第七偈頌分中，以四句成一頌，即有一百一頌半，分二：初有九十二頌半頌前十住法、後九頌結歎勸修。前中頌十住即為十段。就初住有四十六頌，於中分四：初三頌前發心緣及體；二三十二頌得十力分；三從「菩薩如是發心已」下十一偈頌應學十法。第二中亦三：初十頌十力行；二有二頌求所知二諦法發心；三「震動」下二十頌為求佛三業發心，於中初十頌身業、二「十方」已下三頌語業、三「一切十方」下六頌意業、下一結歎。又此廣大三業是此住中所得，謂三業隨智行等（云云）。三頌勝進所學中，不退教者，說順正理教無改易，又說此入位不退之義教，又順此教法得不退故。前是持業，後二依主。於前勝進十法之中，十頌次第各頌一法，後一總結並可知。第二住中六頌，初二頌自分、後四頌勝進。第三住中有五頌，初二自分、後三勝進。第四住有六頌，初三自分、後三勝進。第五住有四頌半，初三自分、後一半明勝進。第六住有五頌，初四自分、後一勝進。第七住有四頌，初二自分、後二勝進。第八住有五頌，初三自分、後二勝進。第九住有三頌，初二自分、後一勝進。第十住有八頌，初五自分、次一顯德、後二勝進。第二大段結歎勸修中，九頌分三：初一總歎十住、二有七別歎初住、後一以初住倍類顯後。

In the seventh part, verses, four lines make one verse, yielding one hundred and one and a half verses, divided into two: first, ninety-two and a half verses versifying the preceding teachings of the ten abodes; second, nine verses concluding with praise and encouraging practice. In the former, versifying the ten abodes makes ten sections. Pertaining to the first abode there are forty-six verses, divided into four: first, three verses versify the conditions and essence of the preceding generation of the aspiration [for bodhi]; second, thirty-two verses on the section of attaining the ten powers; third, from 'The bodhisattva having thus generated the aspiration' down, eleven verses versify the ten dharmas to be studied. In the second [group], there are also three: first, ten verses on the practice of the ten powers; second, two verses on generating the aspiration to seek the dharmas of the two truths to be known; third, from 'shaking' down, twenty verses on generating the aspiration to seek the Buddha's three karmas, wherein the first ten verses are bodily karma, second, from 'the ten directions' down, three verses are verbal karma, third, from 'all the ten directions' down, six verses are mental karma, and the one below concludes in praise. Furthermore, these vast three karmas are what is attained in this abode, meaning that the three karmas follow the practice of wisdom and so forth. In the third [group], versifying what is to be studied in superior progress: 'unretrograde teaching' means expounding the teaching that accords with correct principle without alteration, and also means the doctrinal teaching of this meaning of entering non-retrogression in the stages, and also because by according with this Dharma teaching one attains non-retrogression. The former is a karmadhāraya compound; the latter two are tatpuruṣa compounds. Among the ten dharmas of superior progress mentioned before, ten verses in sequence each versify one dharma, and the last one summarizes, which are all understandable. In the second abode there are six verses: the first two versify its own stage, and the latter four versify superior progress. In the third abode there are five verses: the first two are its own stage, and the latter three are superior progress. In the fourth abode there are six verses: the first three are its own stage, and the latter three are superior progress. In the fifth abode there are four and a half verses: the first three are its own stage, and the latter half clarifies superior progress. In the sixth abode there are five verses: the first four are its own stage, and the latter one is superior progress. In the seventh abode there are four verses: the first two are its own stage, and the latter two are superior progress. In the eighth abode there are five verses: the first three are its own stage, and the latter two are superior progress. In the ninth abode there are three verses: the first two are its own stage, and the latter one is superior progress. In the tenth abode there are eight verses: the first five are its own stage, the next one reveals virtue, and the latter two are superior progress. In the second major section, concluding with praise and encouraging practice, nine verses are divided into three: the first one summarizes praise of the ten abodes; second, seven specifically praise the first abode; the last one uses the first abode as a benchmark to reveal the subsequent ones.
