二、不解十受欲者,指如經故,按中阿含第三十六卷行欲經云:給孤獨問,世中為有幾人行欲,世尊對曰,凡有十人行欲,廣說如經,然經文煩廣故今約義以副十種,十種雖異而略有三,一非法無道求物欲,二法非法求物欲,三如法以道求物欲,詳夫行欲之來略有四種,一求財物自養安穩,二養父母妻子奴婢作使,三供養沙門梵志令昇上與樂俱而受樂報生天壽長,四得財物已不染不著見患而用,然則將此四種辨彼三求不同以障十人,初三者何,一非法無道求,都無四事,二非法無道求,有初二事無後二事,三非法無道求,有初三事無後一事,次之三者,一法非法求,都無四事,二法非法求,有初二事無後二事,三法非法求,有前三事無後一事,後之四者,一如法以道求,都無四事,二如法以道求,有前二事無後二事,三如法以道求,有前三事無後一事,四如法以道求,備有四事,以此而言之,三種二四種一故成十種,此中若非法無道求等都無四事為最下也,若法非法求有前三事為最上也,若如法以道求具有四事為最妙也。

Second, the ten enjoyers of desires are not explained because they are indicated as being like the sūtra. According to the Sūtra on Indulging in Desires in fascicle 36 of the Madhyama Āgama, Anāthapiṇḍada asked: "How many kinds of people indulging in desires are there in the world?" The World-Honoured One replied: "There are altogether ten kinds of people indulging in desires; it is explained at length as in the sūtra." However, since the text of the sūtra is lengthy and broad, here its meaning is summarized to correspond to the ten kinds. Although the ten kinds differ, they are briefly of three types: first, seeking material desires unlawfully and without principle; second, seeking material desires both lawfully and unlawfully; third, seeking material desires in accordance with Dharma and with principle. Examining the pursuit of desires in detail, there are briefly four kinds: first, seeking wealth to sustain oneself in security; second, supporting parents, wife, children, slaves, and servants; third, making offerings to śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas, causing them to ascend to higher realms and be associated with bliss, thereby reaping blissful retribution and being reborn in the heavens with long life; fourth, having obtained wealth, using it without taint or attachment, seeing its perils. Thus, by using these four kinds to distinguish the differences among the three modes of seeking, ten kinds of people are differentiated. What are the first three? First, seeking unlawfully and without principle, possessing none of the four matters; second, seeking unlawfully and without principle, possessing the first two matters but lacking the latter two matters; third, seeking unlawfully and without principle, possessing the first three matters but lacking the last one matter. The next three are: first, seeking both lawfully and unlawfully, possessing none of the four matters; second, seeking both lawfully and unlawfully, possessing the first two matters but lacking the latter two matters; third, seeking both lawfully and unlawfully, possessing the first three matters but lacking the last one matter. The final four are: first, seeking in accordance with Dharma and with principle, possessing none of the four matters; second, seeking in accordance with Dharma and with principle, possessing the first two matters but lacking the latter two matters; third, seeking in accordance with Dharma and with principle, possessing the first three matters but lacking the last one matter; fourth, seeking in accordance with Dharma and with principle, fully possessing all four matters. Speaking on this basis, three types [taken in sets of] three and one set of four make up the ten kinds. Among these, seeking unlawfully and without principle while having none of the four matters is the lowest; seeking both lawfully and unlawfully while having the first three matters is the highest [of that group]; and seeking in accordance with Dharma and with principle while fully possessing all four matters is the most wonderful.
