Second, from "Now the Great" downward, showing the categorization as identical to the Hīnayāna, in two parts: first, indicating the intent through analogy; second, from "The word appearance" downward, directly clarifying the categorization as identical, in two parts: first, categorization as identical to the six teachers, in two parts: first, clarifying that non-Buddhists resemble the Hīnayāna. Regarding "Destroying the cause but not the fruit": the absence of a creator is destroying the cause; everything being spontaneous is the fruit. Regarding "As calculated by Zhuang Zhou": this takes this land as an analogy. Zhuangzi was a man of Meng named Zhou, a fellow student of King Hui of Liang. He composed a book of more than one hundred thousand words, all of which are allegories. Today, this former Mengcheng in Songzhou is that place; there currently exists Qiyuan township, where he wrote his works, hence he is sometimes called Meng Zhuang, having once served as an official of Qiyuan. Regarding "Sañjaya up to not yet clear": he calculated that one spontaneously attains the path when the time is ripe, which is either a heterodox cause and condition or causeless; not daring to make a definite judgment, it therefore says "not yet clear." "Kātyāyana" is the fifth person mentioned earlier. As for "the remaining two": these are the fourth, Kambala, and the sixth, Nirgrantha. Stating that one ought to receive painful retribution, and saying that all is determined by karma, both belong to the gate of existence.
