第四「離生道」下五門,明四地中行。分三:初此門明清淨對治修行增長因、次門明其清淨、後三門明對治修行增長。今初,前三地寄同世間,有見等惑,猶如生食在腹。四地寄同出世,對治清淨能離彼生,謂離有為行故,得無生故,顯行純熟離生澁故,廣如《婆沙》。今是彼清淨對治之因,故名為道。《地經》有十法明門,初是觀察眾生,今但廣斯一句,餘略不具。結云不雜二乘者,以於十句雙行而修故,不同二乘見道離生矣。第二決定法者,明其清淨。上明能離,今顯所得,以得出世決定法故。故彼文云「得彼內法,生如來家。」十中,前五自分、後五勝進。

Under the fourth [heading], the five sections beginning with "the path of leaving behind the raw" (niyāmāvakrānti) explain the practice in the Fourth Stage. This is divided into three parts: first, this section explains the causes for the purification, antidotes, and cultivation's increase; the next section explains their purification; the last three sections explain the antidotes and the increase of cultivation. Now, concerning the first: the first three stages are provisionally likened to the worldly, where afflictions such as wrong views still exist, just like raw food in the stomach. The Fourth Stage is provisionally likened to the supramundane; its purified antidotes are capable of leaving behind that "rawness"—that is, leaving behind conditioned practices, attaining non-arising, and revealing practice that is fully ripened and free from raw harshness, as explained in detail in the *Vibhāṣā*. Here, it is the cause of that purified antidote, and hence is named the "path." The *Daśabhūmika-sūtra* has ten illumination-doors of the Dharma, the first of which is contemplating sentient beings; here, it only expands on this single clause, the rest being abbreviated. When the conclusion states "not mixed with the Two Vehicles," it is because one cultivates by practicing pairs across the ten clauses, unlike the Two Vehicles' leaving behind the raw upon the path of seeing. Second, the definitive dharmas explain its purification. Above explained the ability to leave behind; here reveals what is attained, since one attains the supramundane definitive dharmas. Hence that text says, "Attaining those internal dharmas, one is born into the family of the Tathāgata." Among the ten, the first five pertain to one's own level (svabhūmi), and the latter five to superior progress (viśeṣa-mārga).
