7.186

下合河喻，先合彼河，後合求渡。前中初言「河即煩惱」，舉喻略合，下廣合之，於中有其十二復次：初五如河；次三過河。於中初一明壞身心及諸善法、二能漂溺三界人天、三唯菩薩六行能渡，世河不爾；次二如河；後二過河，於中初明闡提沒中餘不能救，後明二乘七覺不竭，河不如是，是以言過。

Below is the application of the parable of the river. First it applies that river, and afterwards it applies seeking to cross. In the former, it first states, "The river is afflictions," briefly applying the simile by raising it. Below, it expands upon the application, wherein there are twelve points: the first five are like the river; the next three surpass the river. Among them, the first explains that it destroys body and mind as well as all good dharmas; the second, that it can drift and drown humans and devas of the three realms; the third, that only the bodhisattva's six practices can cross it, whereas worldly rivers are not like this; the next two are like the river; the last two surpass the river, wherein the first explains that when an icchantika drowns in it, others cannot rescue them, and the second explains that the seven factors of awakening of the two vehicles cannot dry it up. A [worldly] river is not like this, and therefore it is said to surpass it.
