第五無盡功德藏迴向。善友名婆須蜜多者,此云世友,亦云天友,隨世人天方便化故。國名險難者,逆行非道,下位不能行故。城名寶莊嚴者,逆隨世行,能生無盡功德藏故。第一依教趣求,中二:先依教成益,謂由聞一切智光故,思修趣入得二種益:一得見實法性益,由前實智故;二「得了知」下得權智益,由前窮三世差別智故。二「漸次」下趣求後位,於中四:一專心尋覓。二「城中」下淺識致疑,逆行難知故。不自疑者,貪順於悲,障行劣故,不同前二。又於前二已調伏故,此中不疑。三「其中有人先知」下深智讚教,先讚、後「善男子婆須」下教示所在。市者喧雜。北主於滅。自宅即畢竟空寂,謂在欲行禪,處喧常寂,故在市𮠔之北等。四「時善財」下依教往詣。

Fifth is the pariṇāmanā of the inexhaustible treasury of merits. The good friend named Vasumitrā is translated here as "friend of the world" or "friend of devas," because she transforms beings in accordance with worldly humans and devas by expedient means. The country named Danger and Difficulty is because contrary practice is not the [ordinary] path, which lower stations cannot practice. The city named Jewel Adornment is because by contrarily according with worldly actions, she can produce the inexhaustible treasury of merits. First is proceeding to seek in accordance with instructions, which has two [parts]: first, accomplishing benefit in accordance with instructions, which means that through hearing the radiance of all-knowledge, by contemplating and cultivating to enter into it, he attains two kinds of benefit: (1) the benefit of seeing the true dharmatā, due to the aforementioned true wisdom; (2) from "attained the understanding" downward, he attains the benefit of provisional wisdom, due to the aforementioned differentiating wisdom that exhausts the three times. Second, from "gradually" downward he proceeds to seek the subsequent station, within which there are four: (1) wholeheartedly searching. (2) From "In the city" downward, those of shallow understanding give rise to doubts, because contrary practice is difficult to comprehend. The reason [Sudhana] himself does not doubt is that lust accords with compassion, and its obstruction to practice is weak, unlike the previous two [defilements]. Furthermore, because he had already subdued them in the previous two [stations], he does not doubt here. (3) From "Among them were people who previously knew" downward, those of deep wisdom praise and instruct, first praising, and afterward, from "Good son, Vasumitrā" downward, instructing on her location. A marketplace is noisy and bustling. The north governs extinction. Her own dwelling is ultimate emptiness and quiescence, meaning that she practices dhyāna while in desire, remaining constantly quiescent while abiding in noise; hence she is to the north of the marketplace, and so forth. (4) From "At that time Sudhana" downward, he goes there in accordance with instructions.
