4.290

什曰:無作,不作受生行也。無作則絕於受生,故誨令為示現而起無作也。肇曰:作,謂造作生死也。為彼受生者,非作生而受生也。是以大士受生,常起無作。

[Kumāra]jīva says: Aimlessness means not engaging in actions that bring about taking birth. Aimlessness cuts off taking birth; hence he instructs them to give rise to aimlessness for the sake of manifesting [birth]. [Seng]zhao says: "Aiming" means fabricating saṃsāra. Taking birth for the sake of others is not taking birth through fabricated birth. Therefore, when the mahāsattva takes birth, he constantly gives rise to aimlessness.
