自下第三重顯向前無犯中義,有二問答:前一問答重顯初段正中之義,後一問答重顯初段邪中之義。向前正中有何不了而須重顯?前說有性當得菩提,不犯重罪,宣說有性,不犯須釋,故今重論。又復向前宣說不犯,未明其犯,故今重辯。向前邪中有何不了更須重顯?前說比丘少欲住空,他讚不犯,未明犯義,故須辯之。

From here below, the third [part] re-elucidates the meaning of non-transgression spoken of above. There are two questions and answers: the former question and answer re-elucidates the meaning of the correct teachings in the initial section; the latter question and answer re-elucidates the meaning of the deviant teachings in the initial section. What was unclear in the correct teachings above such that they must be re-elucidated? Previously, it was said that having [buddha]-nature one will attain bodhi, and this is not an infraction of a grave offense; preaching that there is a nature is not an infraction, but this needs explanation, and therefore it is discussed again here. Moreover, while it was previously proclaimed that there is no infraction, what constitutes an infraction was not yet clarified; therefore, it is differentiated again here. What was unclear in the deviant teachings above such that they need further re-elucidation? Previously, it was said that when a monk of few desires dwells in emptiness and is praised by others, there is no infraction; yet the meaning of an infraction was not yet clarified, and therefore it must be differentiated.
