第六「佛子此菩薩得如是三昧」已下一段有十一行經，以滅定方便起十種示現，出過於世，不捨樂法之心分。如經云「雖隨順佛智，而示現入聲聞辟支佛地」者，明二乘人得果之後，厭患其所受父母分段胎生之身，自化其火自焚其身，入變易生死身。餘如文自明。下文天者，已上欲界、色界、無色界天。龍者，是世間諸龍。夜叉者，此云苦活，或曰祠察，或云捷疾。乾闥婆者，此曰食香，或曰尋香神，設樂求食。阿修羅者，此是天趣所攝，此云無天妙樂。迦樓羅者，此云悲苦聲，以食龍在嗉中由活，有悲苦聲。亦為寶翅鳥。緊那羅者，此曰疑神，頭上有角人見生疑，為人耶？為非人耶？摩睺羅者，此云胸腹行，此是諸畜，是同龍輩。古云大蟒神。人及非人，非人是鬼類。帝釋，此云能主。梵天王，是初禪王。梵者淨也，以過欲界，名為淨王。明此位菩薩能遍同其類，引之修學菩提福智而無樂著故，云不捨樂法之心。餘如文自具。又明自忻後地未滿，須當勤心樂法也。

Sixth, the section from "O sons of the Buddha, when this bodhisattva attains such samādhis" onward has eleven lines of the sūtra, explaining the part where, through the expedient means of the concentration of cessation, they give rise to ten kinds of manifestations, transcend the world, and do not abandon the mind that delights in the Dharma. As the sūtra says: "Although according with the Buddha's wisdom, they manifest entry into the grounds of the śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas," this explains that when beings of the two vehicles attain the fruit, loathing the body of sectional birth born from the wombs of parents that they have received, they spontaneously manifest fire to cremate their own bodies and enter bodies of transformational birth-and-death. The rest is clear in the text itself. Below, "devas" refers to the devas of the desire realm, form realm, and formless realm above. "Nāgas" refers to the various worldly nāgas. "Yakṣas" are translated here as "harsh livelihood," or as "sacrificial inspectors," or as "swift ones." "Gandharvas" are translated here as "fragrance eaters" or as "spirits who seek fragrance," who perform music in search of food. "Asuras" are included in the heavenly destiny, and are translated here as "lacking heavenly wondrous pleasure." "Garuḍas" are translated here as "wailing cry," because when they eat nāgas, the nāgas remain alive in their crops and make wailing cries; they are also called "jewel-winged birds." "Kiṃnaras" are translated here as "doubtful spirits"; having horns on their heads, those who see them conceive doubt: "Are they human? Or are they non-human?" "Mahoragas" are translated here as "crawlers on the belly"; these are animal types, of the same category as nāgas; formerly they were called "great serpent spirits." "Humans and non-humans": "non-humans" refers to the class of ghosts. "Śakra" is translated here as "capable master." "Brahmā King" is the king of the first dhyāna. "Brahma" means pure; because he transcends the desire realm, he is called the "Pure King." This clarifies that the bodhisattva of this stage can universally identify with their types, guiding them to cultivate and learn the merit and wisdom of bodhi without delightful attachment; hence it is said that they "do not abandon the mind that delights in the Dharma." The rest is fully present in the text itself. It also clarifies that because they themselves rejoice that the subsequent grounds are not yet complete, they must diligently delight in the Dharma with their whole mind.
