法華文句記 7.205

7.205

若爾，餘之三位皆應兩釋，一者三位若不值佛各不增長，若得值佛當位增長；二者於法華前住四位身被佛調熟，若至法華得入一實，方名增長。

If so, the remaining three stages should all have two explanations: first, if these three stages do not encounter a buddha, each does not grow, but if they are able to encounter a buddha, they grow in their respective stages; second, prior to the Lotus, abiding in the bodies of the four stages, they are seasoned by the Buddha, and only when they arrive at the Lotus and are able to enter the One Real is it named growth.
