蓋聞。三界昏寢。皆由十使為窟宅。六賊攀緣。寔因五住為猛將。致使妄想虛構。惑倒交興。萬苦爭纏。百憂總萃。於是十使驅馳。十纏拘束。五鈍易沈。五利難制。苦集順流。無始常漂。滅道清虛。何由得證也。

We have heard that the dim slumber of the tridhātu is entirely because the ten underlying proclivities serve as its lair, and the climbing and grasping of the six thieves are truly because the five entrenchments act as their fierce generals. This causes false thoughts to be spuriously constructed and deluded inversions to arise together in contention. The ten thousand sufferings strive to entangle, and the hundred sorrows all gather. Thereupon, the ten proclivities drive [one] on, and the ten bonds bind [one] fast. The five dull ones easily sink down, and the five keen ones are difficult to control. The [truths of] suffering and accumulation flow downstream, constantly drifting through beginningless [time]; the [truths of] cessation and the path are pure and vacuous—by what means could they ever be realized?
