8.268

護法菩薩義勢同之。勝軍論師義中少別，別別者何，謂種姓持即無始來有所知障性可斷邊義說為種姓，即義可斷處有無漏種也，發心持取十信時有漏聞思慧等，菩提分法義同於前，又有別異說，種姓持即法爾種謂十信前，二發心持即十信已去，三菩提分法持即十解已去，又說，種姓持謂十信心，二發菩提心持謂十解位，菩提分法持謂十行位，雖有此釋，未有逗留，典詰不馮，如何依據，又種姓持謂法爾種姓，發心持十信前十力萬劫初發心亦得，取初地真發菩提心亦得，此中若總科判初瑜伽，又初十七品正解菩薩地相，末後一品舉受持功德勸人修學，不爾，直判初瑜伽中有其三持，解此三持。

Bodhisattva Dharmapāla's doctrinal purport is the same. In Master Jayasena's view there is a slight difference. What is this difference? It means that the support of gotra refers to the beginningless nature of the cognitive obscuration being that which can be severed, and in this sense is called gotra—that is, in the locus where it can be severed there exist taintless seeds; the support of generating the aspiration takes the tainted wisdom of hearing, thinking, and so on at the time of the ten faiths; and the dharmas conducive to awakening are the same in meaning as before. Furthermore, there is another different explanation: the support of gotra is the innate seed, namely before the ten faiths; second, the support of generating the aspiration is from the ten faiths onward; third, the support of dharmas conducive to awakening is from the ten understandings onward. It is also said: the support of gotra means the mind of the ten faiths; second, the support of generating the bodhicitta means the station of the ten understandings; and the support of dharmas conducive to awakening means the station of the ten practices. Although there are these interpretations, they are inconclusive, lacking textual basis and verification; how could they be relied upon? Furthermore, the support of gotra refers to the innate gotra; for the support of generating the aspiration, it is acceptable to take the initial aspiration before the ten faiths during the myriad kalpas of the ten powers, and it is also acceptable to take the true generation of the bodhicitta on the first bhūmi. Here, if one makes a general structural division of the First Yoga, then the first seventeen chapters directly explain the characteristics of the Bodhisattvabhūmi, while the final chapter brings forward the benefits of accepting and upholding to encourage people to practice and study; if not, one simply judges that within the First Yoga there are these three supports, and explains these three supports.
