2.72

贊曰:招諸眾生,勸之修善,名常舉手。授與善法,名常下手。引頸望眾生,常希拔濟,名常延頸。舊云「常慘」,悲慘拔濟義,菩薩無憂故非慘也。六根暫觀一眾生時,一一根門皆生歡喜,如父見子,名常喜根。若見眾生,含咲先云,常起大喜,如王自在,名喜王。言詞難伏,名無屈辨。舊云「辨音」,此義便爽。

Commentary: Beckoning sentient beings and encouraging them to cultivate good is called 'Constantly Raised Hand' (Nityodyatahasta). Bestowing wholesome dharmas is called 'Constantly Lowered Hand' (Nityāvanatahasta). Craning one's neck looking toward sentient beings, constantly yearning to pull them out and rescue them, is called 'Constantly Craning the Neck' (Nityotkṣiptagrīva). The old translation called him 'Constantly Mournful' (Nityaglāna), taking the sense of sorrowfully pulling them out and rescuing them; but Bodhisattvas are free from grief, so he is not mournful. When the six sense faculties briefly look at a single sentient being, joy arises in every single sense faculty's gateway, like a father seeing his child; this is called 'Constantly Joyful Sense-Faculties' (Nitya-pramudita-indriya). If he sees sentient beings, smiling before speaking, constantly giving rise to great joy, sovereign like a king, he is called 'King of Joy' (Pramodyarāja). Words difficult to overcome are called 'Insubdueable Eloquence' (Akṣubhita-pratibhāna). The old translation said 'Eloquent Sound'; this completely lost the meaning.
