24.7

二「何等」下徵名列異。藏如前解。信等對藏,皆持業釋。心淨名信,制止名戒。崇重賢善為慚,輕拒暴惡為愧。餐教廣轉為聞,輟己惠人為施。決擇諸法名慧,令心明記為念。任持所記為持,巧宣所持為辯。各有業用。然念慧及信慚愧等五皆當體為性,餘五行用立名。此約隨相。若就融通,皆順法界之行,良以法界性自清淨離過等故。隨義說十,然約隨相,前九自利、後一利他;通皆具二,信為行本故首明之。依信離過,慚愧莊嚴戒行光潔,上三離過之行。餘皆進善,進善之首必藉多聞,如聞而行唯福與慧,念使增明,持令經久,辯以利他故。前七即七聖財,慧為正導,故終辨之;次二守護;後一積而能散。

Second, from "What are [they]?" onward, the names are questioned and the distinctions enumerated. "Storehouse" is understood as explained previously. Faith and so forth paired with "storehouse" are all karmadhāraya compounds. Purity of mind is called faith; restraining and halting is called discipline. Venerating the worthy and good is shame (hrī); treating with disdain and rejecting violence and evil is modesty (apatrāpya). Taking in the teachings and widely revolving them is learning; giving up what is one's own to bestow it upon others is giving. Discerning phenomena is called wisdom; causing the mind clearly to remember is mindfulness. Holding fast to what is remembered is retention (dhāraṇā); skillfully expounding what is retained is eloquence (pratibhāna). Each has its function. However, the five consisting of mindfulness, wisdom, faith, shame, and modesty have their intrinsic essence as nature, whereas the other five establish their names from activity and function. This is according to distinguishing their marks. If considered in terms of interpenetration, they are all practices that accord with the dharmadhātu, precisely because the nature of the dharmadhātu is inherently pure, free from faults, and so forth. In accordance with their meanings, ten are spoken of. However, according to distinguishing their marks, the first nine are for one's own benefit, and the final one is for benefiting others; in a comprehensive sense, each possesses both. Faith is the root of practice, and therefore it is explained first. Relying on faith, one leaves faults behind; shame and modesty adorn it, making the practice of discipline bright and spotless—these three are practices of leaving faults behind. The remainder all advance goodness. The foremost of advancing goodness must rely on extensive learning; practicing in accordance with what is heard consists solely of merit and wisdom; mindfulness causes them to become increasingly clear; retention causes them to endure long; and eloquence is used to benefit others. The first seven are the seven noble treasures; wisdom serves as the correct guide, and hence it is distinguished last among them; the next two guard and protect them; the final one accumulates and yet is able to disperse.
