2.131

次引證中，初引本律，通證餘三義；後引《善見》，別證初義；又律序偈，明越度生死；戒本偈，明能至佛道。準律序偈，先舉喻云：如人欲度河，用手及浮囊；雖深無沒憂，便能到彼岸。鈔引合法，對喻可知。戒本偈中。初句召行人，次句明本志，第三示行法；正法，即指戒也；下句除惑倒。

In the subsequent citation of evidence, it first cites our own vinaya to generally verify the remaining three meanings; later it cites the *Samantapāsādikā* to specifically verify the first meaning; furthermore, the verses in the preface to the vinaya clarify crossing over birth and death; the verses of the Prātimokṣa clarify being able to reach the Buddha path. Based on the verses in the preface to the vinaya, it first raises a metaphor, saying: just as a person wishing to cross a river uses hands and a float; though it is deep, there is no fear of sinking, and they can directly reach the other shore. The application of the metaphor cited in the manual can be known by matching it to the metaphor. In the verses of the Prātimokṣa: the first phrase calls upon practitioners, the second phrase clarifies their original aspiration, and the third shows the practice of the Dharma; the "true Dharma" refers specifically to the precepts; the lower phrase eradicates delusions and inversions.
