大乘起信論略述 2.41

2.41

論。復次染法至盡於未來　述曰。上已廣顯染淨義。自下第四顯染淨熏盡義。於中有三。初標舉其相。次徵問所由。後釋義所以。此初也。染法謂即本末不覺。淨法謂即本始二覺。雖皆無始。而相熏習由常有斷無斷。

[Treatise:] Furthermore, defiled dharmas […] to the end of the future.
[Exposition:] Above, the meanings of defilement and purity were broadly displayed. From here downward is the fourth section, displaying the meaning of the termination of defiled and pure perfuming. In this there are three parts: first, designating and raising its characteristics; next, inquiring into the reason; next, explaining the rationale of the meaning. This is the first. "Defiled dharmas" refers to fundamental and derivative non-awakening. "Pure dharmas" refers to original and initial awakening. Although both are beginningless, with respect to reciprocal perfuming there is termination and non-termination.
