「迦葉白」下大段第三，却答向前第二番難明慈實益。於中先明慈有實益，「夫無量者不可思」下就實嘆勝。前中有三：一明菩薩慈有實益、二「我說是慈有無量」下明佛慈實益、三「以是義故菩薩修慈即是實」下結以顯實。初中迦葉重難起發，難辭同上，初言「菩薩所有是實，聲聞、緣覺非真實」者牒佛前言，下就設難，「一切眾生何故不以菩薩威力等受快樂」以實徵益。「若一切生不得樂」下以無利益難破慈實。

From "Kāśyapa addressed [the Buddha]" onward is the third major section, which turns back to answer the earlier second round of objections and explains that benevolence has real benefit. Within this, it first explains that benevolence has real benefit; from "One that is immeasurable is inconceivable" onward, it praises its supremacy in terms of reality. The earlier [part] contains three: first, it explains that the bodhisattva's benevolence has real benefit; second, from "I say that this benevolence has immeasurable..." onward, it explains that the Buddha's benevolence has real benefit; third, from "For this reason, the bodhisattva's cultivation of benevolence is indeed real" onward, it concludes so as to reveal reality. In the first [part], Kāśyapa raises the challenge again, the wording of which is as above: first, "What the bodhisattva has is real, whereas what the śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas [have] is not real" repeats the Buddha's previous words; below, posing an objection, "Why do not all sentient beings, through the bodhisattva's transcendent power and so forth, experience joy?" queries the benefit on the basis of reality. From "If all beings do not obtain joy" onward, he refutes the reality of benevolence by challenging it with the absence of benefit.
