The question arises as to why the explanation of the path to liberation through the nine substances is being given. The Acharya explains this by saying that just as water enters through a doorway, so too does the influx of karmic matter (āsrava) of both merit and demerit through the doorway of emotions (bhāva). Here, the entry is the main point, but in the case of merit and demerit, the main point is their staying on after entry in the form of the states of existence (sthiti), experience (anubhāga), and bondage (bandha). Thus, in the second major section dealing with the nine substances, the explanation of the influx of merit and demerit is mainly concluded in the sixth chapter of the sixth section.
The Hindi translation says: "Further, the explanation of the influx of demerit is given in detail."
The general meaning with the grammatical structure is: [Saṇṇāo] four designations, [Ya] and [Tilesa] three blemishes (Indriyavasada) being under the control of the senses (Ya) and (Attaruhaṇi) agitated, fierce meditation, [Duppouttam ṇāṇam] knowledge applied to wrong actions (Cha) and (Moho) delusion, all these (Pāvaṇyadā) are givers of demerit (Hoti) are.
The specific meaning is: These four designations, namely food, fear, sexual intercourse, and possessions, are different from the pure consciousness that is devoid of designations like food, etc. The three inauspicious blemishes, namely black, blue, and dove-colored, are those that retain the characteristics of the tendency of the yogas, which are colored by the arising of the passions, and are distinct from the pure consciousness that is free from both passions and yogas. The dependence on the objects of the five senses is the covering of the culmination of the taste of the independent, transcendental pleasure. The four types of agitated meditation are those that are filled with the desire for the four causes, namely, favorable conjunction, unfavorable separation, destruction of disease, and enjoyment, which obstruct the feeling of pure consciousness that is devoid of all desires. The four types of fierce meditation are those that arise from a wicked mind that is distant from the feeling of pure consciousness that is devoid of the force of anger, and are involved in the protection of violence, lying, stealing, and possessions. The knowledge that is applied to any other evil state, abandoning both good use and pure use, and being under the control of false views and passions, is called misused knowledge. The delusion that destroys the self-realization that is devoid of the network of alternatives like egotism, etc., which arises from the arising of delusion, is called the delusion of perception and the delusion of conduct. This is the elaborate explanation of the various states and emotions. All these emotions are the cause of the influx of karmic matter of demerit. Thus, one should understand the expansion of the influx of demerit, which is caused by the influx of karmic matter of demerit, as mentioned in the previous sutra. This is the meaning.
Here, someone might ask, "Why is the explanation of the influx of merit and demerit being given when both merit and demerit had already been discussed earlier?" The Acharya answers this by saying that just as water enters through a doorway, so too does the influx of karmic matter (āsrava) of both merit and demerit through the doorway of emotions (bhāva). Here, the entry is the main point, but in the case of merit and demerit, the main point is their staying on after entry in the form of the states of existence (sthiti), experience (anubhāga), and bondage (bandha).
