次就位論。此五通則遍在諸地;隨相別分,修在地前、成在地上。此云何知?如經中說「定行成時住堪忍地,慧行成時住不動地,慈行成時住於極愛一子之地,捨行成時住空平等地。」所成皆在初地已上,明知修處在於地前。五行如是。

Next is the discussion according to stages. These five, generally speaking, are omnipresent across all bhūmis; differentiated according to their characteristics, their cultivation is prior to the bhūmis and their completion is on the bhūmis. How is this known? As the sūtra states: "When the practice of concentration is completed, one abides in the stage of endurance; when the practice of wisdom is completed, one abides in the immovable stage; when the practice of benevolence is completed, one abides in the stage of regarding beings as an only child with utmost love; when the practice of equanimity is completed, one abides in the stage of emptiness and equality." What is completed is entirely on the first bhūmi and above; this clearly indicates that the locus of cultivation is prior to the bhūmis. Such are the five practices.
