3.78

六、明開麁顯妙者,前十六番智,若不決了,但是麁智;若得決了,悉成妙智。何者?如妙莊嚴王,先是外道世智,聞《法華經》便得決了,以邪相入正相,於諸見不動而修三十七品,不捨八邪而入八正,即是決於世智,得入妙智。或與五品齊,或與相似齊,或與分得齊,節節有入,義細作(云云)。

Sixth, clarifying opening the crude and revealing the wonderful: if the previous sixteen sets of wisdom are not resolved, they are merely crude wisdom; if they are resolved, all become wonderful wisdom. How so? For example, King Śubhavyūha was originally a non-Buddhist with mundane wisdom; upon hearing the Lotus Sūtra he attained resolution, entering the correct mark by means of the false mark, cultivating the thirty-seven factors [of enlightenment] without stirring from views, and entering the eightfold noble [path] without abandoning the eight wrong [paths]—this is resolving mundane wisdom to enter wonderful wisdom. It may match the five grades, or match the likeness [stage], or match the partial realization [stage]; each stage has its entry, and the meaning can be elaborated in detail, as explained above.
