第六明貪使過者。貪乃眾多或愛自身他身。或愛妻子室宅田園。或愛善法如愛佛菩提等。若依大乘此皆是使。若依小乘善貪非使。具說難盡。略述而已。

Sixth, explaining the fault of the proclivity of greed (rāga): greed is indeed manifold, either craving one's own body or another's body, or craving wife, children, residence, and fields, or craving wholesome dharmas such as craving the Buddha's bodhi and the like. According to the Mahāyāna, these are all proclivities; according to the Hīnayāna, wholesome greed is not a proclivity. To explain it fully would be endless; this is merely a brief account.
