按彼論云:如是三身有四分故,得為四句:「一、受用非變化,謂自利分實受用身。二、變化非受用,謂變化身,為化地前雜類生故。或麁、或妙、或令歡喜、或令怖畏,改轉不定,但名變化。不是受用不必令受現法樂故。三、亦受用亦變化,謂為地上菩薩所現種種化身,令諸菩薩受法樂故,隨時改轉不決定故。」又云:「或處說佛有二種身:一者、生身;二者、法身。若自性身、若實受用,俱名法身,諸功德法所依止故,諸功德法所集成故。若變化身、若他受用,俱名生身,隨眾所宜數現生故。」又云:又餘經說有十種佛:一、現等覺佛;二、弘誓願佛;三、業異熟佛;四、住持佛;五、變化佛;六、法界佛;七、心佛;八、定佛;九、本性佛;十、隨樂佛。前五世俗佛,後五勝義佛,隨其所應,三身所攝。

Examining that treatise, it states: Since these three bodies have four divisions, they form four alternatives: "1. Saṃbhogakāya and not nirmāṇakāya: that is, the real saṃbhogakāya of the aspect of self-benefit. 2. Nirmāṇakāya and not saṃbhogakāya: that is, the nirmāṇakāya, for the sake of converting various classes of beings prior to the bhūmis. It may be coarse or subtle, cause joy or cause fear, transforming unfixedly; thus it is solely termed nirmāṇa. It is not saṃbhoga, because it does not necessarily cause them to experience the joy of the Dharma in the present. 3. Both saṃbhogakāya and nirmāṇakāya: that is, the various transformation-bodies manifested for bodhisattvas on the bhūmis, causing all bodhisattvas to experience the joy of the Dharma, transforming according to the occasion without determination." It also states: "In some places it is said that the Buddha has two kinds of bodies: first, the janmakāya; second, the dharmakāya. Both the svabhāvakāya and the real saṃbhoga are termed dharmakāya, because they are the basis of all qualities and dharmas, and are composed of all qualities and dharmas. Both the nirmāṇakāya and the parasaṃbhoga are termed janmakāya, because they repeatedly manifest birth in accordance with what is appropriate for sentient beings." It also states: Other sūtras speak of ten kinds of Buddhas: 1. the Buddha of manifest complete awakening; 2. the Buddha of vast vows; 3. the Buddha of karmic maturation; 4. the Buddha of sustaining presence; 5. the Buddha of emanations; 6. the Buddha of the dharmadhātu; 7. the Buddha of mind; 8. the Buddha of samādhi; 9. the Buddha of intrinsic nature; 10. the Buddha of accord with aspirations. The first five are conventional Buddhas, and the latter five are ultimate Buddhas; as appropriate, they are subsumed under the three bodies.
