35.27

二十三我唯知此一般若波羅蜜三昧光明，推德於先，令善財昇進。善財以如上十法觀察海幢比丘，又住立思惟觀察經一日一夜者，明檀波羅蜜。七日七夜者，明七支戒。半月者，忍波羅蜜。以明忍但自益，不益於人故，半月表之。一月者，以明精進自利利他故，一月表之。六月者，第六住也。復經六日者，是第六波羅蜜故。以為海幢比丘是十住中第六正心住，修般若波羅蜜智慧日故，故云六月是第六正心住，六日是第六波羅蜜智慧日故。此是十住中第六正心住，般若波羅蜜為主，餘九為伴。以約智門中，諸位通治；以約位門中；第六波羅蜜偏治世間出世間寂用不自在障，得寂用神通自在門。猶出世慈悲心多，入俗常住世間慈悲猶劣故，以海幢比丘表之，雖有慈悲，但得無染行清淨之慈，不得同眾生行等眾生事一無有違。方便取一切眾生故，即以後位俗士休捨優婆夷其行，明處真不證知真行俗。

Twenty-third, with 'I only know this radiance of the samādhi of the prajñāpāramitā,' he attributes virtue to those ahead to cause Sudhana to ascend and advance. Sudhana observes the bhikṣu Sāgaradhvaja through the ten dharmas above; furthermore, that he stands and ponders, observing for one day and one night, clarifies the dāna-pāramitā. Seven days and seven nights clarifies the seven branches of morality. Half a month clarifies the kṣānti-pāramitā; because patience benefits only oneself and does not benefit others, half a month symbolizes it. One month clarifies that vīrya benefits both oneself and others; hence one month symbolizes it. Six months represents the sixth abode. Furthermore, passing six days represents the sixth pāramitā, because the bhikṣu Sāgaradhvaja corresponds to the sixth Abode of the Upright Mind among the ten abodes, practicing the sun of wisdom of the prajñāpāramitā; hence six months represents the sixth Abode of the Upright Mind, and six days represents the sun of wisdom of the sixth pāramitā. This is the sixth Abode of the Upright Mind among the ten abodes, where the prajñāpāramitā is primary and the other nine are companions. In terms of wisdom, all stages generally cure afflictions; in terms of stages, the sixth pāramitā specifically cures the obstruction of lack of freedom in worldly and supramundane stillness and function, attaining the gate of sovereign supernormal powers of stillness and function. Because the supramundane compassionate mind is still predominant while the compassion that enters the secular world to abide constantly in the world is still inferior, it is symbolized by the bhikṣu Sāgaradhvaja: although he has compassion, he has only attained untainted compassion of pure practice, and cannot yet act identically with sentient beings in all matters of sentient beings without any discord. In order to gather all sentient beings through skillful means, the practice of the secular laywoman Āśā (Xiushe) Upāsikā in the next stage follows, clarifying dwelling in the true without realizing it as ultimate, knowing the true while practicing in the secular.
