第十八足有十三相，通分為七：初足下一相，略無左右，而晉經足趺之後別有足下千輻輪相，此必合有，故後品明足下輪相名普照王。今經千輪之言乃在指間，或以常明，易知指間有異，故舉之耳。名安住者，以足下安平，一切著地，不容針故。二足上、三足指間、四足跟、五足趺、六足四周，因陀羅尼羅者，此云帝青。七足指端，上六各左右為二，文顯可知。上來略列九十七相，次第數名譯者安置，既不說盡，豈不盈百？足下闕一，脣齶不開；設合此二，六根皆辨耳，何獨闕如？若加兩耳及足下一，則圓百數以顯無盡，豈不妙哉！況此中所列，於三十二尚有未盡，豈普賢力不及百耶？晉經有遺但九十四，亦無次第之數，故知九十七數不在生情配屬諸法。

> Eighteenth, the feet have thirteen marks, which are comprehensively divided into seven: First, one mark on the soles of the feet, which briefly omits left and right; however, the Jin translation, after the insteps, has separately the mark of the thousand-spoked wheel on the soles of the feet. This must properly be present, for a later chapter explains that the wheel mark under the feet is named King of Universal Illumination. In the present sūtra, the mention of the thousand wheels is rather between the toes; perhaps because they are perpetually bright, it is easy to know that between the toes there is something extraordinary, and thus it was simply mentioned. The one named 'securely resting' is because the soles of the feet are flat and even, completely touching the ground without admitting even a needle. Second, on top of the feet; third, between the toes; fourth, the heels; fifth, the insteps; sixth, the perimeter of the feet—'indranīla' translates here as 'imperial blue'; seventh, the tips of the toes. The preceding six \[items\] each have two, for left and right; the text is evident and can be known. The above briefly lists ninety-seven marks. The sequential numbering and names were arranged by the translators. Since it does not state them exhaustively, how could they not exceed one hundred? One is missing under the feet, and the lips and palate are not differentiated; suppose one combines these two, the six sense faculties would all be accounted for except the ears—why should they alone be missing? If one adds the two ears and the one under the feet, it would round out the number to one hundred to manifest inexhaustibility—how wondrous would that not be! Furthermore, regarding what is listed here, even among the thirty-two \[marks\] some are not yet exhausted; could the power of Samantabhadra fail to reach one hundred? The Jin translation had omissions, having only ninety-four, and also lacked sequential numbers; thus we know that the number ninety-seven does not consist in arbitrary mental contrivance matching them to phenomena.
