11.31

第七等隨順一切眾生迴向，以鳩槃茶王主之，明此位菩薩成大悲遍入諸道乘慈利生。此是厭媚鬼神，噉食精氣，亦名冬瓜鬼，依《正法念經》說其名字。如是惡眾生，菩薩亦皆隨順，是故名等隨順一切眾生迴向。乃至地獄悉皆遍入。此神是南方天王，領二部眾：一鳩槃茶、二薜荔鬼。此鳩槃茶，陰囊大如冬瓜，若行乃擎置肩上，坐時而踞之而坐。〈法界品〉云「常勤除滅諸餓鬼趣」。鳩槃茶王，明愛染貪求猶如餓鬼。大悲菩薩盡與隨行，斷一切貪求故。

Seventh, the dedication of merit by equally following all sentient beings is governed by the Kumbhāṇḍa King, illustrating that a bodhisattva of this stage perfects great compassion, universally enters all destinies, and avails himself of loving-kindness to benefit living beings. These are ogres and spirits of sorcery that consume vital energy, also called "winter melon ghosts," whose name is stated according to the Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna Sūtra. A bodhisattva equally follows even such evil sentient beings, and hence it is called the dedication of merit by equally following all sentient beings. He universally enters them even down to the hells. This deity is the southern celestial king, who governs two classes of followers: first, the kumbhāṇḍas; second, the preta ghosts. These kumbhāṇḍas have scrota as large as winter melons; when walking, they carry them on their shoulders, and when sitting, they squat upon them. The "Chapter on the Dharmadhātu" says: "They constantly and diligently eliminate all destinies of hungry ghosts." The Kumbhāṇḍa King illustrates that emotional attachment and greedy seeking are just like [the state of] hungry ghosts. The bodhisattva of great compassion completely follows them in their actions in order to sever all greedy seeking.
