10.6

第五從「三十三天王」以下至「大自在天王」，於中有十天王，明十地利生因果。已上五眾是寄位，表佛果五位行門因果故。為利眾生故，寄位顯法、寄位入法，與眾生作法，令眾生證修。

Fifth, from the "kings of the thirty-three heavens" down to the "kings of the Maheśvara heaven," among which are ten heavenly kings, they explain the cause and fruition of benefiting beings in the ten grounds. The five assemblies above are assigned to stages to symbolize the cause and fruition of the practice-gates of the five stages in the Buddha's fruition. For the sake of benefiting sentient beings, stages are assigned to reveal the Dharma, and stages are assigned to enter the Dharma, providing a model for sentient beings so that sentient beings may realize and cultivate it.
