The treatise does not mention them exhaustively, so it only indicates one. It can also be that when avidyā perfumes the real, it only forms the karmic consciousness; only when the karmic consciousness perfumes avidyā does it give rise to the transforming and manifesting \[consciousnesses\], so it only indicates one. Regarding "namely branch-and-leaf and so forth": now the consciousness of phenomena directly arises from sense-objects. That sense-objects do not perish is due to the power of branch-and-leaf avidyā perfuming tathatā from thought to thought. How does it perfume? It is merely that with respect to sense-objects, one does not understand their emptiness and unreality, and definitely grasps them as truly existent; this is called perfuming. Because of definitely grasping, it gives rise to the subsequent marks. Thus, taking the delusion of the former is that which establishes: that which establishes is branch-and-leaf non-awakening; what arises later is that which is established: that which is established is the consciousness of phenomena of the six coarse marks. It is like the aforementioned matter of sleeping and dreaming: mind and objects are already complete, and grasping within them, not understanding that it is a dream, is like that which establishes, avidyā; conceptually differentiating the objects before one is like that which is established, the consciousness of phenomena. However, not understanding the false is itself perfuming the real, mutually accomplishing each other; citing the text makes this clear. Regarding "Only branch-and-leaf..." below: this explains the above words "what arises"; it means that fundamental avidyā is that which can give rise \[to them\], so it is contrasted with the fundamental above to clarify the branch-and-leaf. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 13.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.13.43) - [Next: 13.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.13.45) - [Up: 13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.13) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.13.44) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.13.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.13.44) · Pramāṇa
