9.156

肇曰:開四門恣求者所取,無礙大施法也。此施相好之所因。別本云「行無閡施」,什曰:或施心足而財少、或財足施心少,二事不具則不能應無方之求。今二事兼具,故能無所齊限,恣物所求焉。

[Seng]zhao says: Opening the four gates and allowing those who seek to take freely is the method of unobstructed great giving. This giving is the cause for the major and minor marks. Another recension reads 'practicing unobstructed giving'. [Kumāra]jīva says: Sometimes the intention to give is sufficient but wealth is scarce; sometimes wealth is sufficient but the intention to give is lacking. When these two things are not complete, one cannot respond to boundless seeking. Here, both are fully present, so one can have no limit, letting beings take as they wish.
