論。此義云何至說有無明　述曰。自下別釋。於中有三。先釋依心。次釋意轉。後意識轉。此初也。此義云何者。問其依心意識轉義。依阿黎耶識者是上依心。是生滅因即阿黎耶二義之中本覺義也。說有無明者。是生滅緣即二義中不覺義也。欲明依此因緣意意識轉故言以依阿黎耶識等。前標文中略標其因。但言依心。今依此別釋具顯因緣。故說依心及無明也。

> The treatise says: "What does this mean? \[...\] it is said that avidyā exists."  
>   
> The commentary says: From here below is the specific explanation. In this there are three: first, explaining reliance on the mind; next, explaining the evolution of manas; finally, the evolution of the consciousness of the mind. This is the first. "What does this mean?" inquires into the meaning of the consciousness of the mind evoluting based on the mind. "Based on the ālayavijñāna" refers to "based on the mind" above; it is the cause of arising and ceasing, which is the meaning of original awakening within the two meanings of the ālaya. "It is said that avidyā exists" is the condition of arising and ceasing, which is the meaning of non-awakening within the two meanings. Wishing to clarify that based on these causes and conditions the manas and consciousness of the mind evolute, it says "because based on the ālayavijñāna," and so forth. In the previous introductory text, it briefly indicated the cause, only saying "based on the mind"; now, based on this specific explanation, it fully reveals cause and condition, and therefore speaks of relying on the mind and on avidyā.
