次發心中四:初明所緣境,次「菩薩」下明發心,三「思益」下引證誓相,四「如是」下結。初文中言「金藏草穢」,如前所引貧女金藏大小不知。「思益三十二大悲」者,《思益》第二「佛告思益梵天:能知如來五力說法,是菩薩能作佛事,一說,二隨宜,三方便,四法門,五大悲。」前四如經,大悲者有三十二救護眾生,一一大悲皆為眾生不知不解而起大悲,如云諸法無我眾生不解而起大悲,無眾生,無壽命,無人,無所有,無住,無歸等。

Next, in the arousal of the mind, there are four parts: first, clarifying the objective realm that is conditioned; next, from "bodhisattvas" downward, clarifying the arousal of the mind; third, from "Siyi" downward, adducing proof of the vows' characteristics; fourth, from "thus" downward, the conclusion. In the first text, "gold hidden among weeds and filth" is as quoted earlier regarding the poor woman's treasure of gold, neither big nor small being known. As for "the thirty-two great compassions of the Siyi," the second fascicle of the Siyi states: "The Buddha told Brahmā Siyi: One who can know the Tathāgata's five powers of preaching the dharma is a bodhisattva able to perform the Buddha's work: first, preaching; second, according with what is fitting; third, skillful means; fourth, dharma doors; fifth, great compassion." The first four are as in the sūtra. As for great compassion, there are thirty-two ways of rescuing and protecting sentient beings, each and every great compassion arising because sentient beings do not know and do not understand; such as saying that all dharmas are devoid of self, yet sentient beings do not understand, and thus arising great compassion; no sentient beings, no life span, no person, no possessions, no abiding, no refuge, and so forth.
