懸舉中，初二句明廣遍。要下，舉要略示，初總舉。任下，別示。初明六大，通情非情；次約六塵，即非情也；下約六趣等，即有情也。言中陰者，《業疏》問云：六趣生外，更有發否？答：如來非趣攝，中陰亦復爾；《心論》云：四生收諸趣，中陰非趣攝；以趣是到義，中陰但傳識故。

In the preliminary presentation, the first two lines explain its vast pervasiveness. From 'To state the essential' downward, he gives the essentials in brief; first he presents them generally. From 'According to' downward, he distinguishes them individually. First he explains the six great elements, which encompass both sentient and non-sentient; next he treats the six sensory objects, which are non-sentient; below he treats the six destinies and so forth, which are sentient. Regarding the 'intermediate existence', the Karma Commentary asks: 'Outside of birth in the six destinies, is there still any arising [of precepts]?' It answers: 'The Tathāgata is not subsumed within the destinies, and the intermediate existence is likewise so. The Heart Commentary states: "The four kinds of birth encompass all destinies; the intermediate existence is not subsumed within the destinies; because a destiny has the meaning of arrival, whereas the intermediate existence merely transmits consciousness."'
