即心不覺，常無別異者，心，謂第八心王見分。不覺，謂染心種子，即是第八所緣相分。相、見皆依自證分起，故云無別異也。知相不同者，第八現行見分是能緣，故有知；染心種子不起現行，是不能緣，故無知也。緣相不同者，第八見分以三類性境為所緣，染心種子則無所緣境也。二別示次第竟。

"The mind is non-enlightened, constantly without differentiation": "mind" refers to the seeing division of the eighth primary mind; "non-enlightened" refers to the seeds of the defiled mind, which are precisely the objective division cognized by the eighth consciousness. Since both the objective and seeing divisions arise based on the self-verifying division, it is said that they are "without differentiation." "The marks of knowing are not identical" means that the active seeing division of the eighth consciousness is that which cognizes, and thus possesses knowing; the seeds of the defiled mind do not arise into actual activity and are unable to cognize, and thus are without knowing. "The marks of the objective referent are not identical" means that the seeing division of the eighth consciousness takes the three kinds of intrinsic realms as its cognitive object, whereas the seeds of the defiled mind have no objective realm that is cognized. The second section, specifically demonstrating the stages, is concluded.
