十應作所作住持不退轉,名稱普聞無量世界,故能住持佛法令法不滅。眾生聞名信向修學,能度無數百千眾生,故名應作所作,菩薩所應作謂利眾生故。上來上支。下支門下明攝取事門。論有二釋。論攝取事門者,攝取諸功德事。
Tenth, 'non-retrogression of upholding what ought to be done and what has been done': 'their fame universally heard throughout immeasurable worlds,' whereby they can uphold the Buddha's Dharma, preventing the Dharma from perishing. Sentient beings, hearing their name, have faith and aspire to cultivate and learn, 'able to deliver countless hundreds of thousands of sentient beings'; hence it is called 'what ought to be done and what has been done,' since what bodhisattvas ought to do is to benefit sentient beings. The above completes the upper section. Under the lower section, the gate of integrating matters is clarified. The Treatise has two explanations. The 'gate of integrating matters' in the Treatise refers to integrating various virtuous matters.
