8.3

The treatise says: "This bhūmi briefly has three: namely gotra, entering, and the bhūmi of the notion of renunciation; this bhūmi is collectively these three." As for the word "notion" (saṃjñā): because a notion can give rise to verbal discourse, and verbal discourse is a name, it is named after its cause, hence it says "notion". The meaning here is: this bhūmi briefly has three kinds: the first is named gotra, the second is named entering, and the third is named renunciation. Now, conforming to the verse-composition rules, the character "notion" is placed below. Furthermore, notion is simply name. Having listed the names of the three bhūmis above, below it concludes by saying: these are named the three bhūmis.
