4.35

論。以此妄心至熏習真如　釋曰。此明妄熏。於中有二。初正明熏習。後顯熏功能。此初也。此真如熏所起淨用返熏真如。增長勢力。厭生死苦。背無明動。樂求涅槃。向真靜故。

[Treatise:] With this deluded mind [...] perfumes tathatā. / [Commentary:] This explains perfuming by delusion. In this there are two parts: first directly explaining the perfuming, and then revealing the functional efficacy of perfuming. This is the first. This pure activity produced by the perfuming of tathatā inversely perfumes tathatā, increasing its strength, so that one reviles the suffering of saṃsāra, turns away from the movement of avidyā, delights in seeking nirvāṇa, and turns toward true stillness.
