第二推德昇進前位中，「如諸菩薩摩訶薩」已下至「辭退而行」有十六行半經，於中文義約分為五門：一推德於先令其勝進、二示善知識處名為海潮、三示其國土名那羅素、四舉善知識名號、五頂禮流淚辭退而行。此流淚者，表大悲弘深。又敬法貴入，情至厚重。又表智悲自在，垂悲俗流傷嗟苦趣，聖心廣濟悲嘆難勝。此南方有海潮處者，與前位同名海潮處者，表悲智同會，以將前位慈悲之門昇進會於智體，以將第八願波羅蜜發起智業會其悲門。智若不發興大願行悲，趣寂無由起用。是故十地中至此第八地位，諸佛三加七勸，令念本願，方能生大慈悲。是故二位同名海潮，明第八願波羅蜜會其悲智一體，方得無功大用行，廣利而無思，猶如海潮汎洪波而不作，像此位菩薩以無功智化諸群品，知根而不失時也，是故二位同名海潮，此會智悲不二。國名那羅素者，此云不嬾惰。為第八住入無功之智，稱本智遍周利生無懈，無疲勞嬾惰之心。此位是十地中八地之樣，從此而起初跡，至第八地中方與本樣會同。此中一分相應十地中第八地，大用一體無功智周佛地方滿，至〈如來出現品〉是其滿處。以〈法界品〉為源始，根本智恒爾無功大用故。以初發大菩提心者，元依法界普光明智體，發心功熟即是本來法界，但約智悲生熟廣狹上明位次第。仙人名毘目瞿沙者，此云出聲可畏，為智目增明，善摧邪論，出言契當，異論息心故，名出聲可畏。善財悲泣流淚思惟有十難事，如經具明。

Second, within deferring virtue to advance to the next stage, from "Like all bodhisattva-mahāsattvas..." down to "bid farewell and departed," there are sixteen and a half lines of sūtra text, whose meaning is broadly divided into five gates: 1. deferring virtue to the next to cause him to advance; 2. indicating the kalyāṇamitra's place named Ocean Tide; 3. indicating his country named Nālīkera; 4. mentioning the kalyāṇamitra's name; 5. bowing with the head, weeping tears, bidding farewell and departing. Weeping tears here symbolizes that great compassion is vast and profound. Furthermore, it shows reverence for the Dharma and valuing entry into it, with feelings reaching the utmost depth. It also symbolizes sovereignty in wisdom and compassion: condescending with compassion to the mundane flow and lamenting the painful destinies, the holy mind broadly rescues while sorrowing over what is difficult to overcome. This place of the Ocean Tide in the south having the same name, Ocean Tide, as the previous stage symbolizes the joint convergence of compassion and wisdom: advancing the gate of loving-kindness and compassion of the previous stage to merge with the essence of wisdom, and using the eighth, the praṇidhāna-pāramitā, to initiate the activities of wisdom and merge them with its compassionate gate. If wisdom does not initiate and raise great vows to practice compassion, inclined toward tranquility, it has no way to give rise to functioning. For this reason, when reaching this eighth stage in the ten grounds, the Buddhas offer three empowerment additions and seven admonitions, urging mindfulness of the original vow so that great compassion can be produced. Therefore the two stages share the name Ocean Tide, clarifying that the eighth, the praṇidhāna-pāramitā, merges its compassion and wisdom into one essence; only then does one attain effortless, great, active practice, broadly benefiting without discursive thought, just as the ocean tide rolls in vast waves without deliberate action. This resembles the bodhisattva of this stage using effortless wisdom to transform all classes of beings, knowing their capacities without missing the proper time. Therefore both stages are named Ocean Tide, which unites wisdom and compassion as non-dual. The country being named Nālīkera translates here as 'not indolent.' Because the eighth abode enters effortless wisdom, according with fundamental wisdom to benefit beings everywhere without negligence, without a mind of fatigue or indolence. This stage is the model of the eighth of the ten grounds; from here the initial traces arise, and upon reaching the eighth ground it merges with the original model. Here, one portion corresponds to the eighth of the ten grounds; when the great function is of one essence and effortless wisdom pervades, it is perfected only at the Buddha stage, reaching fulfillment at the 'Chapter on the Manifestation of the Tathāgata.' Taking the 'Dharmadhātu Chapter' as the source and origin, fundamental wisdom is eternally effortless with vast functioning. Because those who initially generate the great bodhi mind originally rely on the essence of the dharmadhātu's universally illuminating wisdom, when the practice of generating the mind matures, it is identical to the original dharmadhātu; the sequence of stages is explained merely in terms of the raw, mature, broad, and narrow degrees of wisdom and compassion. The ṛṣi named Bhīṣmottaranirghoṣa translates here as 'Terrifying Sound,' because the eye of wisdom becomes increasingly bright, expertly destroying heterodox doctrines, and when his words are uttered they hit the mark, causing diverging doctrines to cease their thinking; hence he is named Terrifying Sound. Sudhana weeping and shedding tears contemplates ten difficult things, as the sūtra explains in detail.
