辯修分位品第五
已說修對治，修分位云何？頌曰：
Now that the practice of counteracting afflictions has been explained, what are the stages of practice? The verse says:
所說修對治， 分位有十八，
謂因、入、行、果、 作、無作、殊勝、
上、無上、解行、 入、出離、記、說、
灌頂及證得、 勝利、成所作。
The practice of applying remedies to afflictions occurs in eighteen stages: causal, entering, practice, fruit, active and effortless, extraordinary, supreme, unsurpassed, realization, entry, liberation, marking, teaching, consecration and attainment, benefit, and perfect accomplishment.
論曰：如前所說修諸對治，差別分位有十八種。一因位，謂住種性補特伽羅。二入位，謂已發心。三加行位，謂發心已，未得果證。四果位，謂已得果。五有所作位，謂住有學。六無所作位，謂住無學。七殊勝位，謂已成就諸神通等殊勝功德。八有上位，謂超聲聞等已入菩薩地。九無上位，謂已成佛，從此以上無勝位故。十勝解行位，謂勝解行地一切菩薩。十一證入位，謂極喜地。十二出離位，謂次六地。十三受記位，謂第八地。十四辯說位，謂第九地。十五灌頂位，謂第十地。十六證得位，謂佛法身。十七勝利位，謂受用身。十八成所作位，謂變化身。此諸分位差別雖多，應知略說但有三種。其三者何？頌曰：
The Treatise states: As discussed earlier, the various forms of antidotal practice can be categorized into eighteen distinct stages based on differences in stage and attainment.
1. **The Stage of Potential** — refers to beings who possess the inherent seed-nature (spiritual lineage). 2. **The Stage of Entering the Path** — refers to those who have generated the resolve for enlightenment (bodhicitta). 3. **The Stage of Preparatory Practice** — refers to those who have generated this resolve but have not yet attained the fruit. 4. **The Stage of Realizing the Fruit** — refers to those who have attained the fruit. 5. **The Stage of Still Having Work to Do** — refers to those in training (learners). 6. **The Stage of No More Work to Do** — refers to those beyond training (adepts). 7. **The Stage of Excellence** — refers to those who have perfected extraordinary qualities such as superknowledges. 8. **The Stage of Superior Attainment** — refers to those who have surpassed the level of Hearers (śrāvakas) and entered the Bodhisattva stages. 9. **The Stage of Ultimate Attainment** — refers to those who have become Buddhas, for there is no higher stage beyond this. 10. **The Stage of Resolute Faith and Practice** — refers to all Bodhisattvas at the level of resolute aspiration. 11. **The Stage of Direct Realization** — refers to the Stage of Great Joy. 12. **The Stage of Leaving Behind the World** — refers to the next six stages (second through seventh). 13. **The Stage of Receiving Prophecy** — refers to the Eighth Stage. 14. **The Stage of Eloquent Teaching** — refers to the Ninth Stage. 15. **The Stage of Anointment** — refers to the Tenth Stage. 16. **The Stage of Direct Attainment** — refers to the Dharma Body of a Buddha. 17. **The Stage of Enjoying Benefits** — refers to the Enjoyment Body (Sambhogakāya). 18. **The Stage of Accomplishing All Deeds** — refers to the Emanation Body (Nirmāṇakāya).
Although these stages may seem numerous, know that they can be summarized into just three. What are these three? The verse says:
應知法界中， 略有三分位，
不淨、淨不淨、 清淨隨所應。
You should understand: in the realm of reality, There are roughly three levels to see: Impure, both pure and impure, And pure, as each accords with its conditions.
論曰：於真法界位略有三，隨其所應攝前諸位。一不淨位，謂從因位乃至加行；二淨不淨位，謂有學位；三清淨位，謂無學位。云何應知依前諸位差別建立補特伽羅？頌曰：
依前諸位中， 所有差別相，
隨所應建立， 諸補特伽羅。
論曰：應知依前諸位別相，如應建立補特伽羅，謂此住種性、此已發心等。
修分位總義者，謂堪能位即種性位，發趣位即入加行位，不淨位、淨不淨位、清淨位、有莊嚴位、遍滿位謂遍滿十地故無上位。
