第十七力士眾有十：一示佛色身出世。二一一毛孔重現光色。三中法身無涯名離垢，起用普應名自在等。四中淨音有四義，謂深故、廣故、妙故、益故，皆不可量也。下頌中四句，如次應知。五中二：初處中現身、後眾中說法，皆有多門故云種種。下頌中各以二句，如次應知。六中二：一攝相歸真，故無不入真之餘相。二從真起用，故無真不入真之餘用故名也。頌中如次各二句，顯可知。七中移情住法名舉也。實通一切，就淨名天。八中初功德體，此具因果，頌中初二句因、次一句果。廣照是用，頌中後一句顯也。九中現佛身土，令機滅惡住善。頌中初現土、後現身。十光雲遍世灑法寶雨故名也。頌中十偈各頌一法，如前應知。

> Seventeenth, the assembly of mighty champions has ten:  
> First, showing the Buddha's physical body appearing in the world.  
> Second, in each and every pore, repeatedly manifesting light and color.  
> In the third, the dharmakāya having no bounds is called "free from defilement"; giving rise to function and universally responding is called "sovereign," and so forth.  
> In the fourth, the pure sound has four meanings: deep, broad, marvelous, and beneficial; none of which can be measured. The four lines in the verses below should be understood accordingly in sequence.  
> In the fifth, there are two: first, manifesting the body amidst the center; next, preaching the Dharma amidst the assembly; both having many portals, hence called "various." In the verses below, two lines are used for each, which should be understood accordingly in sequence.  
> In the sixth, there are two: 1. gathering characteristics back into the true, so that there is no remaining characteristic that does not enter the true; 2. giving rise to function from the true, so that there is no true that does not enter the true's remaining functions, hence the name. In the verses, there are two lines for each in sequence, clearly evident.  
> In the seventh, shifting feelings to abide in the Dharma is called "raising." It actually pervades all; in terms of the pure, it is named "deva."  
> In the eighth, first is the essence of merit, which possesses both cause and fruit; in the verse, the first two lines are the cause, and the next line is the fruit. Broad illumination is the function, which the last line of the verse reveals.  
> In the ninth, manifesting the Buddha's body and land, causing capacities to extinguish evil and abide in good. In the verse, first the land is manifested, and then the body.  
> Tenth, clouds of light pervade the world, showering rains of Dharma-jewels, hence the name.  
> In the verses, each of the ten gāthās versifies one dharma, as should be understood as before.
