「所以」下,二、述不堪之由。由不識魔作帝釋來。文為五:一住於靜室、二魔作釋來、三魔來不識、四魔更施女、五嫌怪不受。初文者,持世住靜避喧入禪進行。其是法身大士,豈須生身入道?迹同方便為物之軌,應須引進,故住靜室示修禪定。
From "Why?" downward is, second, recounting the reason for being unworthy. The reason was his failure to recognize that the māra came disguised as Śakra. The text has five parts: first, residing in a quiet room; second, the māra coming disguised as Śakra; third, the māra coming and not being recognized; fourth, the māra furthermore offering women; fifth, showing disgust and suspicion and not accepting. As for the first passage: Jagatīṃdhara resided in quietude to avoid clamour and entered dhyāna to advance his practice. He is a mahāsattva of the dharmakāya; how would he need a birth body to enter the path? His trace conformed to expedient means as a model for beings; it was necessary to guide and advance [them], so he resided in a quiet room and manifested the cultivation of dhyāna-concentration.
