次引論，如文。次釋壽量兩字，即向三如來之壽量也。故釋壽量中各具足三義，於中先略釋壽，次廣釋量，此是壽家之量，故廣釋量即是廣壽。初釋壽中先釋字義，次「真如」下即以字義而通三身。次釋「量」字，於中為七，初明義通，隨三如來自無定故，以成三句用釋三身。次「復次」下更專以四句消前三身。三「一身即是」下融通三身。四「隨緣」下赴機不定。五「此品」下約身以判。六「復次」下判於本迹。七問答釋疑。

Next, citing the treatise, as in the text. Next, explaining the two characters "life span" (shòuliàng): that is, the life span of the aforesaid three Tathāgatas. Therefore, within explaining the life span, each fully possesses three meanings. Herein, first briefly explaining "life" (shòu), next broadly explaining "span" (liàng): this is the span of life, so broadly explaining span is precisely broadly explaining life. First, within explaining life, it first explains the character's meaning; next, from "true suchness" below, it uses the character's meaning to extend through the three bodies. Next, explaining the character "span": herein there are seven parts. First, clarifying that the meaning is universally applicable: following the three Tathāgatas, since it is naturally not fixed, it forms three propositions to explain the three bodies. Second, from "Furthermore" below, it specifically uses four propositions to resolve the previous three bodies. Third, from "One body is precisely" below, it mutually integrates the three bodies. Fourth, from "Accord with conditions" below, it responds to capacities unfixedly. Fifth, from "This chapter" below, it evaluates in terms of the bodies. Sixth, from "Furthermore" below, it evaluates origin and traces. Seventh, questions and answers resolving doubts.
