### [16.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.16.4)

論　云何下，疏二：初、約義通辨。此五何別者，牒外所問。約果者，於如來法身之上起於執故。通因果者，皆依如來藏之所執故，如來藏性通於因果。又於五中，初二多是習頓教空教及南宗禪學失意者所執；次二多是習大乘法相及北宗禪學失意者所執；後一唯是外道邪見所執。如科文者，如下可見。

> The treatise: 'How, etc.' The commentary has two parts: first, a general explanation according to the meaning. 'What is the distinction among these five?' takes up the outside question. 'In terms of the fruit': because attachments arise regarding the Tathāgata's dharmakāya. 'Pertaining to both cause and fruit': because all are attached to reliant on the tathāgatagarbha, for the nature of the tathāgatagarbha extends to both cause and fruit. Furthermore, among the five: the first two are mostly held by those who study the sudden teaching and the emptiness teaching, as well as the Southern School of Chan, but miss their meaning; the middle two are mostly held by those who study Mahāyāna characteristics of dharmas and the Northern School of Chan, but miss their meaning; the last one is held exclusively by non-Buddhists with heterodox views. 'As in the outline': this can be seen below.
