二、「嬰兒」下,別釋病兒,二:初、標示所起。示同小善名為嬰兒,示同有惡名為病行。同善為與其樂,同惡為拔其苦,故此二用由於慈悲。故向荊溪云用又指因也。是故或以聖為自行因、天為自行果,梵行為因中化他、病兒為果上化他,故因於慈悲而有二行。梵通因果,向已略明。

Second, from "infant" downward, distinctly explaining the illness and infant [practices], which has two parts: first, indicating what they arise from. Manifesting identity with minor good is called "infant"; manifesting identity with having evil is called "illness practice." Identifying with good is to bestow joy; identifying with evil is to eradicate suffering. Hence these two functions derive from loving-kindness and compassion. Therefore, previously Jingxi said that function again points back to cause. For this reason, sometimes noble practice is taken as the cause of self-benefit and heavenly practice as the effect of self-benefit, while pure practice is converting others in the cause and infant and illness practices are converting others in the effect; thus, relying on loving-kindness and compassion, there are the two practices. That pure practice applies to both cause and effect has already been briefly clarified above.
