論 則不自在者,八、繫縛自在對。疏 業果等者,由心動故,起業受報,墮五趣中,名為繫縛。真如自在者,心不動故,即是真如。真如之中無有業繫,故云自在。上云等者,以此段中皆舉能顯妄染以對顯前淨德,論文略故,不具列之,故今疏中略指後之三義也。

[Śāstra:] "[Tathatā] is not unfree": this is the eighth [antithesis], bound versus free.
[Commentary:] "Karmic fruition and so forth": due to the mind's stirring, karma is initiated and retribution is received, falling into the five destinies, which is called "bound". "Tathatā is free": because the mind does not stir, it is identical to tathatā. Within tathatā there is no karmic bondage; hence it is called "free". "And so forth" above [indicates that] because this section throughout adduces the manifesting defilements to contrastively reveal the aforementioned pure virtues, and the text of the treatise is abridged and does not list them completely, the present commentary thus briefly points to the latter three meanings.
