大乘起信論略述 2.10

2.10

論。無明熏習至事識義故　述曰。此即廣前以名無明熏真義也。以成此無明有二種異故。無明熏義有二種。根本無明而能覆熏未起真如。今成動念業轉現識本識妄心。故云根本熏習以能成就業識義等。枝末無明又更覆熏已起真如成其事識。故云所起見愛熏習能成分別事識義也。

[Treatise:] The perfuming of avidyā [...] meaning of the consciousness of phenomena. [Commentary:] This expands upon the previous meaning of avidyā perfuming suchness. Because this avidyā is accomplished in two different kinds, the meaning of avidyā's perfuming has two kinds. Fundamental avidyā can cover and perfume unarisen suchness, causing it to become the active thought of karma, evolving, and manifestation-consciousness—the deluded mind of the fundamental consciousness; hence it is said, "fundamental perfuming can accomplish the meaning of the karma-consciousness," and so forth. Secondary avidyā further covers and perfumes the already-arisen suchness to form its consciousness of phenomena; hence it is said, "the perfuming of the arisen views and love can accomplish the meaning of the discriminating consciousness of phenomena."
