梵行求五等者,景云:一、唯求求,即唯起求涅槃心不修梵行;二、趣得求者,趣向涅槃麁修梵行;三、現得求,求現涅槃而修梵行;四、後得求,求當涅槃修於梵行;五、思擇求,種種思擇而修梵行,此通邪正。復有差別者,差別義從梵行求。謂假名求者,外道。第一義求者,佛法弟子。無方便求者,擇假名求。有方便求者,釋第一義求。

Regarding 'the quest for the holy life has five, etc.', Jing says: First, 'quest consisting merely in seeking'—that is, merely giving rise to the aspiration to seek nirvāṇa without practicing the holy life. Second, 'quest oriented toward attainment'—orienting toward nirvāṇa and crudely practicing the holy life. Third, 'quest for present attainment'—seeking present nirvāṇa and practicing the holy life. Fourth, 'quest for future attainment'—seeking future nirvāṇa and practicing the holy life. Fifth, 'quest through deliberation'—practicing the holy life through various deliberations; this applies to both the heterodox and the orthodox. Regarding 'there is also a differentiation', the meaning of differentiation derives from the quest for the holy life: 'nominal quest' refers to non-Buddhists; 'quest in the ultimate sense' refers to disciples of the Buddha's Dharma; 'quest without means' explains the nominal quest; 'quest endowed with means' explains the quest in the ultimate sense.
