瑜伽師地論略纂 8.2

8.2

「聲聞地第十三初瑜伽處種姓地第一」者，十七地中，聲聞地第十三，此即簡前生後。初瑜伽處等，簡餘二乘，三乘皆有初瑜伽處故。瑜伽有四不同，此為最先，故言初。瑜伽是觀行，種姓是觀行種子，種子能為現行觀行作所依處，故言初瑜伽處種姓地。此初瑜伽中有四地，故次頌文云姓等是一，世間出世間。種姓地名先。姓等者，姓中有四種，謂自性、安立、諸相、數取趣。此種姓有四種不同，故言姓等。

As for "Śrāvakabhūmi, the thirteenth: The first yogasthāna, the Gotrabhūmi, the first": among the seventeen bhūmis, the Śrāvakabhūmi is the thirteenth, which distinguishes what came before and introduces what follows. "The first yogasthāna" and so forth distinguishes [it from] the other two vehicles, because all three vehicles have a first yogasthāna. Yoga has four differences, and this is the very first, hence it says "first". Yoga is contemplative practice; gotra is the seed of contemplative practice; and the seed can serve as the support for active contemplative practice, hence it says "First Yogasthāna, Gotrabhūmi". In this first yoga there are four bhūmis, therefore the subsequent verse says: "Gotra and so forth are one, worldly and transworldly." The name of the Gotrabhūmi comes first. As for "gotra and so forth": within gotra there are four kinds, namely: intrinsic nature, establishment, characteristics, and pudgala. Because this gotra has four differences, it says "gotra and so forth".
