2.59

述曰,世親云,此為第二示現受、持真妙法故,於中初、明大機持誦,為荷菩提;次、顯二乘、凡夫不能聽受,此初也。謂受、持之者,當能證獲菩提,雖現未得,後必得故,故言荷擔。荷謂荷負,擔謂擔揭,言受、持者則為負揭得菩提故。

Commentary: Vasubandhu says: this is the second point, displaying the receiving and upholding of the true, sublime Dharma. Within it, first, it shows that those of great capacity who uphold and recite it shoulder bodhi; second, it shows that those of the two vehicles and ordinary beings cannot listen to and receive it. This is the first. Those who receive and uphold it will be able to realize and attain bodhi; although they have not yet attained it at present, they will certainly attain it in the future, and therefore it is called 'shouldering.' He means carrying upon the shoulder, and dan means bearing a burden: it means that those who receive and uphold it bear and carry the attainment of bodhi.
