疏「十行等末類有此偈」者,上以義破,此以文破。彼非經終而有此偈,故今此偈非是一部用為流通,但當會當品流通意耳。言「十行末偈」者,偈云「菩薩功德無有邊,一切修行皆具足。假使無量無邊佛,於無量劫說不盡。何況世間天及人,一切聲聞及緣覺,能於無量無邊劫,讚歎稱揚得究竟。」釋曰:〈法界〉偈末結佛德無盡,此結十行菩薩之德不可盡耳。而言十行等者,等取十向、十地。十向末云「一切眾生由可數,三世心量亦可知,如是普賢諸佛子,功德邊際無能測。一毛度空可得邊,眾剎為塵可知數,如是大仙諸佛子,所住行願無能量。」此結迴向行願無盡。十地末云「十方國土碎為塵,可於一念知其數,豪末度空可知量,億劫說此不可盡。」而言此者,明此上十地德無盡耳。是知位位品品德德之末皆結無盡,故非一部之流通也。

Regarding the Commentary's statement, 'At the end of the Ten Practices and other [sections], there are similar verses': The above refuted it through meaning; this refutes it through the text. Those [verses] occur without it being the end of the sūtra; thus, this present verse is not used as the transmission [section] for the entire work, but merely intends the transmission for that particular assembly and chapter. As for 'the verses at the end of the Ten Practices,' the verses say: 'The bodhisattvas' virtues are boundless; / they are fully endowed with all practices. / Even if immeasurable and boundless Buddhas / were to expound them for immeasurable kalpas, they could not exhaust them. / How much less could worldly gods and humans, / and all the śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas, / throughout immeasurable and boundless kalpas, / praise and extol them to the utmost?' The explanation states: The verses at the end of the [Chapter on the] Dharmadhātu conclude with the inexhaustibility of the Buddha's virtues, whereas this concludes that the virtues of the bodhisattvas of the Ten Practices cannot be exhausted. As for saying 'Ten Practices and others,' 'and others' encompasses the Ten Dedications and the Ten Grounds. The end of the Ten Dedications says: 'All sentient beings might still be counted, / and the mental measures of the three periods might also be known, / but the boundary of the virtues of such sons of the Buddha [who emulate] Samantabhadra / cannot be measured by anyone. / If one were to cross empty space with a single hair-tip, one might find an end, / and lands [pulled to] dust may have their count known; / but the practices and vows wherein these sons of the Great Sage dwell / are beyond all measure.' This concludes with the inexhaustibility of the practices and vows of pariṇāmanā. The end of the Ten Grounds says: 'The lands of the ten directions ground into dust / may have their number known in a single thought; / crossing empty space with a hair-tip, its measure might be known; / yet expounding this for billions of kalpas, it could not be exhausted.' As for saying 'this,' it clarifies that the virtues of the Ten Grounds above are inexhaustible. From this we know that at the end of each stage, chapter, and virtue, all conclude with inexhaustibility; hence, it is not the transmission [section] of the entire work.
