9.138

二:初、問。「具五事」者,出《大論》。謂第二僧祇離五事,得五功德。得宿命,離喜忘;得諸根具足,離形殘;得生貴家,離下賤貧窮;得人天身,離三惡道;得男身,離女身。此中二舉所得、三舉所離,故成五事。

has two parts: first, the question. "Endowed with five things": this comes from the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa. It means that during the second asaṃkhyeya [kalpa], one abandons five things and attains five virtues: attaining knowledge of past lives and abandoning forgetfulness; attaining completeness of all sense faculties and abandoning physical deformity; attaining birth in a noble family and abandoning base poverty; attaining a human or heavenly body and abandoning the three evil paths; and attaining a male body and abandoning a female body. Here, two mention what is attained and three mention what is abandoned, thus constituting the five things.
