11.4

Regarding 'Ignorance is the cause,' etc., the Laṅkāvatāra says: 'Deluded thought is the cause, sense-objects are the condition, and coming together they arise.' The commentary uses this to section the treatise text; in the sūtra, 'deluded thought' is ignorance. As for 'ignorance produces the three subtle marks,' the text below speaks of their producing one another in turn; here it speaks merely in terms of the root, and therefore says 'ignorance is the cause.'
