### [4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1727.4.6)

三、「此十」下，結成慈悲普。二、「問地」下，就地獄料簡，二：初、約重苦妨樂問。二、約乘機代苦答，二：初、「答眾」下，乘機示因。以第三念憶知先罪，必有悔心。大聖承機現身說法，或密警發令起善心，即樂因也；或即得樂，如婆羅門；或後得樂，如婆藪所化。二、「又菩」下，代苦與樂。《請觀音》云「或遊戲地獄，大悲代受苦。」

> Third, from "These ten..." downward, concluding that benevolence and compassion are universal. Second, from "Question: Ground..." downward, evaluating regarding hell, having two parts: First, questioning based on heavy suffering obstructing bliss. Second, answering based on taking advantage of capacity to substitute for suffering, having two parts: First, from "Answer: Sentient..." downward, taking advantage of capacity to indicate the cause: because in the third thought they remember and know their prior transgression, they must have a repentant mind. The Great Sage, availing himself of the capacity, manifests a body and expounds the Dharma, or secretly prompts and awakens them to give rise to a good mind, which is the cause of bliss; either they immediately attain bliss, like the brahmins, or later attain bliss, like those converted by Vasu. Second, from "Also, bodhisattvas..." downward, substituting for suffering and bestowing bliss. The Invocation of Avalokiteśvara states: "Or sporting in the hells, with great compassion substituting to undergo suffering."
