Regarding "due to being without constructive and recollective conceptualization": This is stated in terms of the three kinds of conceptualization (vikalpa). As for the three conceptualizations, the Samuccaya states: 1. Conceptualization of intrinsic nature (svabhāva-vikalpa), meaning the conceptualization operating upon the self-characteristics of formations presently experienced. 2. Recollective conceptualization (anusmaraṇa-vikalpa), meaning the conceptualization operating by recalling formations previously experienced. 3. Constructive conceptualization (abhinirūpaṇā-vikalpa), meaning the conceptualization operating by contemplating and imagining matters not presently visible across past, future, and present. If one relies on the Kośa: constructive conceptualization takes distracted wisdom of the mental stage as its essence; recollective conceptualization takes mindfulnesses of the mental stage as its essence; and conceptualization of intrinsic nature pervades the six consciousnesses, operating purely spontaneously like a fish leaping from a spring.
