第三依身地門者，於中有二：一者依身、二者依地。言依身者，四果四向於三界中何界初起？九地之中於何初起？答：前之三果、三向唯於欲界身初證初起；第四果通三界身；第四果向初起唯欲、色。若約地論，前之三果向唯一地起，謂欲界地；其第四果通九地；第四果向準果應知。釋依身訖。言依地者，前之二果，唯初未至心；若那含果，初未至及根本；若羅漢果通九地心。八根本及初未至，即九地成。即出依身地訖。

Third, the section on the bases of support in terms of body and stage. This has two parts: first, based on the body; second, based on the stage. Regarding 'based on the body': among the three realms, in which realm do the four fruits and four candidates first arise? Among the nine stages, in which do they first arise? Answer: The preceding three fruits and three candidates are first realized and first arise only in the body of the desire realm. The fourth fruit extends across the bodies of the three realms. The candidate for the fourth fruit first arises only in [the realms of] desire and form. If discussed in terms of stages, the preceding three fruits and candidates arise in only one stage, namely the stage of the desire realm. The fourth fruit extends across the nine stages. The candidate for the fourth fruit should be understood by analogy with the fruit. Explaining the basis of the body is completed. Regarding 'based on the stage': the preceding two fruits rely only on the initial mind of not-yet-arrived [dhyāna]. For the fruit of non-returner, it relies on the initial not-yet-arrived and the fundamental [dhyānas]. For the fruit of arhat, it extends across the minds of the nine stages. The eight fundamental [absorptions] and the initial not-yet-arrived constitute the nine stages. This completes the presentation of the bases of body and stage.
