二、明有餘土者,二乘、三種菩薩證方便道之所居也。何者?若修二觀斷通惑盡,恒沙別惑無明未斷,捨分段身而生界外受法性身,即有變易所居之土,名為有餘,亦名方便,方便行人之所居也。故《攝大乘》七種生死,此即第四方便生死。

Second, as for explaining the land with remainder: it is where the two vehicles and the three kinds of bodhisattvas who have realized the path of expedient means dwell. Why so? If, practicing the two contemplations, they completely sever the shared afflictions, but the sand-grain separate afflictions and ignorance have not yet been severed, they cast off the body of fragmentary [saṃsāra] and are born outside the realms, receiving a body of dharma-nature; thus, having the land inhabited by [those undergoing] transformational [saṃsāra], it is called "with remainder" and also called "expedient means"—the dwelling place of practitioners of expedient means. Therefore, of the seven kinds of birth and death in the Mahāyānasaṃgraha, this is the fourth, "birth and death of expedient means."
