論「以彼處行無差別故」，答也。就中有二：一以行無差別、二無色界應有中般。此是初也。其火星喻，滅處不同，行有近遠，由斯分其中般有三種別。如說至色界，或想或尋，及初取同分受天法樂等，雖說時別前後分三，滅處行時與火星喻不相扶會，由斯所說皆不相應。

[On the] Śāstra's [words], "Because there is no difference in their movement at that stage": this is the reply. Within this, there are two points: first, because there is no difference in movement; second, that the formless realm would also have intermediate parinirvāṇa. This is the first. In the spark simile, because the places of extinguishing are different and the movements are near or far, intermediate parinirvāṇa is differentiated thereby into three distinct kinds. As for what [the other school] said—reaching the form realm and having perception or having investigation, and initially attaining the realm-counterpart to experience heavenly dharmic bliss, etc.—even though they state temporal distinctions by dividing it into three chronologically, the place of extinguishing and the time of movement do not correspond to the spark simile. Therefore, everything they have stated is inappropriate.
