大乘起信論廣釋卷第三．四．五 5.84

5.84

Treatise: "Or they may also cause people... [down to] ...their complexion changes." Commentary: This is the fifth pair: changed mindfulness and physical appearance. As for "their complexion changes," this treatise says that it causes their physical appearance to become either attractive or ugly. Below this it further says that if one is disordered by seeing various afflictions, one will backslide and lose one's former roots of goodness. This is because the translators chose words with differences in brevity and expansiveness.
