大乘起信論略述 1.113

1.113

論。以有境界至生六種相　述曰。上明細相。下顯麁相。於中有二。總標別釋。此標也。六相。皆是分別事識依境界緣而生起故。於中初二。依境生執是其下品。細惑皆是地上斷故。其次二種依執起惑是中品惑。二乘斷故。其後二種依業受果。上品麁惑。凡夫知故。是故經言。境界風所動種種諸識浪騰躍而轉生。

The treatise says: "Because objects exist, [...] six kinds of aspects arise."

The commentary says: Above, the subtle aspects were clarified; below, the coarse aspects are revealed. In this there are two parts: a general introduction and a specific explanation. This is the introduction. The six aspects are all generated by the discriminating empirical consciousness based on the condition of objects. In this, the first two arise as grasping based on objects, which are the lower grade [of delusions]. Since they are subtle delusions, they are severed on the bhūmi stages. The next two kinds give rise to afflictions based on grasping; these are intermediate delusions, because they are severed by the two vehicles. The latter two kinds involve receiving retributions based on karma; they are upper-grade coarse delusions, because they are known by ordinary worldlings. Therefore the sūtra states: "Stirred by the wind of objects, the waves of the various kinds of consciousness surge and arise in turn."
