初釋名者,《攝大乘》云「由得最勝無礙智故。」世親釋云「由無礙解智說名為慧,此慧妙善故名善慧。」無性釋云「謂得最勝四無礙解,無礙解智於諸智中最為殊勝。智即是慧,故名善慧。」四無礙者,法、義、詞、辯。由法無礙,自在了知一切名句。由義無礙,自在通達一切義理。由詞無礙,自在分別一切言詞。由辯無礙,遍於十方隨其所宜自在辯說。於此地中最初證得先未曾得無礙解智,故名善慧。《莊嚴論》云「於九地中,四無礙慧最為殊勝。於一剎那三千世界所有人天異類異音異義問,此菩薩能以一音普答眾問遍斷眾疑。由此說言名為善慧。」《金光明》云「說法自在無患累故,增長智慧自在無礙。」《解深密經》「於一切種說法自在,獲得無罪廣大智慧,故名善慧。」《瑜伽.住品》云「由此地中一切有情利益安樂意樂清淨,逮得菩薩無礙解慧。由此善能宣說正法,是故此地名善慧地。」《十住論》云「其慧轉明調柔增上,名善慧地。」《成唯識論》「成就微妙四無礙解,能遍十方善說法故。」《仁王經》中名為慧光地。《智度論》中名善相地。

First, explaining the name: The *Mahāyānasaṃgraha* states: "Because of attaining the supreme unimpeded knowledge." Vasubandhu explains: "Through the knowledge of unimpeded comprehension, it is called wisdom; this wisdom is wondrously good, so it is named 'Good Wisdom.'" Asvabhāva explains: "It refers to attaining the supreme four unimpeded comprehensions; the knowledge of unimpeded comprehension is the most superior among all knowledges. Knowledge is precisely wisdom, hence it is called 'Good Wisdom.'" The four unimpeded [comprehensions] are [unimpeded comprehension of] Dharma, meaning, phrasing, and eloquence. By unimpeded comprehension of Dharma, one knows all names and sentences with mastery. By unimpeded comprehension of meaning, one thoroughly penetrates all meanings and principles with mastery. By unimpeded comprehension of phrasing, one differentiates all terms of speech with mastery. By unimpeded comprehension of eloquence, one expounds with mastery throughout the ten directions in accordance with what is appropriate. In this bhūmi, one initially realizes the knowledge of unimpeded comprehension never attained before; hence it is named 'Good Wisdom.' The *Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkāra* states: "In the ninth bhūmi, the wisdom of the four unimpeded [comprehensions] is the most superior. In a single kṣaṇa, when all humans, devas, and different classes of beings in the trichiliocosm ask questions with different voices and different meanings, this bodhisattva is able with a single voice to answer all questions universally and sever all doubts completely. Therefore it is said to be named 'Good Wisdom.'" The *Suvarṇaprabhāsa* states: "Because preaching the Dharma is mastered and free from distress and toil, one increases in wisdom, masterful and unimpeded." The *Saṃdhinirmocana Sūtra* states: "Being masterful in expounding the Dharma in all modes, one attains immaculate, vast wisdom; hence it is named 'Good Wisdom.'" The "Bhūmi Chapter" of the *Yogācārabhūmi* states: "Because in this bhūmi the intention to bring benefit, peace, and happiness to all sentient beings is purified, one attains the bodhisattva's wisdom of unimpeded comprehension. Because one is thereby well able to proclaim the true Dharma, this bhūmi is named the Good Wisdom Bhūmi." The *Daśabhūmika-vibhāṣā* states: "Its wisdom turns brighter and becomes increasingly pliant and superior; it is named the Good Wisdom Bhūmi." The *Cheng weishi lun* states: "Because one accomplishes the wondrous four unimpeded comprehensions and is able to preach the Dharma well throughout the ten directions." In the *Benevolent Kings Sūtra*, it is named the Wisdom Light Bhūmi. In the *Dà zhìdù lùn*, it is named the Good Characteristic Bhūmi.
