第四賢勝優婆夷,幻智無依善友。初二可知。三「賢勝答」下授己法門,中二:初得解脫、後得三昧。今初,直就經文,內外無依即是道場。賢首云:「梵名那阿賴耶曼茶羅。那者,此云無也、不也。阿賴耶,云依處也、依止也。曼茶羅,云道場也、圓場也。謂無阿賴耶染分依處,而有淨分圓場,出生勝德不可窮盡,即轉依究竟,顯德無盡故也。」下二句即二利之用。後得三昧,先名、後「非彼」下用,即為釋名。於中,初揀濫;後「以能」下顯是,謂體則雙超盡及無盡,但從用出生說無盡耳。然則二門相成無依道場即空如來藏,無盡三昧即是不空。要心無依、契於本空,方見不空具性功德,故云出生。智性眼等息妄顯出,故曰出生。出非本無,猶稱智性。指後云沃田者,是南天竺近水沃潤故,顯無念定水能滋長故。長者名堅固解脫者,無著清淨,惑不能壞,即解脫故。
Fourth, regarding the laywoman Bhadrottamā, the good friend of illusory wisdom without reliance: the first two parts are readily understood. Third, from “Bhadrottamā replied” onwards, conferring her teaching has two parts: first, attaining liberation, and second, attaining samādhi. Now first, directly taking the sūtra text, freedom from reliance internally and externally is itself the bodhimaṇḍa. Xianshou says: “The Sanskrit name is Anālayamaṇḍala. An means 'without' or 'not'. Ālaya means 'place of reliance' or 'basis'. Maṇḍala means 'bodhimaṇḍa' or 'circular enclosure'. It means that there is no place of reliance on the defiled aspect of the ālaya, but there is the circular enclosure of the pure aspect, giving rise to superior virtues that can never be exhausted; this is the ultimate transformation of the basis, manifesting inexhaustible virtues.” The next two lines are the functions of benefiting self and other. Second, attaining samādhi: first the name, and then from “not those...” onwards the function, which explains the name. Within this, first it eliminates confusions; then from “because it can...” onwards it reveals what is correct, meaning that in essence it transcends both exhaustible and inexhaustible, but from its function of giving rise it is spoken of as inexhaustible. Thus the two gates complement each other: the bodhimaṇḍa without reliance is the empty tathāgatagarbha, and the inexhaustible samādhi is the non-empty. Only when the mind is without reliance and tallies with fundamental emptiness can one see that the non-empty possesses inherent virtues; hence it says 'gives rise'. When the eye and others of the nature of wisdom cease delusion, they manifest; hence it says 'gives rise'. Arising does not mean it was originally absent; it is still called the nature of wisdom. Directing him to the next, mentioning 'fertile field' (Rūpavān/Uruvelā): this is because southern India near water is moist and fertile, revealing that the concentration water of non-thought can nourish and grow. The elder is named Muktasāra (Firm Liberation); unattached purity cannot be destroyed by afflictions, which is liberation.
