8.326

基云：十信已前成就菩薩姓，尚過二乘有學無學，何況其餘一切異生，何者？一切有情皆有二障，然無始來七方便前成二乘種，煩惱障有可斷故，唯當能證煩惱障淨，所知障竟不可斷故，不得當證所知障淨，然煩惱障有重有輕，根有利鈍故，二乘有異，若成菩薩種，無始已來十信已前，二障必定當可斷故，望彼四種，是無上勝，即與擇分真如境中有障無障故立五種姓，義無差別，如彼當解。

Ji states: Prior to the ten faiths, accomplishing the bodhisattva gotra already surpasses the learners and non-learners of the two vehicles, not to mention all other ordinary beings. Why? All sentient beings possess the two obscurations. However, when from beginningless time prior to the seven skillful means one accomplishes the gotra of the two vehicles, because the affliction obscuration can be severed, they will only be able to realize purification from the affliction obscuration; because the cognitive obscuration can never be severed, they will not realize purification from the cognitive obscuration. However, afflictions have heaviness and lightness, and faculties have sharpness and dullness; hence the two vehicles differ. If one accomplishes the bodhisattva gotra, from beginningless time prior to the ten faiths, because the two obscurations will definitely be severable, when viewed in relation to those four kinds [of practitioners], it is unsurpassably supreme. This is without distinction in meaning from establishing the five gotras based on the presence or absence of obscurations with respect to the realm of tathatā in the Viniścayasaṃgrahaṇī, as will be explained there.
