仁王護國般若經疏 2.34

2.34

「得九十忍」者，四結。文二：先別結、次總結。今初。有人云：地前三賢三十心，一一中作下中上，或入住出等三品觀，合九十忍也。有人云：四三二一合成十忍，約三界九地，一一地中各有九品，成九十忍。又曰：諦觀二十謂十六諦及四諦，品觀有十謂四三二一，總成三十，各有下中上三品，成九十忍也。今謂九十忍者，是別結。經文中德不可眾多作異說也，但說具足二十二品，下至四三二一；數有八十一品，從此等法出四禪、四空、滅定，合九十忍。經雖無四禪等文，義推可爾云云。「一切功德皆成就」，次總結也。

"Attaining ninety patiences": the fourth is the conclusion. The text has two parts: first, an individual conclusion; next, a general conclusion. Now, the first. Some say: for the thirty minds of the three ranks of worthies prior to the stages, within each they practice three grades of contemplation—lower, middle, and upper, or entering, dwelling, and emerging—combining into ninety patiences. Some say: four, three, two, and one combine into ten patiences; in relation to the nine grounds of the three realms, within each ground there are nine grades, completing ninety patiences. Further, it is said: the contemplations of truth are twenty, meaning the sixteen truths and the four truths; the contemplations of grades are ten, meaning four, three, two, and one; altogether forming thirty, each having the three grades of lower, middle, and upper, completing ninety patiences. Now we state: the ninety patiences are an individual conclusion. The virtues in the sūtra text cannot be explained with diverse disparate theories; it merely speaks of being fully endowed with the twenty-two items down to four, three, two, and one; their count amounts to eighty-one grades, and from these dharmas arise the four dhyānas, the four formless absorptions, and the absorption of cessation, combining into ninety patiences. Although the sūtra has no explicit text for the four dhyānas and so on, it can be deduced through meaning, and so forth. "All merits are fulfilled": next is the general conclusion.
