第三會昇須彌山頂帝釋宮者，明從普光明殿中說十信之位，於其地上創起信心。今於帝釋天宮，表其進修之位法行增勝故。於此天說十住之門，明十住之位創始應真，心與空合，一分自得慧用，自在如天故。如上高山，身與空合，以處表法位勝，不即要在生天。明無相慧用，如天自在故。又明山體，於世間中出高過俗，表於十住初心，禪定如山不動，無相妙慧出俗，現前能破障故。

The third assembly ascends to the summit of Mount Sumeru to the palace of Śakra: this clarifies that from the explanation of the stages of the ten faiths in the Hall of Universal Light, faith is initially aroused upon that ground. Now, in Śakra's heavenly palace, it indicates the superiority of the Dharma practices in the stages of advancement. In this heaven he explains the gateway of the ten abodes, clarifying that the stages of the ten abodes initially correspond with reality, the mind merges with emptiness, and one partly attains the function of wisdom on one's own, possessing mastery like a deva. It is like ascending a high mountain where the body merges with the sky: using the place to symbolize the superiority of the Dharma stage does not necessarily require being born in heaven. It clarifies that the signless function of wisdom is sovereign like a deva. Furthermore, it clarifies that the body of the mountain rises high above the mundane in the worldly realm, symbolizing that in the initial mind of the ten abodes, meditative concentration is motionless like a mountain, and signless wondrous wisdom transcends the mundane, being directly present and able to destroy obstacles.
