「學無學」者,三藏中十八種學人,九種無學人;通教五地皆名學,六地名無學,又通教九地名為學,佛地為無學;別圓中,或就功用、無功用,或就具足、未具足,明學無學。《阿含》云:「外道問佛:『羅漢更學不?』佛言:『羅漢不作惡法,住於善法,學其無學即名為學。』」若爾,學人亦稱無學。學人齊其所斷,不復更斷,即是無學,是為四句。就五方便,非學非無學,便是五句。約四教中例亦應爾,四五二十句。

"Trainees and non-trainees": in the Tripiṭaka [teaching], there are eighteen kinds of persons in training and nine kinds of persons beyond training. In the shared teaching, the [first] five stages are all called 'training', and the sixth stage is called 'beyond training'; alternatively, in the shared teaching, the [first] nine stages are called 'training', and the Buddha stage is 'beyond training'. In the distinctive and perfect [teachings], [trainees and non-trainees] are clarified either in terms of effort and effortless, or in terms of complete and incomplete. The Āgamas state: "A non-Buddhist asked the Buddha, 'Does an arhat still train?' The Buddha said, 'An arhat does not commit bad dharmas and abides in good dharmas; training in what is beyond training is precisely termed training.'" If so, a trainee is also called a non-trainee. A trainee, to the extent of what he has severed, severs no further, which is precisely 'beyond training'. These constitute the four propositions. In terms of the five expedient means, being neither trainee nor non-trainee constitutes the fifth proposition. Across the four teachings, it should also be like this by analogy: four times five is twenty propositions.
