8.368

如是功德相應者，與種姓相相應也，成就賢善諸白淨法者，總結姓相名白淨法，三藏解云：由諸菩薩所有種姓與如是功德相應者，總是種姓體也，種姓之中有過恒沙功德種子，性類集聚故言相應。言成就賢善諸白淨法者，種姓相也。唯次下文順三藏解，有人復言：所有種姓雖舉種姓而未取之，性與如是功德相應種性相也。成就賢善諸白淨法者，諸種姓體也。是故能與等者，結成持業，結二種姓為佛果因，因是持義。舊地持師云：此文嘆其種姓最勝不可思議等者，不然，今舉種姓所生佛果名最勝等。泰云：微細種姓，與麁六度相因極故能與難得等五命果為證得因，應正道理。若說菩薩種與餘二乘果為證因，不應正理。

'Endowed with such virtues' means being associated with the characteristics of the gotra. 'Achieving all wholesome, pure dharmas' summarizes the gotra and its characteristics under the name 'pure dharmas'. The Tripiṭaka Master explains: 'Because of all the gotras possessed by bodhisattvas being endowed with such virtues'—this taken together is the substance of the gotra; within the gotra there are seeds of virtues exceeding the sands of the Ganges, which gather by their innate kind, hence it is said to be 'associated'. The phrase 'achieving all wholesome, pure dharmas' refers to the characteristics of the gotra. Only the passage immediately below accords with the Tripiṭaka Master's explanation. Someone else states: Although 'all the gotras possessed' mentions gotra, it does not yet take it as substance; the nature being associated with such virtues is the characteristic of the gotra, while 'achieving all wholesome, pure dharmas' is the substance of the gotras. 'Therefore, it is able to grant...', and so forth, forms a karmadhāraya compound, concluding that the two kinds of gotras are the causes of the fruit of buddhahood; 'cause' has the meaning of 'holding'. The old masters of the Dichilun say: 'This passage praises the gotra as supreme, inconceivable, and so forth'—this is not so; it now refers to the fruit of buddhahood produced by the gotra as 'supreme', and so on. Tai says: The subtle gotra, because of its ultimate causal connection with the coarse six perfections, can serve as the causal basis for realizing the five [fruits of] life, such as being difficult to attain, which conforms to correct reasoning. If one were to say that the bodhisattva seed serves as the cause of realization for the fruits of the other two vehicles, that would not conform to correct reasoning.
