第二、明罪滅階降不同者，懺法既有別異，當知滅罪亦復不同。所以者何？罪有三品：一者、違無作起障道罪；二者、體性罪；三者、無明煩惱根本罪。通稱罪者，摧也。現則摧損行人功德智慧，未來之世三塗受報，則能摧折行者色心，故名為罪。

Second, explaining the differences in the stages and degrees of the elimination of guilt: since repentance methods differ, one should know that their elimination of guilt is also different. Why is this? Guilts have three grades: first, path-obstructing guilt arising from violating non-informative [form]; second, intrinsic guilt; third, root guilt of ignorance and afflictions. Commonly termed 'guilt' (*āpatti* / *pāpa*), it means to crush. In the present, it crushes and damages the practitioner's merit and wisdom; in future lifetimes when retribution is received in the three destinies, it can crush and break the practitioner's physical form and mind; therefore it is called guilt.
