答：約通相三乘同起，若約別相并是聲聞觀，聲聞觀中鈍根之人起四十四智觀果由因，觀易成故，利根之人起七十七智觀因生果，觀難成故。又七十七智七處善中第二集善及三義觀攝，四十四智通四處善，無法住故非三義觀，此二智門雖通後智，而正當是加行觀法，為初生道之方便故。

Answer: In terms of their general character, they are aroused in common by the three vehicles. If considered in terms of their distinct character, both are śrāvaka contemplations. Among the śrāvaka contemplations, persons of dull faculties arouse the forty-four knowledges to contemplate fruitions through causes, because this contemplation is easy to accomplish; persons of sharp faculties arouse the seventy-seven knowledges to contemplate causes producing fruitions, because this contemplation is difficult to accomplish. Furthermore, the seventy-seven knowledges are subsumed under the second, skill in origination, and the contemplation of the three meanings among the seven skills. The forty-four knowledges extend across four skills, but lacking the knowledge of the stability of dharmas, they are not the contemplation of the three meanings. Although these two gates of knowledge extend to subsequent knowledge, they properly constitute the contemplation methods of preparatory application, serving as the expedients for the newly arisen path.
