Language

3.522

解曰:如謂舉喻。梵云摩尼,此翻為寶,順舊譯也。新云末尼,具足應云震跢末尼,此云思惟寶。會意翻云如意寶珠,隨意所求皆滿足故。體具眾德者,標下眾德也。從此第二別顯勝德。

Exposition: 'Like' means citing an analogy. In Sanskrit it is maṇi; here it is translated as 'jewel', following the old translation. The new translation renders it maṇi; fully it should be cintāmaṇi, which here translates to 'jewel of thought'. Translating by sense, it is called 'wish-fulfilling jewel' (ruyi baozhu), because whatever one's mind seeks is completely fulfilled. 'Whose substance possesses manifold virtues' indicates the manifold virtues below. From here on is the second, separately revealing its superior virtues.
