大乘入道次第開決 1.222

1.222

然從諸煩惱麁重等者。此通伏難顯斷義也若於三世無惑斷者。何故諸教說斷惑耶。故此答言。若於現惑雖無斷義。可從麁重種得名斷。然者則是許可義故。

Regarding "yet from the crude heaviness of the afflictions" and so forth: this resolves an implicit objection and reveals the meaning of severing. If in the three times there are no afflictions to be severed, why do the various teachings speak of severing afflictions? Therefore, this answers: although in active afflictions there is no meaning of severing, it can be designated as severing from the perspective of the seeds of crude heaviness. "Yet" has the sense of concession.
