下第四說,文亦同前。言帝釋天主者,帝即是主,釋者是能,此云能帝,是總言也。後云天主者,能作天主。

Below is the fourth speech; the text is also the same as before. Regarding Śakra, Lord of the Devas: *di* (emperor/śakra) is 'lord', and *shi* (śakra) is 'capable'; here translated as 'capable lord' (*nengdi*), which is the general expression. The subsequent 'Lord of the Devas' means being capable of being the lord of devas.
