「名稱高遠逾於須彌」,三結成,為二:一結外、二結內。初二句結外無畏者,菩薩外化遍十方十界名為高遠。又解,通別教佛如須彌山,今圓教金剛心高兩教佛,故言逾於須彌。又須彌盤固高遠,如法性不動理高。無上智有顯理之功,故言逾於須彌也。

"Their fame is high and far-reaching, surpassing Mount Sumeru": the third part concludes [the explanation of fearlessness], which has two parts: first, concluding the external [fearlessness]; second, concluding the internal [fearlessness]. The first two clauses conclude the external fearlessness: the bodhisattvas' external transformation of others pervades the ten directions and the ten realms, hence it is termed "high and far-reaching." Another explanation is that the buddhas of the Shared and Separate Teachings are like Mount Sumeru; here, the vajra-mind of the Perfect Teaching is higher than the buddhas of those two teachings, and so it says "surpassing Mount Sumeru." Furthermore, Mount Sumeru is solidly rooted, high, and far-reaching, just as the Dharma-nature is unmoving and its principle is exalted. Supreme wisdom has the efficacy to reveal this principle, and so it says "surpassing Mount Sumeru."
