5.10

六、三明。「皆約三通」等者，於六通以宿命通見過苦生大厭離，天眼知未來生苦生大厭離，漏盡於現在能作正觀斷煩惱，故此三通別受明名。其餘三者，身通但是工巧，天耳但聞聲，他心緣他別想，是故餘三但得名通。此如《婆沙》中說。「通明」下，應問云此三既得名通，復名為明，二義何異？故今釋云：通明異者等也。「一往遠事」者，即直知三世。「見根本」者，即知三世因緣行業。此亦依《婆沙》也。故荊溪云：以從業來，業為根本。別圓即以迷於真如而為根本，故云並通達界外三世，亦應更云九世故也。三明亦得從因為名，即以時節不思議智而為其體。「下文云」者，若準此意，唯在於圓，尚不通別，寄此通辨亦可知也。

Sixth, the three clarities. Regarding "all are treated according to the three supernormal powers, etc.,": among the six supernormal powers, through the recollection of past lives one sees past suffering and gives rise to great revulsion; through the divine eye one knows future suffering and gives rise to great revulsion; through the extinction of outflows, one is able in the present to perform correct contemplation and sever afflictions. Therefore, these three supernormal powers distinctively receive the name "clarity." As for the remaining three, the power of bodily transformation is merely craftsmanship; the divine ear merely hears sounds; knowing the minds of others merely takes other, disparate thoughts as its object. Therefore, the remaining three only obtain the name "supernormal power." This is as explained in the Mahāvibhāṣā (*Posha*). Under "the supernormal powers and clarities," one should ask: since these three obtain the name "supernormal powers" and also the name "clarities," how do the two meanings differ? Therefore it now explains: "The difference between supernormal power and clarity, etc." Regarding "directly and remotely knowing affairs," this refers to directly knowing the three time periods. Regarding "seeing the root," this refers to knowing the causes, conditions, actions, and karmas of the three time periods. This is also based on the Mahāvibhāṣā. Thus Jingxi says: because they come from karma, karma is the root. The Separate and Perfect take delusion regarding suchness as the root; hence it says they both penetrate the three time periods beyond the realms, and one should also further say the nine time periods. The three clarities may also take their name from the cause, taking inconceivable wisdom regarding temporal divisions as their essence. Regarding "the text below says," if evaluated by this intention, it resides exclusively in the Perfect and does not even extend to the Separate; by borrowing this to explain it broadly, it may also be understood.
