7.24

「譬如五百由旬」自此下是第二譬說。此譬說中亦有三段，第一開譬，第二合譬，第三舉外譬帖結也。就開譬中自有五譬，即譬上五種法說本，第一明將導譬，第二懈退譬，第三設化城譬，第四知止息譬，第五將至寶所譬也。

"Suppose there is a [frightful way] of five hundred yojanas"—from this point downward is the second part, the exposition by parable. Within this exposition by parable there are also three sections: first, unfolding of the parable; second, application of the parable; third, citing an external parable to correspond and conclude. Within the unfolding of the parable there are five parables, which illustrate the five kinds of basis in the exposition by dharma above: first, explaining the parable of guiding; second, the parable of flagging and turning back; third, the parable of conjuring the transformed city; fourth, the parable of knowing to rest; fifth, the parable of leading to the jewel place.
