菩薩以煩惱助願受生中,唯以現行勢力遠資,非如潤生愛等,如行殺生、貪、瞋等惑,方能利樂,未得無漏勝道利生。故以貪、瞋引無漏道,方始能利名為助願,非如貪等潤生用之。由此應為四句分別,有唯現潤非種,謂七地前菩薩;有唯種潤非現,謂第三果;有俱潤,謂一切異生;有俱非潤,謂變易及化身等。
Regarding the bodhisattva's taking rebirth by using afflictions to assist the vows: this is solely through the force of active manifestations assisting from afar, unlike the craving and so forth that moistens rebirth. It is like practicing the taking of life, greed, hatred, and other afflictions, only through which one can benefit and bring joy, not yet having attained the superior anāsrava path to benefit sentient beings. Therefore, using greed and hatred to introduce the anāsrava path so that one can at last bring benefit is termed 'assisting the vows'; it is not utilized in the manner of greed and so forth moistening rebirth. Accordingly, one should distinguish four alternatives: there is moistening solely by active manifestations and not by seeds, namely bodhisattvas prior to the seventh ground; there is moistening solely by seeds and not by active manifestations, namely the third fruition; there is moistening by both, namely all ordinary persons; and there is moistening by neither, namely [those in] transformed [rebirth] and apparition bodies, and so forth.
