1.158

Fa's Record states: The seven locations, eight assemblies, and various chapters are different, yet it resides solely in the "Chapter on the Grounds." Why is that? Because it is the root, exhausting the apprehension of phenomena. Just as in the Siddhaṃ syllabary, the first chapter is the root for all letters, so too the ten grounds are the root for all worldly and transmundane phenomena; hence it says that it exhausts the subsumption of phenomena.
