○二、明半滿。半者,明九部法也;滿者,明十二部法也。世傳涅槃常住,始復是滿,餘者悉半。菩提流支云:「《三藏》是半;《般若》去皆滿。」今明半滿之語,直是扶成大小。前已析體判大小;今亦以體析判半滿,如前云云。

Second, clarifying the half and the full: The 'half' clarifies the nine-division Dharma; the 'full' clarifies the twelve-division Dharma. Worldly tradition transmits that only with the permanence of the Nirvāṇa Sutra is there finally fullness, while all the rest are half. Bodhiruci said: 'The Tripiṭaka is the half; from Prajñā onward, all are full.' Now we clarify that the terminology of half and full merely supports and completes [the distinction between] small and large. Earlier we classified small and large by analysis and embodiment; now we likewise classify half and full by embodiment and analysis, as discussed above.
