問：所以得知信位菩薩，乃至佛同處並頭？如下經云「初發心時便成正覺」，亦如《地論》釋「信地菩薩乃至佛，六相成故」，明知有如是義。六相如上。此語欲入法性家要門，開陀羅尼藏，好𮐺𭧦故。上來所明者，唯顯示一乘陀羅尼大緣起法，亦可論一乘無礙辨大體，非三乘分齊。

Question: How is it known that a bodhisattva of the rank of faith up to the Buddha are in the same place side by side? As the sūtra below says: "At the moment of first generating the mind, one immediately achieves right awakening"; and as the Daśabhūmivyākhyāna explains: "Because the six characteristics are accomplished from the bodhisattva on the stage of faith up to the Buddha"; one clearly knows that there is such a meaning. The six characteristics are as above. These words are an essential gateway for entering the family of dharmatā, opening the treasury of dhāraṇī, being very deep and wonderful. What has been explained above only reveals the great conditioned arising dharma of the One Vehicle dhāraṇī; it can also be said to discuss the great substance of unhindered eloquence of the One Vehicle, and is not the delimitation of the Three Vehicles.
