初釋名者,先辨義名。就第二修因契果生解分中有二:上來明修生因果竟,自下二品明修顯因果。亦是上明差別因果,下顯平等因果。若就五周因果中,此是第三明自體因果。二品名者,德周法界曰普,用順成善稱賢,攝德表人名為菩薩,對緣造修目之為行。普賢之行,普賢則行可知。

First, in explaining the title, we first distinguish the conceptual name. Within the second division on cultivating the cause and matching the fruit to generate understanding, there are two parts: up to this point, the cultivation and generation of cause and fruit have been explained; the following two chapters explain the cultivation and revelation of cause and fruit. This is also that what was above explained the differentiated causes and fruits, while what follows reveals the equal causes and fruits. If considered within the five cycles of cause and fruit, this is the third: revealing the cause and fruit of the intrinsic essence. Second, regarding the chapter title: virtue pervading the dharmadhātu is called 'Universal' (samanta); function according with and accomplishing goodness is called 'Bhadra'; gathering virtues to manifest the person is called 'Bodhisattva'; and creating and cultivating in response to conditions is termed 'Practice'. The practice of Samantabhadra; [from] Samantabhadra, then the practice can be known.
