2.42

[Treatise:] What does this mean?
[Exposition:] This inquires into the reason. There are two senses here: The perfuming of defilement and purity both exist without beginning; why is it that defiled perfuming has a termination, while pure perfuming is without interruption? Only when defilement and purity are mutually conditioned does the meaning of perfuming hold; if one has already attained buddhahood, there are no defiled dharmas, so how can it be said that the perfuming of pure dharmas is without interruption?
