六分五相者，長科此文總為五相：一寄位修行相，有四十一人；二從「摩耶夫人」下有九會十一人，明會緣入實相；三彌勒一人，明攝德成因相；四後文殊一人，明智照無二相；五普賢一位，明顯因廣大相。又此五相亦是菩薩五種行相，一高行、二大行、三勝行、四深行、五廣行。

Sixth, dividing into five aspects: in an extensive division, this text consists altogether of five aspects: 1. the aspect of practicing cultivation by being entrusted to stages, with forty-one persons; 2. from 'Lady Māyā' onward, there are nine assemblies with eleven persons, explaining the aspect of converging conditions to enter reality; 3. Maitreya as one person, explaining the aspect of subsuming virtues to accomplish the cause; 4. the latter Mañjuśrī as one person, explaining the aspect of wisdom's non-dual illumination; 5. the single stage of Samantabhadra, explaining the aspect of revealing the vastness of the cause. Furthermore, these five aspects are also five kinds of practice-aspects of bodhisattvas: 1. lofty practice; 2. great practice; 3. supreme practice; 4. profound practice; 5. vast practice.
