JH-C

Comment: Virtuous mental factors are one of six main groupings of mental factors (sems byung, caitta): 

(1) five omnipresent ( ཀུན་འགྲོ, sarvatraga) mental factors; 

(2) five determining ( ཡུལ་ངེས, viSaya-pratiniyama) mental factors; 

(3) eleven virtuous ( དགེ་བ, kuzala) mental factors; 

(4) six root afflictions ( རྩ་ཉོན, mUla-kleza); 

(5) twenty secondary afflictions (nye nyong, upakleza); and 

(6) four changeable (gzhan 'gyur, anyathAbhAva) mental factors. "Indicated" or "revealed" (lung du bstan pa) means here "that which abides as either * or non-*." Thus, in this case of defining *, it means that which is virtuous. It means that which is definite as virtuous or non-virtuous. It does not necessarily refer to Buddha's having said it this way or that way which is what those words often mean ("indicated in scripture"). "Abides in the class of that which issues forth happiness" is said because there are, for instance, virtues which have been overcome by hatred and do not issue forth happiness, but they are still virtues. The phrase means that there are exceptions that merely "abide in the class of."
