【辟支迦羅】孤山云：「此翻緣覺，觀十二緣而悟道故。亦翻獨覺，出無佛世，無師自悟故。」今《楞嚴》云：「復有無量辟支者，將非他方無佛之土，大權引實，而來此會乎。」霅川云：「或佛知此眾當獲大益，威神攝至，不亦可乎？」獨覺稱麟喻者，名出《俱舍》；名為犀角，出《大集經》。檇李云：「獨覺亦觀十二因緣，亦可名為緣覺。但約根有利鈍，值佛不值佛之殊，分二類也。」

> \[Pratyekabuddha\] Gushan says: "This is translated as 'condition-enlightened' (yuangue), because they awaken to the Path by contemplating the twelve conditions. It is also translated as 'solitary-enlightened' (dujue), because they appear in an era without a Buddha and awaken on their own without a teacher." Now the Śūraṅgama sūtra says: "There were also immeasurable pratyekas..."—could it not be that they come from other worlds without Buddhas, where great provisional \[means\] lead to the real, and thus come to this assembly? Zhachuan says: "Or could it be that the Buddha knew this assembly would attain great benefit, and by his spiritual power gathered them here? Is that not also possible?" The solitary-enlightened being called 'one resembling a unicorn' is a designation from the Kośa; the designation 'rhinoceros horn' comes from the Mahāsaṃnipāta-sūtra. Zuili says: "The solitary-enlightened also contemplate the twelve causes and conditions, so they may also be called condition-enlightened. It is only according to the distinction of sharp or dull faculties, and meeting or not meeting a Buddha, that they are divided into two kinds."
