56.24

第二「乃見其人」下見敬諮問，中三：初見次敬。後「而作」下諮問。於中二：先自陳發心：後「而我」下正問。有十二句，初二句總、餘十句別。釋通橫竪，橫釋可知，竪配十地，一證發心故不退；二不誤犯故；三得禪定故；四精進故；五入俗故須總持；六般若現故；七權實雙行為甚深義，得觀察智慧地故，具足辯才；八無功用方為正念；九力增上故；十智增上故。

Second, from "Then seeing that person..." onward, seeing, paying respects, and inquiring, in which there are three parts: first, seeing; next, paying respects; afterwards, from "and said..." onward, inquiring. Within this, there are two parts: first, he personally sets forth his arousal of bodhicitta; afterwards, from "yet I..." onward, he poses the formal question. There are twelve clauses: the first two clauses are general, and the remaining ten clauses are specific. The explanation applies both horizontally and vertically. The horizontal explanation can be understood. Vertically, they are matched to the ten stages: first, because of realizing the arousal of bodhicitta, hence non-retrogression; second, because of not mistakenly violating; third, because of attaining dhyāna; fourth, because of diligence; fifth, because when entering the conventional realm, dhāraṇī is needed; sixth, because prajñā manifests; seventh, expedient means and reality practiced together constitute the profound meaning, and having attained the stage of observant wisdom, one is fully endowed with eloquence; eighth, non-effort is only then right mindfulness; ninth, because of the predominance of power; tenth, because of the predominance of wisdom.
