述曰：此釋異名。位名加行道，近見道故，即是見道之加行故，舊言方便道，今言加行，顯與佛果善巧差別，因中行未圓足，所行必須加功求後勝果，果上萬行既滿，所行唯是方便利益有情。顯此二別，此名加行。然五道中，此獨名加行，以近見道故，非前資糧無加行義，顯前資糧亦名加行。《對法》八說所有資糧皆加行道，有加行道而非資糧，此四善根非資糧道，加功而行初位亦名加行，近見道說獨此得加行名。問：資益後果己身之糧，唯初獨名資糧，加功而行求果，四善獨名加行？答資糧遠望大果，最初獨名資糧，加行萬行加功故，初亦名加行。問：加功而行萬行，初位亦得此名，四善亦望大果資糧，亦通此四？答：初位發心最猛，四善不名資糧，萬行加力方行，初位亦名加行。問：初位心猛獨名資糧，四善近見獨名加行？答：以近見道名加行，初位不得此名，加功萬行方行，初位亦名加行。故於五道中，四善獨名加行者，近見道義，故彼初位不得此名。加功而行，初位亦名加行，此不齊解。若齊解者，此四善根果之資糧亦名資糧，而彼論文依多住外行福智行，約最初說。若爾，見道等亦應名資糧，果之資糧故。從增得名，但名見道，不可名資糧，故知從增得名，既名加行，不可名資糧。義准成故，前解為勝。二、釋位名訖。

The Commentary states: This explains the alternative name. The stage is called the path of intensified effort (prayoga-mārga) because it is close to the path of seeing, which means it is the intensified preparation for the path of seeing. In the past it was called the "path of expedient means" (upāya-mārga); now it is called "intensified effort" (prayoga) to show its distinction from the skillful means of the Buddha fruit: in the causal state, when practice is not yet complete, the practice carried out must apply effort to seek subsequent superior fruits; when the myriad practices are completed in the fruit, what is practiced is solely expedient means for benefiting sentient beings. To show this distinction, this is called prayoga. However, among the five paths, this one alone is called prayoga because of its proximity to the path of seeing, not because the preceding provision-path lacks the meaning of prayoga; this shows that the preceding provisions are also called prayoga. Fascicle eight of the Abhidharma-samuccaya-bhāṣya states that all provisions are paths of prayoga, but there are paths of prayoga that are not provisions: these four roots of goodness are not the path of provisions. While the initial stage is also called prayoga because it applies effort and acts, only this stage receives the name prayoga because it is close to the path of seeing. Question: The provisions that nourish one's own body for the subsequent fruit are uniquely called provisions only in the first stage; but in applying effort to act and seek the fruit, why are the four roots of goodness alone called prayoga? Answer: Looking distantly toward the great fruit, the initial stage alone is called provisions; since prayoga means applying effort to the myriad practices, the initial stage is also called prayoga. Question: In applying effort to practice the myriad practices, the initial stage also receives this name; the four roots of goodness also look toward the great fruit as provisions, so does this also apply to these four? Answer: In the initial stage the aspiration is most vehement, so the four roots of goodness are not called provisions; because the myriad practices require applied strength to be carried out, the initial stage is also called prayoga. Question: If the initial stage is uniquely called provisions due to its vehement mind, and the four roots of goodness are uniquely called prayoga due to their proximity to the path of seeing, [how should this be resolved]? Answer: Being called prayoga because of proximity to the path of seeing, the initial stage cannot receive this name; but because it applies effort so that the myriad practices can be performed, the initial stage is also called prayoga. Therefore, among the five paths, the four roots of goodness are uniquely called prayoga in the sense of proximity to the path of seeing, so that initial stage does not receive this name. But in terms of applying effort to act, the initial stage is also called prayoga; this is an asymmetric explanation. If explained symmetrically: these four roots of goodness, being provisions for the fruit, are also called provisions; yet that treatise speaks in terms of the initial stage based on predominantly dwelling outwardly in practices of merit and wisdom. If so, the path of seeing and so on should also be called provisions, because they are provisions for the fruit. Receiving their name from what is predominant, they are merely called the path of seeing and cannot be called provisions; thus we know that, receiving its name from what is predominant, since this is called prayoga, it cannot be called provisions. Since the implicit meaning holds, the former explanation is superior. The second section, explaining the name of the stage, is concluded.
