8.113

自下第五如來讚問,於中有三:一佛嘆師子具二莊嚴,能知能問;二師子言「云何慧」下辯二嚴相;三師子言「若有二嚴,不應問」下辯所問法。就初段中,「善哉」總嘆,「若人」下別。別中,初明為法諮啟必具二嚴,次列兩名,下嘆其能。具二嚴者,能知向前所問八義。

From here below is the fifth [section]: the Tathāgata praising the questions. In this there are three [parts]: first, the Buddha praises Siṃha for possessing the two adornments and being able to know and ask; second, from Siṃha's words "What is wisdom..." onward, it explains the marks of the two adornments; third, from Siṃha's words "If one has the two adornments, one should not ask..." onward, it explains the dharmas that were asked about. Within the first section: "Excellent!" praises generally; from "If a person..." onward, it praises specifically. Within the specific [part], first it clarifies that in consulting and asking for the sake of the Dharma one must possess the two adornments; next it lists the two names; and below it praises his ability. One who possesses the two adornments is able to know the eight meanings asked about earlier.
