3.219

贊曰:結成勝妙。於無量至苦行,是行因。不惜身命,由四因緣:一為求法,如雪山童子。二為報恩,如法護王子等。三為救貧,如金色師子等。四為救命,如薩埵王子等。方得此身,顯得果。最上無比等,是歎勝果。究竟故無上,無倫匹故無比,超情計故不思議,越語詮故過言說境,大涅槃故是妙寂靜,生死息故離五怖畏,謂不活畏、死畏、惡道畏、惡名畏、大眾畏。

Commentary: This concludes and establishes its supreme wonder. From 'throughout immeasurable' to 'austere asceticism' is the cause of practice. 'Without begrudging their bodily lives' occurred through four conditions: first, to seek the Dharma, as did the youth of the Himalayas (Himavat); second, to repay kindness, as did Prince Dharmapāla and others; third, to rescue from poverty, as did the golden lion and others; fourth, to save life, as did Prince Sattva and others. 'Only then obtaining this body' demonstrates the attainment of the fruit. 'Supreme and peerless' and so on praises the supreme fruit. Because it is ultimate, it is unexcelled; because it has no equal, it is peerless; because it surpasses cognitive speculation, it is inconceivable; because it transcends linguistic expression, it exceeds the domain of speech; because it is great nirvāṇa, it is wonderfully tranquil; because birth and death have ceased, it is free from the five terrors—namely, the terror of livelihood, the terror of death, the terror of the evil destinies, the terror of ill repute, and the terror of assemblies.
