13.7

二「諸佛子此」下彰娑婆隣近十方,亦為十段。密訓唯九者,勘晉經開曉意下闕一聞慧。南方唯二,舊經則具,乃是新本脫漏。準前後例,不應獨此便略。西北方名有十一者,獨此有餘,不成文體。此中專念法,應即是前所脫聞慧,亦是梵本之漏,注者誤安貝葉耳。下方云帝釋弓者,如來念定之弓,以明利箭能射業惑阿修羅故。然舊云法命主意,取帝釋以法教命為天主故。今云其弓,但一事耳。若作宮室字,以處取人,大同晉本。

Second, from "Bodhisattvas, this" onward, revealing the ten directions adjacent to Sahā, which also comprise ten sections. The fact that Secret Instruction has only nine is because collation with the Jin translation reveals that under "enlightening the mind", one [instance of] "wisdom from hearing" is missing. The southern direction has only two; the old sūtra is complete, which is an omission in the new version. In accordance with the preceding and following precedents, this one alone should not be abbreviated. That the names in the northwestern direction are eleven is an excess unique to this place, not forming proper literary structure. Here, "Devoted Recollection of Dharma" should be the previously omitted "wisdom from hearing"; this is also an omission in the Sanskrit manuscript, where a commentator mistakenly placed a palm leaf. Below it says "Śakra's Bow": this is the Tathāgata's bow of mindfulness and samādhi, which with bright and sharp arrows can shoot the asuras of karma and affliction. However, the old [translation] says "Master of the Dharma Mandate", taking the meaning that Śakra commands with the teaching of Dharma as master of devas. Now saying "his bow" is merely a single matter. If it were the character for "palace", taking the person by the place, it would largely agree with the Jin translation.
