初、分文。大相謂三十二相，小相謂八十種好。皆稱海者，若大若小悉無有邊故，皆是法界全體顯現，故一一相無非法海。據其總讚，諸佛清淨微妙寂滅；以總顯別，一一相好皆祕密藏。大師見彼得意處故，故釋相好皆立海名。

> First, dividing the text. The major marks refer to the thirty-two marks; the minor marks refer to the eighty minor characteristics. They are all called "ocean" because, whether major or minor, all are boundless; they are all full manifestations of the Dharma-realm, and therefore each individual mark is none other than the Dharma ocean. Based on the general praise, all Buddhas are pure, subtle, wondrous, and quiescently ceased; using the general to reveal the specific, each and every mark and characteristic is the secret repository. Because the Great Master grasped that underlying insight, in explaining the marks and characteristics, he established the designation "ocean" for all of them.
