4.123

六、以三瑜伽師相攝，基云：一者、初習業有二種：一、於作意初習業者，安住一緣勤修作意，乃至未得所修作意未能觸證心一境性；二、淨煩惱初習業者，謂已證得所修作意，於諸煩惱欲淨其心正勤修習了相作意。二者、已習行瑜伽師者，謂中五作意已善修習。三者、度作意瑜伽師者，謂住第七作意超過加行方便所修住修果故，准此三瑜伽師。

Sixth, subsumption under the three kinds of yogic practitioners: Ji says: "First, the beginner has two kinds: 1. A beginner in mental application, who abides on a single focal object and diligently cultivates mental application, up until they have not yet attained the mental application being cultivated and are not yet able to realize one-pointedness of mind. 2. A beginner in purifying defilements, who has already realized the mental application being cultivated and, desiring to purify their mind regarding defilements, properly and diligently cultivates the mental application that apprehends characteristics. Second, the yogic practitioner who has already practiced, which refers to having well cultivated the middle five mental applications. Third, the yogic practitioner who has transcended mental application, which refers to abiding in the seventh mental application, transcending what was cultivated through preparatory application and expedients, and abiding in the fruition of cultivation." Such are the three kinds of yogic practitioners.
