金剛三昧經論 3.172

3.172

經曰　爾時地藏菩薩聞佛所說心地快然，時諸眾等無有疑者，知眾心已而說偈言：　「我知眾心疑，所以殷固問。如來大慈善，分別無有餘。是諸二眾等，皆悉得明了。我今於了處，普化諸眾生，如佛之大悲，不捨於本願，故於一子地，而住於煩惱。」

The sūtra says: At that time, Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva, hearing what the Buddha spoke, felt joyful in his mind-ground. At that time, none among the assembly had doubts. Knowing the minds of the assembly, he spoke a verse: / 'I knew the doubts in the assembly's minds, / Which was why I asked so earnestly and firmly. / The Tathāgata, with great kindness and compassion, / Has analyzed without remainder. / These two assemblies / Have all attained clear understanding. / Now, in the state of understanding, / I shall universally transform sentient beings, / Just like the Buddha's great compassion, / Never forsaking my fundamental vow, / Thus abiding in the stage of a single child, / While remaining among afflictions.'
