1.45

第二常沒,喻外凡夫常沒三有。暫出還沒,喻五停心總別念處,聖性未成,還復退故。住喻燸等,聖性成就必得涅槃,故名為住。餘皆如前(此二門竟)。

Second, constantly submerged illustrates the external ordinary person who is constantly submerged in the three realms of existence. Emerging temporarily and submerging again illustrates the fivefold mental stabilities and the collective and distinct applications of mindfulness, where, noble nature not yet being accomplished, they fall back again. Standing firm illustrates heat and the like, where, noble nature being accomplished, they will certainly attain nirvāṇa, and are thus called 'standing firm'. The rest are all as before. (This completes the second gateway.)
