大乘法苑義林章 4.36

4.36

凡聖得者，有義：初七解脫通凡聖得；第八唯聖得，唯無漏故。七十三說「異生聖者同得初三，然有差別。內外二道通得無爽，除變化障，得自在故。」然《瑜伽》第十五云「初三解脫於一切色得自在故，便能引發諸聖神通，不與一切異生共有」者，彼論自說不還阿羅漢所作，不說異生不作初三。次四解脫，《對法論》說「聖弟子所得，能順無漏，是清淨性，方名解脫，解脫愛味故。外道依無色，多生愛味，執為涅槃故。」由此返顯不簡次四解脫唯聖所得。聖之弟子不得，故通外有。有義：唯前三通內外道，凡聖皆得，論唯說此異生得故。後五唯聖得，論說聖弟子，不說聖之弟子異生故也。

Regarding attainment by ordinary beings and noble ones: There is an opinion: The first seven vimokṣas are attainable by both ordinary beings and noble ones; the eighth is attainable only by noble ones, because it is purely anāsrava. Fascicle 73 says: 'Worldlings and noble ones equally attain the first three, yet there is a distinction. Both internal and external paths attain them without conflict, because eliminating the hindrance of transformation, they attain mastery.' However, the fifteenth fascicle of the Yogācārabhūmi says: 'Because in the first three vimokṣas one attains mastery over all forms, one can then evoke the noble supernatural powers, which are not shared with any ordinary beings'; that treatise itself speaks of what is performed by non-returners and arhats, but does not say that ordinary beings do not practice the first three. As for the next four vimokṣas, the Abhidharmasamuccaya says: 'They are attained by the noble disciples; capable of according with the anāsrava and being of pure nature, they are only then called vimokṣas, because they are free from attachment and relish. Relying on the formless, non-Buddhists mostly produce attachment and relish, clinging to them as nirvāṇa.' By this, it is conversely shown that it does not restrict the next four vimokṣas to being attained only by the noble. Non-disciples of the noble do not attain them, so they do not occur among outsiders. There is another opinion: Only the first three are common to both internal and external paths and attained by both ordinary beings and noble ones, because the treatise only says that ordinary beings attain these. The latter five are attained only by noble ones, because the treatise speaks of noble disciples and does not say that ordinary beings who are disciples of the noble [attain them].
