又云：始從勝解行地乃至到究竟地，於此一切菩薩地中。若其十信非在習種，即勝解行等攝行不盡，非未發心非性種姓，不在十住非勝解行。若云雖非十住勝解行攝者，既許行攝，何非習種？又善法欲已去得名為學，有為善法名為學法，何非習種性？據起現行發菩提心行熏成種已，即名習種。不爾，二乘迴心向大，經八萬劫乃至十千是何菩薩？不可得云是性種姓。何以故？所修諸善非不思擇，於大菩提非不趣求。雖未得入資糧勝位，可名習種。或創發心及二乘迴向八萬劫等，非勝解行，行未勝故，未在僧祇故。雖然不得在僧祇數，及資糧等可名習種。無文定判，十住已前不得名為習種菩薩。

> It also says: "Beginning from the stage of adhimukti-caryā-bhūmi up to the stage of completion (niṣṭhā-bhūmi), among all these bodhisattva stages..." If the ten faiths are not in the stage of practicing lineage (śukla-vidarśanā-bhūmi / abhyāsa-gotra), then the practices subsumed by adhimukti-caryā and so forth would be incomplete; \[these practitioners\] would be neither those who have not aroused the mind nor of the nature lineage (prakṛti-gotra), and not being in the ten abodes they would not belong to adhimukti-caryā. If one says that although they are not in the ten abodes they are subsumed under adhimukti-caryā, then since it is conceded that they are subsumed under its practice, why are they not of the practicing lineage? Furthermore, from the desire for wholesome dharmas onward, one receives the name of "a learner" (śaikṣa), and conditioned wholesome dharmas are termed "dharmas of learning"; why would they not be of the practicing lineage? Based on having arisen actual manifestation (samudācāra) and generated the bodhicitta, and having perfumed their practice into seeds (bīja), they are named the practicing lineage. If it were not so, then when practitioners of the two vehicles turn their minds toward the Mahāyāna, after passing eighty thousand aeons down to ten thousand, what kind of bodhisattvas would they be? It cannot be said that they belong to the nature lineage. Why is that? Because the various wholesome \[actions\] they cultivate are not without discursive consideration, and they are not without striving toward great bodhi. Although they have not yet managed to enter the superior stage of provisions (saṃbhāra), they can be named the practicing lineage. Alternatively, those who have newly generated the mind, as well as those of the two vehicles who turn toward \[the Mahāyāna\] through eighty thousand aeons and the like, do not belong to adhimukti-caryā because their practice is not yet superior and they are not yet counted within an asaṃkhyeya. Although they cannot be numbered within an asaṃkhyeya or within the stage of provisions, they can be named the practicing lineage. There is no text that definitively determines that those prior to the ten abodes cannot be called bodhisattvas of the practicing lineage.
