三中。以五為十緣，十為具緣，故必先五後十。《智論》云：因五戒生十戒，因十戒生具戒。《善戒經》云：先五，次十，三具，四菩薩。譬如重樓四級，不由初級至二級者，無有是處；乃至不由三級至四級者，無有是處等。如此明詰，豈得懷疑。

Under [point] three: Because the five are the condition for the ten, and the ten are the condition for the full ordination, one must first take the five and then the ten. The *Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra* says: 'Relying on the five precepts, the ten precepts arise; relying on the ten precepts, the full precepts arise.' The *Bhadrapāla-śikṣā-sūtra* says: 'First the five, next the ten, third the full, fourth the bodhisattva. Just as with a four-tiered pavilion, it is impossible to reach the second tier without going through the first tier; and so on, it is impossible to reach the fourth tier without going through the third tier, and so forth.' With such clear interrogation, how could one harbor doubt?
