Original text:当知此中金刚喻定所摄作意。名加行究竟作意。最上阿罗汉果所摄作意。名加行究竟果作意。由如是等多种作意。依出世道证得究竟。如是一切名声闻地。此是一切正等觉者所说。一切声闻相应教法根本。犹如一切名句文身。是所制造文章咒术。异论根本。

Explanation: One should know that in the path of cultivation, the attention (manaskāra) subsumed under the vajra-like meditative concentration is called the attention of the culmination of preparation (prayoga-niṣṭhā-manaskāra); the attention subsumed under the supreme fruit of the arhat is called the attention of the fruit of the culmination of preparation (prayoga-niṣṭhā-phala-manaskāra). By means of such various kinds of attention, one relies on the supramundane path to attain ultimate realization. All such various teachings are called the "Ground of Śrāvakas." This is what all perfectly and fully awakened ones, all Buddhas, have taught—the fundamental teachings corresponding to all śrāvakas, just as all name-bodies, phrase-bodies, and syllable-bodies are the basis for the composition of writings, mantras, and heterodox doctrines.
