二、觀解。言觀行位者,既對分真,即五品十信俱名觀行。以未證真,似受觀名。內外凡位,無明眠法全未破故,故觀三身如夢所見。真位分破,於理明了,故觀三身猶如已旦。出王舍等者,變易五陰因位未離,如居王舍。今出此舍,表至於果。既論觀法,有入分真及極果分,故預表之。

Second, contemplative interpretation. As for the "stage of contemplative practice": since it is contrasted with partial truth, the five grades and ten faiths are all named contemplative practice. Because they have not yet realized truth, they are named "contemplation" in an approximate sense. In the stages of inner and outer ordinary beings, because the sleep-state of ignorance has not been broken at all, they contemplate the three bodies as if seen in a dream. In the stage of truth, it is partially broken and one is clear about the principle; therefore one contemplates the three bodies as if it were already dawn. In "leaving Rājagṛha" and so forth: because the causal stage has not yet separated from the five aggregates of transformation, it is like dwelling in Rājagṛha. Now, leaving this house signifies reaching the fruition. Since the method of contemplation is discussed, there is an entry into partial truth and a portion of the ultimate fruition; therefore it prefigures them.
