4.47

問:若爾,此之十德即十號不?答:名殊義合。何者?從如實道故名姓貴,堪應供故所以位高,以遍知故豈非多饒,既具通明即是威勢,善契祕藏由於智深,解三世間必在年宿,士中之上由三業淨,丈夫屈伏乃關禮備,是天人師諸佛方歎。世間之長而為下歸,故此一號亦具九德。

Question: If so, are these ten virtues the same as the ten titles [of a Buddha]? Answer: Their names differ, but their meanings harmonize. Why? Proceeding from the path of true reality, his lineage is therefore called noble; because he is worthy of offerings, his rank is high; because of his universal knowledge, how could he not possess abundant wealth? Since he possesses both superknowledges and clarities, that is his majestic power; because he skillfully accords with the secret treasury, this is due to his profound wisdom; understanding the three worlds must depend upon venerable age; being the foremost among persons is due to the purity of his three karmas; yielding and subduing great persons concerns the completeness of propriety; and being a teacher of gods and humans, all Buddhas then praise him. As an elder of the world, he serves as the refuge for those below; therefore this single title also intrinsically possesses the nine virtues.
