### [25.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1767.25.5)

「爾時師子吼」下，第二有四番問答，明能見之行。初番先問、次答。問又二：先舉僧寶問、次舉佛說難。初文者，即四依人問，心是內本、行是外迹。言初二種者，以初二濫後二，故不可知。「如佛所說」下，第二正舉佛難。直置僧寶尚已難知，況乃如來。但見色身聞說法，云何依此二事知是如來？佛答又二：先答僧、次答佛。初答僧為三：一結問。「以難知」下，次以四緣故知。「具足四事」下，三結成，可知。「戒有二種」下，第二答佛問。復有六番：初番，持戒究竟不究竟？「復有二種」下，第二番，為利不為利？後四番，悉如文，可尋。

> From "At that time, Siṃhanāda..." below is the second part with four rounds of questions and answers, clarifying the practice that enables seeing. In the first round, there is first a question, then an answer. The question also has two parts: first questioning with reference to the Saṅgha jewel, then raising an objection based on the Buddha's words. The first passage is a question about the people of the four reliances: the mind is the internal root, and conduct is the external trace. As for "the first two kinds," because the first two may be confused with the latter two, they are unknowable. From "As the Buddha has spoken..." below is the second part, directly raising the objection concerning the Buddha. Leaving aside the Saṅgha jewel which is already hard to know, how much more so the Tathāgata? Merely seeing the physical body and hearing the preaching of Dharma, how can one know this is the Tathāgata based on these two matters? The Buddha's answer also has two parts: first answering concerning the Saṅgha, then answering concerning the Buddha. The first answer concerning the Saṅgha has three parts: first, repeating the question. From "Because they are hard to know..." below, next knowing through four conditions. From "Being endowed with four matters..." below, third, concluding and establishing, which can be understood. From "Morality is of two kinds..." below is the second part answering the question concerning the Buddha. There are also six rounds: the first round, is upholding morality ultimate or non-ultimate? From "Furthermore, there are two kinds..." below is the second round, is it for gain or not for gain? The latter four rounds are all as in the text, and can be traced.
