瑜伽論記 8.246

8.246

悕求大覺，悲愍有情，或求菩提，志願堅猛，長時修證，永出世間，大行大果故名菩薩，如是菩薩種姓發心修行得果，一切總說為菩薩地。於中有四瑜伽處，舊地持云方便處，今云瑜伽，正翻相應，義如前說。

Aspiring for great awakening, showing compassion toward sentient beings, or seeking bodhi with resolute and vigorous determination, cultivating and realizing over a long period of time, permanently transcending the world, possessing great practice and great fruit: therefore one is called a 'bodhisattva'. The gotra, generation of the aspiration, cultivation of practice, and attainment of the fruit of such a bodhisattva are all collectively referred to as the 'Bodhisattva Stage'. Within it there are four yogasthānas. The old Dichilun translates this as 'bases of means' (upāyasthāna), while the present [translation] says 'yoga', which is properly translated as 'conjunction', the meaning of which is as explained before.
