瑜伽師地論略纂 16.35

16.35

下「出離界」，謂三人各修一行相，如下三文字時，人法合說，故有六也。此出離界即是涅槃，即六隨順涅槃法，名為六修。　又解：三人行六行，六行為六出離，謂初人修四行，餘二各一行。謂於怨行修慈，於惡行起悲，於淨行起喜，於恩行起捨，皆名「眾生緣定」，此則為四也，總合為一，眾生緣定同故。第二、「法緣定」者，是解脫分善根人。第三、「修諦觀」者，是決擇分善根人。以法為順涅槃果，故有六也。雖舉三人，以法三行故；緣境有六，別故有六順法。

Below, "the realms of renunciation" refers to three persons each cultivating one aspect of practice; as when the three texts below combine persons and dharmas in their exposition, there are therefore six. This realm of renunciation is precisely nirvāṇa; the six dharmas conforming to nirvāṇa are called the six cultivations. Another explanation: three persons practice six practices, and the six practices constitute the six renunciations. That is, the first person cultivates four practices, and the remaining two cultivate one practice each. Namely, cultivating loving-kindness toward hostile conduct, giving rise to compassion toward evil conduct, giving rise to sympathetic joy toward pure conduct, and giving rise to equanimity toward beneficent conduct—these are all called "concentration with sentient beings as focal object," which makes four, combined into one because they share the same focal object of sentient beings. The second, "concentration with dharmas as focal object," belongs to persons possessing the roots of good conducive to liberation. The third, "cultivating contemplation of the truths," belongs to persons possessing the roots of good conducive to decisive penetration (nirvedhabhāgīya). Because dharmas conform to the fruit of nirvāṇa, there are six. Although three persons are cited, because dharmas have three practices and the objective spheres taken as focal objects have six distinctions, there are six conforming dharmas.
