1.60

圓教微言，必窮法界，既盡如來無盡辯力，各遍虛空毛端剎海，復各盡窮未來際，頓說常說，時處無邊，若斯之教豈可限其部帙？今約准經文析為十類：一異說經、二同說經、三普眼經、四上本經、五中本經、六下本經、七略本經、八主伴經、九眷屬經、十圓滿經。

The subtle words of the perfect teaching necessarily exhaust the dharmadhātu. Since they exhaust the Tathāgata's inexhaustible power of eloquence, each pervades empty space, hair-tips, and the ocean of lands, and each further exhausts the future bounds of time, expounded suddenly and expounded constantly, with boundless time and places. How could a teaching such as this be limited to volumes and cases? Now, according to the sūtra text, it is analyzed into ten categories: 1. The Differently Expounded Sūtra; 2. The Identically Expounded Sūtra; 3. The Universal Vision Sūtra; 4. The Superior Version of the Sūtra; 5. The Middling Version of the Sūtra; 6. The Inferior Version of the Sūtra; 7. The Abridged Version of the Sūtra; 8. The Host-and-Companion Sūtra; 9. The Retinue Sūtra; 10. The Consummate Sūtra.
