六染等者，前云：當知無明能生一切染法，以一切染法皆是不覺相故。通事識者，即智相，以資熏枝末無明，令念相續，起於我執，造業受報故。業識能資熏根本無明，令起轉現故。今據下，明舉細攝麁也，但舉業識之細，自攝事識之麁。事識所緣者，以此六塵能熏動心海，起諸識浪，增長念取，生諸過故。

"Six defilements..." and so forth: Earlier it was said: "One should know that avidyā is able to produce all defiled dharmas, because all defiled dharmas are marks of non-enlightenment." "Penetrating the worldly consciousness (shishi)" refers to the mark of cognition, because it supports and perfumes branch-and-clover avidyā, causing thoughts to continue, arousing self-grasping, and creating karma to undergo retribution. The karma-consciousness can support and perfume fundamental avidyā, causing it to arouse the transforming and manifesting [consciousnesses]. "Now based on..." clarifies mentioning the subtle to subsume the coarse: merely mentioning the subtlety of the karma-consciousness naturally subsumes the coarseness of the worldly consciousness. "The cognized objects of the worldly consciousness": because these six dusts can perfume and stir the ocean of the mind, arousing waves of the various consciousnesses, increasing thoughts and grasping, and generating various faults.
