第四無屈撓行。疏「撓者曲也弱也」者，即《周易．大過卦》意。《易》云「大過，棟撓，利有攸往，亨。」彖曰「大過，大者過也。棟撓，本末弱也。」釋曰：大過，兌上巽下，上下皆陰，故云本末弱也。《易》文以弱釋撓。《音義》云「撓者曲也。」曲之與弱義相似也，今取弱義釋無屈撓，則屈者亦曲也。既曰牢強，則無屈弱。然梵云鉢履耶捺多，此云無盡，即晉經之名，謂大願之力無有盡耳。此亦大同。

The fourth is the practice of non-bending and non-flinching (無屈撓). Regarding the commentary's gloss "*nao* (撓) means bent and weak": this is the meaning of the Daguo hexagram in the *Zhouyi*. The *Changes* states: "Daguo (Great Excess): the ridgepole bends (棟撓). It is advantageous to have somewhere to go. Success." The Commentary on the Decision states: "Daguo: the great exceeds. The ridgepole bends: root and branch are weak." Explanation: In Daguo, Dui is above and Xun is below; top and bottom are both yin, hence it is said that root and branch are weak. The text of the *Changes* explains *nao* (bending) by weakness. The *Yinyi* says: "*Nao* means bent." Bent and weak have similar meanings. Now taking the meaning of weakness to explain non-bending/flinching, then *qu* (屈) also means bent. Since it is called firm and strong, there is no bending or weakness. However, the Sanskrit says *paryāntaka* (鉢履耶捺多), which is translated here as "inexhaustible," namely the name in the Jin translation of the sūtra, meaning that the power of the great vow has no end. This is also largely the same.
