4.41

「圓智無相」下三,二、頌明妙覺地,即寂滅上忍也。得一切種智圓滿、盡無明之相,故云圓智無相。得此無相方為三界之主。《法華》亦云「今此三界皆是我有」,喻云「是時宅主在門外立」等也。十地菩薩受第三十生,未名為盡;今妙覺菩薩不受此生,故名「盡」也。前三十生未盡不名大覺,佛地生盡故名「大覺」。得涅槃名「大寂」。無餘無為,四魔不能破壞,如「金剛藏」。前三十生並有因盡果生,今大果圓滿更不復生,故云「報盡」。盡未來際拔眾生苦,故悲無窮極也。「第一義諦」即涅槃,故「常安隱」,即常樂我淨。窮無明之原、盡煩惱之性,不同外道斷見、聲聞證空,雖無得無成而妙智常照。上來頌五忍竟。長行偈頌互明五忍,而十地妙覺出沒不同,是乃大聖隨機轉文顯義者也。

From "Perfect wisdom without characteristics" onwards is the second, three [lines] praising and clarifying the stage of wondrous awakening, which is the upper patience of complete extinction. Attaining the perfection of sarvākārajñatā and exhausting the characteristics of fundamental ignorance, it is called "perfect wisdom without characteristics." Attaining this lack of characteristics, one only then becomes the master of the three realms. The *Lotus Sūtra* also says, "Now this triple world is entirely mine," with the parable saying, "At that time the master of the house stood outside the gate," and so forth. A bodhisattva of the tenth bhūmi receives the thirtieth birth, not yet termed "exhausted"; now the bodhisattva of wondrous awakening does not receive this birth, hence termed "exhausted." Before the thirty births are exhausted, one is not called the Great Awakened One; when births are exhausted on the buddha-stage, one is called the "Great Awakened One." Attaining nirvāṇa is called "Great Tranquility." Without remainder and unconditioned, the four Māras cannot destroy it, like a "diamond treasury." In the preceding thirty births, there was both exhaustion of causes and generation of fruits; now that the great fruit is fully perfected, there is no further rebirth, hence called "retribution exhausted." To the limits of future time pulling beings out of suffering, their compassion is therefore without extreme limits. "The supreme truth" is nirvāṇa, hence "constantly peaceful and secure," which is permanence, bliss, self, and purity. Exhausting the source of fundamental ignorance and depleting the nature of mental afflictions, unlike the annihilationist views of non-Buddhists or śrāvakas' realization of emptiness, although there is nothing attained and nothing accomplished, wondrous wisdom constantly illuminates. Above, the verses on the five patiences are concluded. The prose and gāthās mutually clarify the five patiences, yet the appearances and disappearances of the ten bhūmis and wondrous awakening vary; this is the Great Sage adapting the text to reveal the meaning in accordance with capacities.
