瑜伽師地論略纂 5.51

5.51

此地五門廣分別中，上已三段解四門訖。下第四段釋諸經宗要，最後眾雜義，文分為二：初釋宗要，即解前說想標四門靜慮、解脫、等持、等至中後三種，由四靜慮前已解故；後第十三卷方釋雜義。雖此二段俱是釋經，諸門雜義各有別故，分成二種。初中分二：初標下說、後隨別釋。別釋中有三：一、解解脫；二、解等持，三三摩地已上是；三、解等至，五現見三摩鉢底已下是。初門有四：初、釋解脫；次、釋勝處；三、釋遍處；後、總聊簡。雖勝、遍處准前標，說在等至門，今依修生次第，故次解脫而便明之。前以隨他雜起引生，或隨勝義故，離解脫入等至門，解脫除障最為勝用，故別門標。今以初修次第必爾，故便明之，不相違也。

In the extensive differentiation of the five gates of this bhūmi, the three sections above have already completed the explanation of the four gates. Below, the fourth section interprets the essential principles of the sūtras, and the final section contains various miscellaneous meanings; the text is divided into two: First, interpreting the essential principles, which explains the latter three of the four gates previously designated by conception—dhyāna, liberation, samādhi, and samāpatti—because the four dhyānas have already been explained above; only later, in the thirteenth fascicle, will the miscellaneous meanings be explained. Although both sections are explanations of sūtras, because the miscellaneous meanings of the various gates are each distinct, they are divided into two kinds. The first section contains two parts: first an overview of what is stated below, and then individual explanations. In the individual explanations there are three parts: 1. explaining liberations; 2. explaining samādhis, from the three samādhis onward; 3. explaining samāpattis, from the five directly perceived samāpattis downward. The first gate has four parts: first, explaining the liberations; second, explaining the bases of mastery; third, explaining the bases of totality; fourth, a general analysis. Although according to the preceding headings the bases of mastery and totality are said to belong to the gate of samāpatti, they are now explained immediately following the liberations in accordance with the sequence of cultivation and arising. Previously, because they are induced through mixed arising following others, or following an ultimate sense, they were separated from liberation and subsumed under the gate of samāpatti; liberation has the most superior function in eliminating obstacles, and so was designated as a distinct gate. Now, because the sequence of initial cultivation is necessarily like this, they are explained here, which is not contradictory.
