十地等者，釋願聞之相。即《華嚴》十地品中，諸菩薩眾請金剛藏說十地法門之偈。今借用之。然前四句，於中約喻配其三慧。初句聞慧，聞法不思如飲水不味。次句思慧，若要尋求食味，應須啖嚼。第三修慧，修行惑遣如服藥病除。後句即三慧之果。蜂採百華以成蜜，人集萬行以證真，蜂成蜜已依蜜而活，人證真已依真而住。

> Regarding "the ten grounds," etc., it explains the characteristics of wishing to hear. These are the verses in the "Ten Grounds" chapter of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra in which the assembly of bodhisattvas requests Vajragarbha to preach the Dharma gates of the ten grounds. They are borrowed here. As for the first four lines, within them the three wisdoms are matched by way of metaphor. The first line is the wisdom born of hearing: hearing the Dharma without reflecting is like drinking water without tasting it. The second line is the wisdom born of reflection: if one wants to seek out the flavor of food, one must chew it. The third line is the wisdom born of cultivation: practicing cultivation to dispel delusion is like taking medicine to cure illness. The last line is the fruit of the three wisdoms. A bee gathers a hundred blossoms to make honey; a person accumulates the myriad practices to realize truth. Once the bee has made honey, it lives by relying on the honey; once a person has realized truth, they abide by relying on truth.
