自下第三汎明餘經興廢所由,令人護持。文有六對:一有解義、不解義對,無解則滅,有解則住;二者有、無檀越相對,無則法滅,有則法住;第三貪利、不貪利對,貪利說經佛法則滅,無貪則住;四起諍訟、不諍訟對,諍則法滅,不諍則住;五畜、不畜對,畜不淨物、自稱得聖,佛法則滅,不畜不淨、不自稱聖佛法則住;六種種異說、不異說對,各執所見異說則滅,不執己見、不作異說佛法則住。

From here below is the third [section], which generally clarifies the causes of the flourishing and decline of other sūtras, causing people to protect and uphold them. The text has six pairs: first, the pair of understanding the meaning versus not understanding the meaning: if there is no understanding, it is extinguished; if there is understanding, it abides. Second, the pair of having versus lacking dānapatis: if lacking, the Dharma is extinguished; if having, the Dharma abides. Third, the pair of coveting gain versus not coveting gain: if one preaches the sūtras coveting gain, the Buddhadharma is extinguished; if without greed, it abides. Fourth, the pair of giving rise to disputes versus not giving rise to disputes: if there are disputes, the Dharma is extinguished; if no disputes, it abides. Fifth, the pair of storing versus not storing: if one stores impure things and falsely claims to have attained sagehood, the Buddhadharma is extinguished; if one does not store impure things and does not claim to be a sage, the Buddhadharma abides. Sixth, the pair of diverse heterodox explanations versus no heterodox explanations: if each clings to their own view and makes heterodox explanations, it is extinguished; if one does not cling to one's own view and does not make heterodox explanations, the Buddhadharma abides.
