邊無邊中四種見者,一有邊見、二無邊見、三亦有邊亦無邊見、四非有邊非無邊見。言有邊者,有人入定觀察世間,齊己所見,生有邊想,便言:「世間一向有邊。」是為初見。言無邊者,有人入定觀察世間,生無邊想,便作是言:「世間無邊。」是為二見。言亦有邊亦無邊者,有人入定觀察世間,上下有邊四方無邊,四方有邊上下無邊,便言:「世間亦有邊亦無邊。」是為三見。言非有邊非無邊者,或復有人,以捷疾智觀察世間為非有邊及無邊,便言:「世間非邊無邊。」此義如前十四難中具廣分別。是為四見(此三門竟)。
Regarding the four kinds of views on the finite and infinite: first, the view of the finite; second, the view of the infinite; third, the view of both finite and infinite; fourth, the view of neither finite nor infinite. Regarding 'the finite': someone enters samādhi and observes the world, and according to what is perceived, gives rise to the conception of finitude, and thereupon says: 'The world is wholly finite.' This is the first view. Regarding 'the infinite': someone enters samādhi and observes the world, gives rise to the conception of infinitude, and thereupon says: 'The world is infinite.' This is the second view. Regarding 'both finite and infinite': someone enters samādhi and observes the world, seeing that above and below are finite while the four directions are infinite, or that the four directions are finite while above and below are infinite, and thereupon says: 'The world is both finite and infinite.' This is the third view. Regarding 'neither finite nor infinite': or again, someone, by means of swift and agile intellect, observes the world to be neither finite nor infinite, and thereupon says: 'The world is neither finite nor infinite.' The meaning of this is explained in full detail as in the previous discussion of the fourteen unanswerable questions. This is the fourth view. (This concludes the third section.)
