起信論疏筆削記 14.9

14.9

On the Śāstra's text from "Such" onward: Third, he concludes both as difficult to comprehend. On the Commentary's text from "All rely on" onward: if judged according to their arising, they arise in succession; here, treating them horizontally, they all rely on avidyā. "Not one" means that the two obscurations alternate as prior and posterior; "differences" refers to the distinction between equal proportions and predominant increases. On "Only a Buddha fully knows," and so forth: from this level downward, each conforms to their own lot and cannot know exhaustively; only a Buddha has fathomless realization, and therefore can know. Hence the earlier commentary states: "If one reaches the source of the mind and attains non-thought, one then ubiquitously knows the differences in the four marks of the movement of the One Mind of all sentient beings."
