non-enlightenment relies on enlightenment, and enlightenment is precisely the original mind; there is entirely no external object conjoined with it. Hence it says: "the mind itself is non-enlightened." The phrase "the mind itself" also refers to the true mind of original enlightenment; it may also apply broadly to both minds, true and deluded, as is readily apparent from the text. [Regarding] "differentiating conjunction": since there is no object opposite it, on what basis could conjunction be elucidated?
