經曰「第一大神名曰」以下,第五別明,五故為五段。是初也。內持戒故由七支,外雨七寶也。第二內修定故,由水生德華。第三內修慧蘊故,由慧說法利物除無明嗅,外雨香之。七迊者,表除七漏,七漏如《涅槃經》說,謂見念等也。第四內修解脫故,由勝解喜樂令離憂苦,外雨如意珠。菩提意者,求菩提人也。第五內修解脫智見故,由智水故,外生正覺華也。或云由五戒故,所顯五神也。

Where the sūtra states, "The first great spirit was named," onward: fifth [error for second], this explains them individually; because there are five, it constitutes five sections. This is the first. Because internally one upholds morality through the seven limbs [of bodily and vocal karma], externally it rains the seven treasures. Second, because internally one cultivates samādhi, virtuous flowers grow from the water. Third, because internally one cultivates the aggregate of wisdom, by means of wisdom one expounds the Dharma to benefit beings and remove the stench of ignorance, and externally it rains fragrance. "Seven circuits" signifies eliminating the seven outflows; the seven outflows are as explained in the Nirvāṇa Sūtra, referring to view, mindfulness, and so forth. Fourth, because internally one cultivates liberation, through superior resolve, joy, and bliss, one causes beings to abandon sorrow and suffering, and externally it rains cintāmaṇi gems. "Those with bodhi-intent" refers to persons seeking bodhi. Fifth, because internally one cultivates the knowledge and vision of liberation, by means of the water of wisdom, the flowers of correct awakening are generated externally. Alternatively, it is said that the five spirits are manifested due to the five precepts.
