瑜伽師地論略纂 12.179

12.179

論云「唯除凡地菩薩受生，此取有智菩薩為五生」者，二說：一云此取第二住也，十住以來菩薩未入僧祇，不名有智故；二說唯取初地已去名有智。義意初解為勝，以十住菩薩八相成道故。又增上生唯言初地，故知簡餘生，通餘住。此有智取前解勝。

The treatise states: "Excepting only the births received by bodhisattvas on ordinary stages, here the bodhisattvas who possess wisdom are taken for the five births." There are two explanations: One says that this takes the second abiding, because from the ten abidings onwards bodhisattvas have not yet entered the [first] asaṃkhyeya, so they are not yet called "possessing wisdom"; the second explanation says that only from the first bhūmi onwards are they called "possessing wisdom." In terms of doctrinal meaning, the first explanation is superior, because bodhisattvas of the ten abidings attain enlightenment through the eight aspects. Furthermore, sovereign birth is only spoken of as the first bhūmi; hence we know that it excludes other births and is common to other abidings. For "possessing wisdom," taking the former explanation is superior.
