大般涅槃經集解 15.21

15.21

案僧亮曰：菩薩有三位，初地得無漏，是心位也；八地無漏，是身位也；第十地，是法王位也。明此第二依，未得八地以上二位也。法瑤曰：制十地為三住處。三住處者，六地已還，未出三界穢國，一住處。七地是二國中間，非淨非穢，為一住處。八地已上，相心都盡，名為淨國，為一住處。言此第二人，未得七地以上住處故也。僧宗曰：所以復須簡名者，聖位有三，而此人是四中之第二，恐濫聖位之第二，故須簡也。第三人者，聖之第二，即是四中之第三也。寶亮曰：就第二依人，向上數第三為第二，而第四為第三。雖復未得此位，而已得受記，登聖無漏也。

Sengliang notes: Bodhisattvas have three ranks. Attaining the taintless state at the first stage is the rank of mind; the taintless state at the eighth stage is the rank of body; the tenth stage is the rank of Dharma King. This clarifies that this second refuge has not yet attained the two ranks of the eighth stage and above. Fayao says: The ten stages are established as three dwelling places. The three dwelling places are: the sixth stage and downward, not yet having exited the defiled lands of the three realms, is one dwelling place; the seventh stage is intermediate between the two lands, neither pure nor defiled, as one dwelling place; from the eighth stage upward, ideation of marks is entirely exhausted, termed the pure land, as one dwelling place. This means that this second person has not yet attained the dwelling place of the seventh stage and above. Sengzong says: Why it is necessary to clarify the name is because the noble ranks are three, yet this person is the second of the four; fearing confusion with the second of the noble ranks, it must be distinguished. The third person is the second of the noble ranks, which is the third of the four. Baoliang says: With respect to the person of the second refuge, counting upward, the third is the second, and the fourth is the third. Although he has not yet attained this rank, he has already received prediction and ascended to noble taintlessness.
