下讚說法。八種微妙聲者,三經不同。依《梵摩喻經》云:一最妙聲、二易了、三深遠、四濡軟、五不妄、六不誤、七尊慧、八調和。二《中陰經》云:一非男、二非女、三非長、四非短、五非貴、六非賤、七非苦、八非樂。三依《十住斷結經》云:一不男、二不女、三不強、四不軟、五不清、六不濁、七不雄、八不雌。初二經小乘,《十住斷結》大乘,見聞異故。迦陵頻迦等者,妙音鳥也。

Below, it praises the expounding of the Dharma. As for the eight subtle and wondrous voices, the three sūtras differ. According to the Brahmāyu-sūtra, they are: 1. most wondrous voice, 2. easy to understand, 3. deep and resonant, 4. soft, 5. not false, 6. not erroneous, 7. noble and wise, 8. harmonised. Second, the Antarābhava-sūtra says: 1. not male, 2. not female, 3. not long, 4. not short, 5. not noble, 6. not base, 7. not suffering, 8. not pleasant. Third, according to the Daśadharmaka-sūtra, they are: 1. not male, 2. not female, 3. not harsh, 4. not weak, 5. not clear, 6. not turbid, 7. not masculine, 8. not feminine. The first two sūtras are Hīnayāna, while the Daśadharmaka is Mahāyāna, because their views and traditions differ. As for "kalaviṅka and others", it is the bird of wondrous sound.
