Fifth, using the coarse and subtle aspects of the defiled mind provisionally across three stages to clarify the three bodies: as the Suvarṇaprabhāsa-sūtra says, 'Relying on the paths of subduing, when the mind initiating activities is exhausted, one reveals the emanation body; relying on the paths of phenomenal abandonment, when the mind relying on the root is exhausted, one reveals the response body; relying on the path of supreme uprooting, when the root mind is exhausted, one reveals the Dharma body.' Someone interprets this: The path of subduing is the pre-bhūmi mind initiating activities, which is the sixth consciousness; the path of phenomenal abandonment is on the bhūmis, where the mind relying on the root is manas, because it relies on and conditions the fundamental mind of the ālaya consciousness; the path of supreme uprooting is the vajropama stage, where the root mind is the ālaya consciousness.
