7.18

什曰:梵本云「至色無色界」,凡夫生彼則謂為涅槃第一最勝。今有為而生,不以為勝也。肇曰:上二界道受有之因,雖同其行,知其卑陋也。

[Kumāra]jīva says: The Sanskrit text says 'attains the form and formless realms'. When ordinary people are born there, they deem it the foremost and most supreme nirvāṇa. Now, [the bodhisattva] takes birth there conditioned by volitional action, yet does not consider it supreme. [Seng]zhao says: The path of the upper two realms is the cause for obtaining existence; though sharing in their practice, [the bodhisattva] understands their lowliness.
