17.402

基云：謂三人各修一行相，人法合說故有六，義同前釋。又解：三人行六行六行為出離，謂初人修四行餘二各修一行，謂於怨行修慈，於惡行起悲，於淨行起喜，於恩行起捨，皆名眾生緣定，此即為四也。總合為一，眾生緣定同故；第二、法緣定者是解脫分善根人；第三、修諦觀者是決擇分善根人，以法為順涅槃界，故有六也。雖舉三人以法三行故緣境有六，別故有六順法。

Ji says: It means that three persons each cultivate one aspect of practice; because persons and phenomena are explained together, there are six, the meaning being the same as the previous explanation. Another explanation is: Three persons practice six practices, and the six practices constitute deliverance. That is, the first person cultivates four practices, and the other two each cultivate one practice: cultivating benevolence toward hostile actions, generating compassion toward evil actions, generating sympathetic joy toward pure actions, and generating equanimity toward actions of gratitude—these are all called concentration focused on sentient beings, which amounts to four, but are collectively combined into one because their focus on sentient beings is identical. Second, the one with concentration focused on phenomena is a person with the roots of goodness conducive to liberation. Third, the one who cultivates the contemplation of the truths is a person with the roots of goodness conducive to penetration; because they take phenomena as conducive to the realm of nirvāṇa, there are six. Although three persons are cited, because the phenomena comprise three practices, the focal objects are six; because they are distinct, there are six conducive phenomena.
