論解正思中云「菩薩由是八種相故，能正修行」等者，云何名八種相？謂初問云何菩薩於法正思法下，乃至次此文上，有二：初、正解八種；第二、處成八相。謂從問下至「先當遠離不思議處，思惟彼法」是第一相，謂下至「而無慢緩」是第二，次下至「以理觀察，而隨悟入」第三，次下「於其少分實深信解」四，次下至「但依其義，不依其文」五，「如實了知黑說、大說」六，「正能悟入最初思惟」七，「既得悟入，數數作意，令得堅固」八，八種相也。　「是諸菩薩由能遠離」下，有八由字，復成前八義，數之可知。

Regarding the treatise's explanation of correct contemplation, saying, "a bodhisattva, by means of these eight characteristics, can correctly cultivate practice," and so forth: what are called the eight characteristics? That is, from below the initial question, "How does a bodhisattva correctly contemplate the Dharma?" up to immediately above this text, there are two parts: first, correctly explaining the eight kinds; second, establishing the eight characteristics. From below the question down to "first one should stay far away from inconceivable matters and contemplate that Dharma" is the first characteristic; down to "without laxity" is the second; next, down to "observing with reasoning and subsequently penetrating" is the third; next, "deeply and truly having faith and understanding in even a small part of it" is the fourth; next, down to "relying only on its meaning and not relying on its phrasing" is the fifth; "knowing according to reality dark speech and great speech" is the sixth; "correctly being able to penetrate initial reflection" is the seventh; "having attained penetration, repeatedly cultivating mental engagement to make it firm" is the eighth—these are the eight characteristics. / Below "these bodhisattvas, due to being able to stay far away," there are eight occurrences of the word "due to," which further establish the previous eight meanings, as can be known by counting them.
