二、釋三轉。「眼智明覺」者，暹云：《俱舍》云「於見道中法忍名眼，法智名智，類忍名明，智名覺。觀見名眼，決斷名智，照了名明，驚察名覺。又眼總知三世，智知過去，明照未來，覺知現在。秖是三明之異名。三轉各生此四，故名十二行也。」「大千」者，四大洲、日月、蘇迷盧、欲天、梵世各一千，名一小千界。此小千千倍，說名一中千。此中千千倍，名為大千界。

Second, explaining the three turnings. As for "vision, knowledge, illumination, and awakening," [Dao]xian says: The Kośa states: "In the path of seeing, patience regarding phenomena is called 'vision'; knowledge of phenomena is called 'knowledge'; subsequent patience is called 'illumination'; and subsequent knowledge is called 'awakening'. Observing and seeing is called vision, decisive judgment is called knowledge, illuminating comprehension is called illumination, and alert discernment is called awakening. Furthermore, vision knows the three times collectively, knowledge knows the past, illumination illuminates the future, and awakening knows the present. These are merely different names for the three clear knowledges. Each of the three turnings generates these four, hence they are called the twelve modes." As for "the great thousand," one thousand each of the four great continents, the sun and moon, Mount Sumeru, the desire heavens, and the Brahmā world is called a small-thousand realm. One thousand times this small-thousand is called a medium-thousand. One thousand times this medium-thousand is called a great-thousand realm.
