金剛經纂要刊定記 3.199

3.199

又十八等者。此是無著論，明豎答三問之意也。若準天親解經，則明橫答三問，從「須菩提！但應如所教住」已下，即為別斷疑情。今明無著故有此說。意云：不唯四心、六度之中有住修降伏之義，其如十八住內，皆有此三。如初住中，度四生入涅槃是住義，無生可度是修義，無我等相是降伏義。初住既爾餘則皆然。

On "Moreover, the eighteen..." and so forth: this is Asaṅga's treatise clarifying the intention of vertically answering the three questions. If we follow Vasubandhu's explanation of the sūtra, he clarifies horizontally answering the three questions, and from "Subhūti! One should only abide as taught" downward, it serves to specifically sever doubts. Now clarifying Asaṅga, there is thus this explanation. The intention says: not only within the four minds and the six perfections are there the meanings of abiding, cultivating, and subduing, but throughout the eighteen abidings, all possess these three. For example, in the first abiding, saving the four kinds of born beings and bringing them into nirvāṇa is the meaning of abiding; having no sentient beings to save is the meaning of cultivating; and being without marks of self and so forth is the meaning of subduing. The first abiding being so, the rest are all like this.
