第五解保命，於二處所者，一、自保命忽然夭喪，二、不善心殞往諸惡趣。云何名為如理作意為所依止？復於何等二種雜染，應脫其心？則二問也。答初明如理作意，如文可解；答二雜染，若經行時等一也，遠離住時等二也。當知此中至相似果者，第二雜染從第一染起，故云因果；然非正因果，故云相似。

Fifth, explaining preserving life: 'in two places': (1) personally preserving life when suddenly dying young; (2) perishing with an unwholesome mind and going to the miserable destinies. 'What is called having proper mental attention as one's basis? Furthermore, from what two kinds of defilement should one release one's mind?' These are the two questions. In answering the first, it clarifies proper mental attention, which can be understood from the text; in answering the two defilements, 'when walking back and forth,' and so forth, is the first; 'when abiding in seclusion,' and so forth, is the second. In the statement 'One should know herein [...] up to [...] similar fruits': because the second defilement arises from the first defilement, it is called cause and fruit; however, because it is not a direct cause and fruit, it is called 'similar'.
