Third, subsumption under moral natures: herein, the view of a self, within the two consciousnesses, exists in the seventh consciousness solely as obstructed indeterminate (nivṛtāvyākṛta). Fascicle 63 of the Yogācārabald indicates: "The defilements of the manas are solely obstructed indeterminate in their nature." This is identical everywhere in the Xianyang and the Weishi, so there is no need for excessive citation. In the sixth consciousness there are briefly two kinds: first, innate (sahaja); second, discriminative (vikalpita). As for the innate, although it is subsumed under the obstructed, the fifty-eighth fascicle of the "Viniścayasamgrahaṇī" says: "It should be known that the innate satkāyadṛṣṭi is subsumed solely under the nature of the obstructed indeterminate." Such passages are not single, and cannot all be cited. Its discriminative view of a self is solely unwholesome in the desire realm, and subsumed under the obstructed [indeterminate] in the upper two realms. The fourth fascicle of the Abhidharmasamuccaya says: "Unwholesome by intrinsic nature refers to, excluding the defilements associated with the defiled manas and those of the form and formless realms, the remaining defilements and secondary defilements that are capable of generating evil deeds. Furthermore, what are these? Bound to the desire realm, those that do not arise spontaneously are unwholesome; if they arise spontaneously, those capable of generating evil deeds are also unwholesome; the remainder are obstructed indeterminate." Fascicle 6 of the [Cheng] weishi [lun] says: "Ill will is solely unwholesome, because it harms oneself and others. The remaining nine [fundamental kleśas] are common to both. Those of the upper two realms are subsumed solely under the indeterminate, because they are suppressed by concentration. If bound to the desire realm and arising through discrimination, they are subsumed solely under the unwholesome, because they generate evil deeds. If innate and generating evil karma, they are also subsumed under the unwholesome, because they harm oneself and others. The remainder are subsumed under the indeterminate, because being subtle, they do not obstruct wholesome [dharmas], and do not severely torment oneself or others. It should be known that the two innate views—of the body and of extremes—are subsumed solely under the indeterminate, as they do not generate evil deeds; although they frequently become manifest, they do not obstruct wholesome [dharmas]. That is, the innate in the three realms are solely obstructed indeterminate, and the discriminative view of a self in the upper realms is also like this. The discriminative in the desire realm is solely of unwholesome nature, because it harms oneself and others." Fascicle 2 of the Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra says: "Mahāmati! There are two kinds of body-views: innate and conceptualized. The innate body-view is not generated when greed is severed. Among the two kinds of body-views, the conceptualized body-view is not generated when doubt is severed." The innate refers to that which is associated with the seventh consciousness and that which arises spontaneously in the sixth consciousness. The conceptualized refers to that which arises through discrimination in the sixth consciousness. Fascicle 2 of the Guang bai lun also says: "However, views of a self are briefly of two kinds: first, innate; second, discriminative." This is the same as the first fascicle of this [Cheng] weishi [lun]. Therefore we know that both the sixth and seventh consciousnesses have the two graspings, and combined, their nature is common to both [unwholesome and indeterminate].
