贊曰:顯能調伏難化功德。如三迦葉謂得道真,一切大眾所不能伏,此諸菩薩皆能調伏。彼既被屈,更無返詰違逆菩薩,是故菩薩得無所畏。舊經云「蓋諸大眾」,即是邪見諸難化者,惡名惡解蓋大眾故,菩薩降之。或謂菩薩智辨兩成,蓋諸大眾,故得無畏。
Commentary: This reveals their virtue of being able to tame those difficult to transform. Just as the three Kāśyapa brothers claimed to have attained the true Path and could not be subdued by the great assembly, all these bodhisattvas are able to tame them. Once they have been subdued, they no longer cross-examine or oppose the bodhisattvas; therefore, the bodhisattvas attain fearlessness. The older translation says 'surpassing the assemblies' [蓋諸大眾], which refers to those difficult to transform who hold wrong views: because their bad reputations and wrong understandings overshadowed the assemblies, the bodhisattvas subdued them. Alternatively, it means that the bodhisattvas have achieved both wisdom and eloquence, surpassing the assemblies, and thus attain fearlessness.
