大乘義章 5.79

5.79

八惡覺之義，出《地持論》。邪心思想，名之為覺。覺違正理，故稱為惡。惡覺不同，離分有八。八名是何？一是欲覺、二是瞋覺、三名害覺、四親里覺、五國土覺、六不死覺、七族姓覺、八輕侮覺。思量世間可貪之事，而起欲心，名為欲覺。思量世間怨憎之事，而起瞋心，名為瞋覺，亦名恚覺。念知打罵乃至奪命，名為害覺，亦名惱覺。追憶親戚，名親理覺。念世安危，名國土覺。謂身不死，為積眾具，名不死覺。又積眾具，資身令活，亦名不死覺。思念氏族若高若下，名族姓覺。念陵他人，名輕侮覺。侮猶慢也。此八猶是修道四使。欲、親、國土，貪分攝。瞋、害二覺，是瞋分攝。不死覺者，是癡分攝。族姓輕侮，是慢分攝。八覺如是。

The meaning of the eight evil thoughts comes from the *Bodhisattvabhūmi* (*Dichi lun*). The thinking and conceptualizing of an errant mind is called "thought." Because the thought contravenes correct principle, it is called "evil." Evil thoughts are distinct and are divided into eight. What are the eight names? First is the thought of sensual desire (kāma-vitarka); second is the thought of ill-will (vyāpāda-vitarka); third is called the thought of harm (vihiṃsā-vitarka); fourth is the thought of kin (jñāti-vitarka); fifth is the thought of country (janapada-vitarka); sixth is the thought of non-death (amarṣa-vitarka); seventh is the thought of lineage (kula-vitarka); and eighth is the thought of slighting others (parāvañjanā-vitarka). Thinking and calculating worldly covetable things and giving rise to a desirous mind is called the thought of sensual desire. Thinking and calculating worldly resentments and hostilities and giving rise to an angry mind is called the thought of ill-will, also called the thought of malice. Thinking of striking, scolding, or even taking life is called the thought of harm, also called the thought of vexation. Recollecting relatives is called the thought of kin. Thinking of the security or peril of the world is called the thought of country. Believing that one's body will not die and therefore amassing various provisions is called the thought of non-death. Furthermore, amassing various provisions to sustain the body and keep it alive is also called the thought of non-death. Reflecting on one's clan as noble or base is called the thought of lineage. Thinking of encroaching upon others is called the thought of slighting others; "slighting" is equivalent to arrogance. These eight are none other than the four proclivities of the path of cultivation: desire, kin, and country are subsumed under the category of lust; the two thoughts of ill-will and harm are subsumed under the category of aversion; the thought of non-death is subsumed under the category of ignorance; and lineage and slighting are subsumed under the category of conceit. The eight thoughts are such.
