1.66

譬喻者,譬如總名人身,開身則有識、命、煖,分別諸身貴、賤、賢、愚,種種差降。人身譬名,識以譬體,命以譬宗,煖以譬用,分別譬教相(云云)。

As for analogies: it is like generally naming the human body; analyzing the body reveals consciousness, life-force, and warmth; differentiating various bodies reveals noble, base, worthy, and foolish, with varied gradations. The human body is an analogy for the title; consciousness serves as an analogy for the substance; life-force serves as an analogy for the central purport; warmth serves as an analogy for the function; and differentiating [them] serves as an analogy for the classification of teachings (and so forth).
