三、辨相者,問:但施等即得名為波羅蜜多,為不爾耶?答:有得不得。故《唯識》云:「要七最勝之所攝受,方可建立波羅蜜多。一安住最勝,謂要安住菩薩種姓。二依止最勝,謂要依止大菩提心。三意樂最勝,謂要悲愍一切有情。四事業最勝,謂要具行一切事業。五巧便最勝,謂要無相智所攝受。六迴向最勝,謂要迴向無上菩提。七清淨最勝,謂要不為二障間雜。若非此七所攝受者,雖行施等,但名施等,不得名為到彼岸也。」

Third, as for discerning their characteristics: Question: Does merely [practicing] giving and the others immediately merit the name pāramitā, or is that not so?

Answer: There are cases where it merits it and where it does not. Thus the Cheng weishi lun states: "Only when subsumed by the seven superiorities can a pāramitā be established: 1. Superiority of abiding, meaning one must abide in the bodhisattva lineage. 2. Superiority of reliance, meaning one must rely on the mind of great bodhi. 3. Superiority of inclination, meaning one must have compassion for all sentient beings. 4. Superiority of activities, meaning one must fully carry out all undertakings. 5. Superiority of skillful means, meaning one must be embraced by the wisdom of signlessness. 6. Superiority of dedication, meaning one must dedicate toward unsurpassed bodhi. 7. Superiority of purity, meaning one must not be interrupted by the two obstructions. If not subsumed by these seven, even if one practices giving and so forth, it is merely called giving and the like; it cannot be called reaching the other shore."
