第二別教五行之中，盡此品來教修聖行，〈梵行〉一品教修梵行，〈嬰兒〉一品教嬰兒行，天行一種玄指《雜華》，病行一種一向不論。何者是乎？有人釋言：前品所論五種之人，有病行處是其病行。彼是聲聞、緣覺病行，何關菩薩？又前所論雜病之行，今此所教治病之行，與前大別，何得指前？又前品中未標五行，以何義故豫說病行？判無斯理。若前非是，何者是乎？〈梵行品〉末闍王懺罪治病之法應是病行，故下文中世王殺父即是心病、身瘡增劇是其身病，佛放慈光治其身病、為說妙法除其心病，治此兩病故名病行。若彼懺罪非是病行，應有所指，不應直爾。

> Second, in teaching the five practices separately: up through the end of this chapter, it teaches the cultivation of noble practice; the single chapter 'Brahmacaryā Practice' teaches the cultivation of brahmacaryā practice; the single chapter 'Infant Practice' teaches infant practice; the single divine practice points mysteriously to the \*Avataṃsaka\*; while the single illness practice is not discussed at all. What is it? Someone explained: 'The five kinds of persons discussed in the preceding chapter—the place where they have illness practice is this illness practice.' But that is the illness practice of śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas; what does it have to do with bodhisattvas? Furthermore, what was discussed previously was the practice of mixed illnesses, whereas what is taught now is the practice of curing illnesses, which is vastly different from the former; how could it point to what preceded? Moreover, in the preceding chapter the five practices were not yet designated; on what basis would illness practice be spoken of in advance? There is conclusively no such principle. If the former is not it, what is it? King Ajātaśatru's repentance of transgressions and cure of illness at the end of the 'Brahmacaryā Practice Chapter' must be illness practice. Hence, in the text below, the king's killing of his father is the mental illness, and the eruption of sores on his body is his bodily illness. The Buddha emits a compassionate light to cure his bodily illness, and speaks the wondrous Dharma to eliminate his mental illness. Because it cures these two illnesses, it is called illness practice. If that repentance of transgressions were not illness practice, there should be something else indicated; it should not simply be left out.
