次就位論。如《地持》說:法義呪術,度初僧祇入淨心地所成就者,必定不動最勝最妙。中間所得,或因願力、或禪定力,不定不住。忍陀羅尼起在解行,成在地上。若復通論,種性已上亦能起之。住分如是(此五門竟)。

Next, it is discussed with reference to stages. As the Bodhisattvabhūmi says: As for the [dhāraṇīs of] Dharma, meaning, and incantation, those perfected upon crossing the first asaṃkhyeya [kalpa] and entering the stage of pure mind are definitely unshakeable, supreme, and most wondrous. Those attained in between, whether by the power of vows or the power of dhyāna-concentration, are indefinite and unstable. The forbearance-dhāraṇī arises in [the stage of] resolute practice and is perfected on the bhūmis. If discussed comprehensively, those from the lineage-nature [stage] and above are also capable of giving rise to it. The division of stages is thus. (This completes the fifth section.)
