釋曰：順福分善者，謂感世間可愛果善。順解脫分者，謂定能感涅槃果善。所造功德迴求涅槃者是也。此善生已，名為身中有涅槃法。若人聞說生死有過，涅槃有德，毛竪悲泣，當知此人已殖順解脫分善也。如見得雨，場有芽生，當知穴中先有種子。

Explanation: Wholesomeness conducive to merit refers to wholesomeness that induces agreeable worldly fruits. Wholesomeness conducive to liberation refers to wholesomeness that definitely can induce the fruit of nirvāṇa; this is meritorious deeds performed that are dedicated to seeking nirvāṇa. When this wholesomeness has arisen, it is said that there is the quality of nirvāṇa within one's person. If a person hears it spoken that saṃsāra has faults and nirvāṇa has virtues, and their hair stands on end and they weep, one should know that this person has already planted the wholesomeness conducive to liberation. It is like seeing that when rain is obtained, sprouts arise in the threshing-floor, from which one should know that seeds were previously present in the hollows.
