Here there are five: first, citing the text below; next, from "spiritual power" downward correctly explains, the body and hands referring to the previous explanation of the robe, lapel, and so forth; third, from "the Tathāgata" downward clarifies the three intents of use; fourth, from "robe and lapel" downward clarifies the intent in establishing the names. The first three can be known. The statement "the name is concise and the meaning profound": because knowledge and vision are two, the name is concise; because it subsumes all dharmas, the meaning is profound; just as a robe and lapel are a single item, hence concise, but hold many things, hence profound. "The four fearlessnesses" are briefly as in the \*Order of the Dharma Realm\* and the notes on the seventh fascicle of \*Great Calming and Contemplation\*, and are extensively explained in the \*Treatise on the Great Perfection of Wisdom\*. In general, fearlessness means the ten powers are abundant within and their external application is without trepidation, which is called fearlessness. The Buddha himself truthfully said: "I am the omniscient and all-seeing one; there is no śramaṇa or brāhmaṇa, no heavenly māra, Brahmā, or any other group, who can say the Tathāgata does not know, up to having not even the subtlest mark of fear." "Pairing with the four truths": ending the path of suffering is the truth of suffering; explaining the obstacle path is the truth of the cause; omniscience is the truth of the path; the exhaustion of outflows is the truth of cessation. The four kinds of four truths are the four-by-four fearlessnesses; now it must be in the perfect \[teaching\]: permeating all four, separating two into four, both relying on the truths, with the truths as what is relied upon, hence it is called "secure." Next, among the ten powers, generally speaking of power: the inner real function of wisdom attained by all buddhas is completely distinct and clear, unconquerable and indestructible, hence called power. The distinction between fearlessness and power as internal and external, each universally subsuming, is called horizontal; the ten powers relying on principle is called vertical. Then clarifying the truths in ten places—how could it not be greatly secure? Although fearlessness and power have internal and external, now both are discussed in terms of function, so internal and external are complete. Fifth, from "three-seven" downward concludes the intent of conferring teaching. The phrase "yet sentient beings could not bear it": this was directly conferring the Great, and the word "cannot bear" is spoken drawing on the general sense. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.6.46) - [Next: 6.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.6.48) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719~en-mt.6.47) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.6.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.6.47) · Pramāṇa
