自下第二明轉業相。於中有三:一明眾生不定業多、定業至少,故有修轉;二正明轉相;三喻廣顯。初段可知。第二段中,先舉二人,次就明轉。愚轉有四:一不定作定、二現作生、三輕作重、四人中業地獄中受。智人亦四:一定作不定、二應生現受、三重作輕、四地獄人受。次列二名,下重囑當。第三段中十一復次,皆先立喻、後約顯法。

From here, the second [part] clarifies the characteristics of transforming karma. Herein there are three: first, clarifying that sentient beings have much indeterminate karma and very little determinate karma, and therefore have transformation through cultivation; second, directly clarifying the characteristics of transformation; third, broadly revealing them through similes. The first section can be understood. In the second section, it first presents two types of persons, and next clarifies transformation with reference to them. The foolish person's transformation has four: first, making the indeterminate determinate; second, making the present [retribution] into [retribution in] the next life; third, making the light heavy; fourth, karma [to be borne] among humans being received in the hells. The wise person also has four: first, making the determinate indeterminate; second, what should be received in the next life being received in the present; third, making the heavy light; fourth, [karma to be borne in] the hells being received among humans. Next, it lists two names, and below, reassigns them. In the third section, there are eleven subdivisions, all of which first establish a simile and afterward reveal the Dharma with reference to it.
