7.23

第三智力勇健盡佛海原名勇猛幢。十偈分二：初七歎佛為修行勝緣、後三顯佛自在之德。前中，初一明佛難見，要具淨信心為因、佛力為緣方得見佛。細色合佛，以難見故。二明見難盡，謂要以普賢猛智方盡原底。三明佛難成，謂要依圓淨心海十地之所出生。四明佛法難遇，得便離垢。五明佛難逢，見能滅惑。六明聞信難成，要由善友。七校量顯勝。若化一人令信入佛，德過上施。下顯佛德中，一德圓、二用廣、三體寂。

Third, because his power of wisdom is courageous and fathoms the source of the Buddha's ocean, he is named Śūradhvaja. The ten verses are divided into two: the first seven praise the Buddha as the superior condition for practice, and the last three reveal the Buddha's virtue of mastery. In the first part, the first [verse] clarifies that the Buddha is difficult to see; one must have a pure mind of faith as the cause and the Buddha's power as the condition before being able to see the Buddha. Subtle form unites with the Buddha because he is difficult to see. Second, it clarifies that seeing him completely is difficult, meaning that one must use the vigorous wisdom of Samantabhadra to exhaust the source and depths. Third, it clarifies that the Buddha is difficult to accomplish, meaning that it must arise from the tenth bhūmi of the ocean of the completely pure mind. Fourth, it clarifies that the Buddha's Dharma is difficult to encounter; attaining it immediately removes defilement. Fifth, it clarifies that the Buddha is difficult to meet; seeing him can eliminate delusions. Sixth, it clarifies that hearing and having faith is difficult to accomplish; it must rely on a good friend. Seventh, comparative measurement reveals superiority: if one transforms one person, causing them to believe and enter the Buddha, the virtue surpasses the offerings above. In revealing the Buddha's virtues below: 1. the virtues are complete, 2. the function is vast, 3. the essence is quiescent.
