5.73

四釋文，於此品中有說分，為四分：初請、二說、三證、四頌。今說於中有二，初長行散說、後偈頌總攝。前中亦二，初此界、後結通。前中亦二，初正說、後證成。前中亦二，初問、後答。

Fourth, explaining the text: in this chapter, there is the division of expounding, which comprises four sections: first, the request; second, the exposition; third, the verification; fourth, the verses. In the exposition, there are two parts: first, the prose that explains at length; and subsequent, the verses that summarize [it]. In the former, there are also two parts: first, this world; and subsequent, concluding by extending [it universally]. In the former, there are also two parts: first, the exposition proper; and subsequent, the verification and completion. In the former, there are also two parts: first, the question; and subsequent, the answer.
