| + | |EnglishCommentary=The meaning of this verse is to be understood in brief through the [following] four verses. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ::'''Buddhahood is characterized''' | ||
| + | ::'''By [its] inseparable pure attributes'''— | ||
| + | ::'''The two characteristics of wisdom and relinquishment'''<ref>VT (fol. 14r3) relates "two"to "relinquishment,"referring to the characteristic of the elimination of afflictive and cognitive obscurations. </ref>— | ||
| + | ::'''Which are similar to the sun and the sky'''. II.4 | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ::'''It possesses all the buddha attributes''' | ||
| + | ::'''Which are beyond the sands of the river Gaṅgā [in number]''', | ||
| + | ::'''Luminous, unproduced,''' | ||
| + | ::'''And manifesting in an inseparable manner'''. II.5 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ::'''By virtue of not being established by any nature''', | ||
| + | ::'''Being pervasive, and being adventitious,''' | ||
| + | ::'''Afflictive and cognitive obscurations''' | ||
| + | ::'''Are described as being like clouds in it'''.<ref>I follow MA/MB ''tasmin'' against J ''tasmān''. </ref> II.6 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ::'''The cause of becoming separated''' | ||
| + | ::'''From the two obscurations is twofold wisdom'''. | ||
| + | ::'''This wisdom is asserted as the nonconceptual one''' | ||
| + | ::'''And the one attained subsequent to that'''. II.7 | ||
| + | |||
| + | As for its being said [above] that "purity is the nature of the fundamental change," here, in brief, purity is twofold—natural purity and the purity (P121a) of being without stains. Here, natural purity is [in itself] liberation, but it is not [yet] freed because the '''luminous''' nature of the mind has not become freed from '''adventitious''' stains. The purity of being '''without stains''' is [both] liberation and freed because the '''luminous''' nature of the mind has become freed from all '''adventitious''' stains without exception, just as water and so on [having become freed from] the stains of silt and so on.<ref>I follow MA/MB ''rajomalādibhyaḥ'' against J ''rajojalādibhyaḥ''. </ref> | ||
