大記云：九世即入成十世耶？為約十世更論即入耶？答：二義並得。故康藏云：然此九世迭相即入故成一總句，總別合成十世也。此十世具足別異同時現，現成緣起，故得相入也。解云：初釋九世即入成十世也，後釋約十世令相即入也。

The Great Record says: Do the nine periods mutually enter and thereby become the ten periods? Or, in terms of the ten periods, does one further discuss mutual identity and entry? Answer: Both meanings are admissible. Thus Kangzang says: 'However, because these nine periods alternate in mutual identity and entry, they form one universal phrase; universal and particulars combine to form ten periods. These ten periods, fully possessing distinctions, appear simultaneously; currently forming pratītyasamutpāda, they are therefore able to enter one another.' Explanation: The first explains that the nine periods mutually enter and become the ten periods; the latter explains that one causes mutual identity and entry in terms of the ten periods.
