【The Three Types of Persons 道次引导】Attain the preceding high status first, then attain certain goodness. 先得增上生，后得决定胜

【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Attain the preceding high status first, then attain certain goodness.

【The protector Nagarjuna also said to guide students in stages through the paths of high status and certain goodness:】

This is from Bodhisattva Nagarjuna.

【Initially there are the teachings on high status;
Then come the teachings on certain goodness.
For, having obtained high status,
You gradually reach certain goodness.】

The stages of guidance come from the shared small capacity, which is high status, and it is followed by certain goodness. Certain goodness has two types: the certain goodness of the shared medium capacity and the specific certain goodness of the unshared great capacity. It has to be followed in this sequence, because when you attain the preceding high status, gradually you will surely attain certain goodness.

【to guide students in stages through the paths of high status and certain goodness】

This is the explanation of the reasoning. So this comes from Bodhisattva Nagarjuna of the Profound View School.

道次引导 : 先得增上生，后得决定胜

【龙猛依怙亦云：】

这是龙树菩萨的。

【“先增上生法，决定胜后起，以得增上生，渐得决定胜。”】

那么引导的次第呢先是共下士的，共下士就是增上生，那么然后呢决定胜以后顺着次第。决定胜有两种：共中士的决定胜，跟不共上士的特殊的决定胜。必须顺着这个次第，因为你得到了前面的增上生，渐渐地自然可以得到决定胜。

【此说增上生道及决定胜道，次第引导。】

就是说明这个道理。那么这个是性宗的祖师龙树菩萨。
