「甘蔗」等者,既舉二物應有屬對,今試對之,甘蔗質一可以譬定,蒲萄形多可以譬慧,慧約所破、定約所緣,且分多一。「既出下三行頌十號」者,文略義合,出世即無上士及佛。「于」於也。為說即正遍知、明行足,世尊即第十號;於天人中即調御丈夫及天人師,如來即第一號;來善去善兼於善逝,又出于世即世間解。「充潤」下「四弘」者,充潤眾生即初弘誓,皆令離苦即第二誓,皆令離於因果苦故得安隱樂即第三誓。及涅槃樂即第四誓。五乘咸有世間之樂,皆令得於第一之樂。
Regarding 'sugar cane' and the like: having cited two items, there should be a correspondence. Now attempting to pair them: the essence of sugar cane is singular, which may illustrate concentration (samādhi); the shapes of grapes are multiple, which may illustrate wisdom (prajñā). Wisdom is taken in terms of what is broken, while concentration is taken in terms of its cognitive object; thus they are provisionally distinguished into multiple and singular. Regarding 'having set forth the three lines of verse below that praise the ten titles': the text is concise, but the meaning is integrated. 'Appearing in the world' refers to the Unsurpassed Person and the Buddha. 'Yu' means 'in'. 'Preaches for' refers to the One of Right and Universal Knowledge and the One Perfect in Clarity and Conduct; 'World-Honoured One' is the tenth title; 'among devas and humans' refers to the Tamer of Men and Teacher of Devas and Humans; 'Tathāgata' is the first title; 'coming well and going well' also includes the Sugata ('Well-Gone'); furthermore, 'appearing in the world' refers to the Knower of the World. Regarding 'four vast [vows]' under 'enriching': 'enriching sentient beings' is the first vast vow; 'causing all to be free from suffering' is the second vow, because it causes them to be free from the sufferings of both cause and effect; 'attaining peaceful joy' is the third vow; and '[attaining] the joy of nirvāṇa' is the fourth vow. The five vehicles all have mundane joy, yet all are caused to attain the supreme joy.
