Second, briefly explaining the meaning of "bodhisattva," in two [parts]: first, the name and meaning point to the above. Second, correctly explaining with respect to the teachings, in two: first, comprehensively explaining with respect to the teachings, in two: first, directly clarifying the active characteristics. Jingxi says: That the four kinds of bodhisattvas are all called "[avaivartika-]bhavati" first raises the generating of the [bodhi-]mind and next entering the [avaivartika-]bhavati; this completely raises the beginning and the end. Furthermore, those who are reproached are all in the stage of non-retrogression; entering a later non-retrogression from a prior non-retrogression, this is spoken in mutual comparison among the three kinds of non-retrogression. Because among the four bodhisattvas [Vimalakīrti] first reproaches the practice of diligent non-retrogression, he therefore designates in advance the word "non-retrogression."
